    Thumbs up Iron Man 2. No spoilers!

    I'm surprised I'm the first (apparently) to discuss this.

    I saw it last week; really enjoyed it. I didn't like it quite as much as the first, but still really enjoyed it.

    I thought they should have left Scarlett Johansen blonde, called her 'Bobbi Morse', and not had her revealed as a SHIELD agent until the scene with the break-in. Mockingbird began as a SHIELD agent, was American, was unambiguously a good guy, was an Avenger sooner and longer (I believe), and otherwise was a better match for the character than Black Widow.

    Cool tie-ins to Marvel movies (sorry, some of them are spoilers).

    I recommend it.

    They're building up to the (Ultimate) Avengers movie, so needed the Black Widow. But I agree, Mockingbird would have been the better choice from the get go.

    Did you notice what Tony used to prop up his piece of machinery in that one scene? That busted-to-heck thing with the white star at the centre???

    It was... kind of hard to miss. Even the guy I was with who didn't recognise the post-credits scene for what it was (stay for it, people!) recognised that one!
    (The idea was that Howard - Tony's dad - had been working on it. Apparently.)
