Last fight in the movie should've been longer
As a big Formula One fan, the scenes at Monaco were a let down for me. F1 cars haven't look like that in 20 years. If Tony Stark were that rich, he'd be sponsoring the real deal, not F2, GP2 or IndyCar or whatever those cars were supposed to be.
I also couldn't help but think that Whiplash chose a really bad place to meet Stark. He was standing at the Swimming Pool area of the track, but if he really wanted to kill him, he probably should've waited at the entrance of the tunnel after Portier or after the Grand Hotel Hairpin. Both of those are blind corners and he could've ambushed him from either.
=\
I was a bit disappointed with it, really.
Honestly, Tony's development as a character was ridiculous. He went through a huge number of changes in a week. It takes some people years to go through those issues.
I was also unimpressed with the enemies as well. Whiplash was pretty cool, but Hammer was a waste of time. I could tell where the movie was going after the F1 race and it was just too predictable to me.
The one of the scenes that I did like was when Tony and Rhodey were fighting in the suits in his house during the party. Really reminded me of Rock'em, Sock'em Robots XD
Yes, he was supposed to be an alcoholic, but the film depicts this pretty much just as a big night on the piss.Quote:

I was expecting some bad ass epic fight scene that would put the Rhodey/Tony fight to shame. Very much disappointed in that one.Quote:

As a movie it wasn't nearly as impressive as the first one, but the fights were much better putting it just lower over all.
EDIT: Oh yeah, the main reason I wanted to post.
I was not down with Samuel Jackson being cast as Nick Fury in the least. They could have done much better.
I can't help but laugh whenever someone says something like this. Ultimate Nick Fury was designed after Samuel L. Jackson. They even asked for his permission to design the character after him....Quote:

THE JACKEL
It made it pretty apparent that Tony was starting to crack under the pressure of his responsibility and ego and completely withdraw from any responsibility long before the movie started. In fact, it was pretty clear from the opening scenes that he was back to acting like his usual irresponsible self.Quote:

I'll admit that with everything else being based on the regular Marvel Universe I was kind of wishing the Nick Fury was the original version, but I think that has more to do with me recently catching up on all of the Secret Invasion stuff which made it pretty clear that Nick Fury is a bad ass. Ultimate Nick Fury is no slouch either though.Quote:

Also Scarlett Johansson was pretty damn hot in that movie. Her kick ass scene was possibly the best scene in the entire film.
I was aware of this, but seeing as Nick Fury is a well established marvel character and I haven't read a single Ultimate Marvel comic it is hard for me to see him as the same person.Quote:

If you're talking about ace girl's evaluation of him, I think you're reading into that in the wrong direction. I doubt it was intended to break any 4th walls. It was an evaluation of the character's character. They wanted Iron Man the Hero. They don't want "Tony Stark" being "Tony Stark".Quote:

was that (SPOILER) new element vibranium by any chance?
Seeing as it doesn't produce energy it shouldn't be.Quote:

It's called a cameo.
Also, her 'job' on G4 regularly has her reporting on tech news, and the Stark Expo was all about technology.
A more 'controversial' cameo, if it can even be called that, is DJ AM. The DJ in the party scene.
He's dead y'know. (Personally I thought it was fine.)
