Great review. I'm glad you liked Iron Man 2, as I did as well.

I firmly believe a lot of people hate on this movie way too much. Although there's the main plot is not very solid, it still makes sense, as well as the other subplots. The main purpose of this movie is to expand the Marvel Cinematic Universe while we wait for Marvel's The Avengers, and it does that job well. The dialogue is good, although it sometimes feels too casual, the characters are good, and the action is good too. The final battle is often considered the shortest fight scene in the MCU, but that's not true if you consider the beginning of the entire climax when the Hammerdroids start chasing Iron Man (as I do), it's just that the final battle is segmented in three parts, aerial chase, Ganov battle (I call the IM and WM vs. Hammerdoids battle that way because it was Adi Granov's idea) and then Whiplash battle. It's pretty long if you take to account what I just said. So, as I always say: If a movie has a plot good enough, good dialogue and actors, good action and good visual effects, it just can't be a bad film.

I also find some people think Whiplash was a weak villain. Considering he managed to deceive Hammer into making him believe he was merely a "I no speak Engrish" monkey in order to build an entire army of metal men with which he managed to fight Iron Man and partially destroy one of the main aspects of his legacy, the Stark Expo, it's pretty impressive.
