I found it creative of Marvel to introduce each character one by one. It really set the tone and had me looking forward to what's gonna happen.

With a movie like this you wonder how all of the otherwise, main characters will work together and support the story. No problems here. While as might be expected, R. Downey Jr. comes across largely central, it is still a good mix and I...
