Retains the charm of the first movie, but it's overstuffed. You've got:
Whiplash
Hammer
The government cracking down on Tony
Anton Venko
Tony's alcoholism/hubris
Tony's relationship with Pepper
Tony's paladium poisoning and search for a new element
Fury and Romanov
Those last two could be lifted out without affecting the narrative.
The entire first half hour tells you nothing that isn't repeated again in a couple of lines of dialogue anyway, that could be taken out too and used to strengthen the remaining elements.
Still full of fun stuff, but the bloat means it's not as rewatchable.
Rating: Good
