Not as good as the first one, but still a pretty solid romp. It's main problem is it's trying to set up "The Avengers" in the same way "Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice" was trying to set up the next 20 films down the line, which in both cases, they thankfully learned from. There's enough plots in this movie to make at least 3 movies. The stuff with Black Widow and Whiplash is pretty good and really fun, but in terms of plot, it doesn't really deliver. Grade: C 7/10 3.5/5 stars
