I have to admit, as a comics geek, when I first discovered that some of Shakespeare's plays had actual continuity, I got a bit excited!

Alien is in the DNA of this film, for sure, but this is Ridley Scott coming at science fiction from a completely different direction.

This isn't just a team-up; it serves to move everyone forward to a new dramatic place from which to launch the next round of Marvel Studios films, as well as providing a launching point for the starts of new franchises.

Jon Favreau approached Avi Arad with the intention of making it a comedy, but luckily opted to make Iron Man instead. Then, Incredible Hulk director, Louis Leterrier, was shown concept art and offered his services, but Marvel turned him down.

Not only is this film set six months after the first film, through later interactions with Fury, we discover that it is occurring at the same time as The Incredible Hulk and that Stark's father was a founding member of S.H.I.E.L.D.

The story, unfortunately, doesn't really break any new ground, despite being action-packed and more viscerally entertaining than Ang Lee's version.

This is the sort of film that makes my job a joy and will reward multiple viewings. I wish more directors and production studios took the time to really focus on filmmaking instead of falling back on spectacle.
