Ironman is a good example of a summer popcorn flick. Characters have depth, there is character development, there is an interesting story that isn't crappy and poorly written, it's well acted and directed plus it's full of great action sequences and special effects. The first Transformers was missing all of that except the action. And in this day and age with all these fancy computers and what not, it's not that hard to make great action sequences and CGI. There is no reason not to expect more.
I didn't like the first transformer movie. It looks like I am going to get dragged to the second one by my girlfriend and I don't have high hopes for it.
