I dare say it was a rather bland: It still felt a bit too much like a standard Marvel superhero movie to me, with the same generic villains, the pain in the ass comic relief, and the all-too-familiar origin story.

Don't get me wrong, I did like it: I'd put it in my top five Marvel movies.
It seemed like more of a market test to see if they could push things with the R rating and still attract an audience.

My guess is the next film will push things even further, as they've already established there is a purely adult audience for superhero movies.
