Iron Man is underwhelming, completely overrated. The Winter Soldier stomps it in action, story, entertainment, writing and characters. IM has a great beginning, a good end, and a great performance from Robert Downey Jr. but it is by far one of the most formulaic movies I've seen. Probably because they had no script.
The Winter Soldier had action, political intrigue, humour and stern, commentary on the state of security, development for the main character and the villain (who, by the way, surpasses Iron Man's villain by far). Iron Man is a generic film.
I'd like to clarify that IM is not a bad movie. But it's overrated.
