Blood for the Baron!

I thought it was cool as hades.

Exactly what I mean: if they were using Whiplash, and ended donning an armor, what says that they won't do the same to the Mandarin? Whiplash seemed a good idea because he was technological, but unlike Crimson Dynamo or Titanium Man, wouldn't result on a repeat of the Iron Monger. Guess what happened?
But don't get me wrong. I disliked that, but I liked most of the movie (Cap's shield! Yay!), it's just that I'm better highlighting the bad points rather than the good ones.

Loved IM 2 so much I watched it twice in IMAX
Loved the bit at the end of the credits with Thor's hammer.
I agree they got rid of Whiplash a bit too easily but overall a good film although it does seem to serve primarily as a way of setting up the Avengers.
