That's because people's definitions of action and what is important in what they consider a good movie are not the same. I admit that the movie Ironman did not have protracted battle scenes like other Marvel movies. But then, that's not what I was looking for in it. I got exactly what I wanted out of it. You may find that the next one will have more time for action, seeing that it doesn't have to set up backstory.

Or maybe it's just not for you.
