The sequel is a slight improvement in violence and story, but its not remotley an Ultimates tale, and the cliche of having the Nazi alien from WWII Cap fought retain his old uniform throughout the sequel is laughable.
The star of the films is undoubtedly The Hulk, nothing remotley changed. Banner's a victim, but also an asshole, his journey from selfish to selfless is the most mature and well-handled of two movies that spend a lot of time making people shout and brood a lot.
