Theres a definite effort to tell a story here, starting with the sight of clouds of smoke coming from the city skyline, followed by the source of the destruction, a bunch of knockoff Brainiac ships. Cut to Tony Stark watching from his penthouse, and then casually putting a team together like hes building an invention. Of course, we then get a generic battle sequence where the heroes inevitably save the day.

While its considerably better than a series of disconnected clips, the story of a group of heroes forming to fight bad guys doesnt have much depth without some reason to care about the individual heroes. And with the exception of a fantastic introduction to the Hulk, we get no feel for the personalities of the characters from generic scenes like youd see on ads for action figures. Contrast this with the intro to the Justice League cartoon, which manages to make each individual character seem uniquely iconic (even someone as uninteresting as Hawkgirl):

The theme song is also on the generic side, but works very well with this intro, managing to make the combat seem more exhilarating than it actually is. And the animation is pretty average. Overall, its a decent intro, but it had the potential to be better.
