Dude fail [SPOILER - highlight to read]: Mandarin twist was awesome! if he remained a hate monger the film would've been a drag. They made the right choice with him being an actor, it was hilarious.
The new suit was a prototype, it couldn't fly. Jarvis said himself it wasn't ready for combat use. And in regards to Pepper? Killian gave her an advanced version of the virus.
No it wasn't! [SPOILER - highlight to read]: Killian wanted to make her PERFECT! she was obviously an advanced version of the virus! Killian ensured he was more advanced than his soldiers. He wanted her to be as good....as stated in film, a trophy. Pretty much a trophy wife. He was heavily damaged after his fight with Tony and that allowed Pepper to have a physical edge in combat.
Watch the film again you missed much.
The film was awesome and will go down in history as the best in the series

I didn't mind [SPOILER - highlight to read]: the twist in principal. Just didn't like how funny it was made. Such a pivotal part of the movie shouldn't have been made funny Imho.
Also they should have given [SPOILER - highlight to read]: Iron Patriot some damn action! Especially in the middle when the movie was getting a bit slow. IP went down wayyy too easily.
But overall I thought it was cool. The Mark 42 was cool. The combined armors fighting was all cool. And Robert Downey still made a great performance.
- I have to disagree on the [SPOILER - highlight to read]: twist If it was allowed to manifest in the direction the film was leading into, then the film would've been a drag. The choice was genius. And [SPOILER - highlight to read]: Tony's actions in the film was similar to a Bond style of character, exposing a conspiracy that would've eventuated in an arms war between many nations.
He saved hundreds if not thousands of lives.
-In regards to the Iron Patriot [SPOILER - highlight to read]: It was hilarious how he mocked its existence throughout the film! We love War Machine as fans not stupid Iron Patriot. And the fact that IP existed as a decoy for AIMs purposes shows just how Tony's actions exposed such an icon.
Agree on the cool factor of the armors but disagree on the fact that IM3 wasn't as epic as IM1.
IM1 was an origin story and hard to beat. IM3 was a incredible mature advancement into Stark's story.
People will realize this in the future.
A) It will not drop to a 5, that's a garuntee.
B) You have to take multiple sources for a review. If you look at the 93% from critics and 99% from audience on rottentomatoes for instance; it looks MUCH better.
C) A lot of AMERICAN review sites are saying it could be THE BEST Iron Man yet. Iron man won't do as well critically overseas as it will domestically; so when it launches here the score will only go up.

Oh no I wasn't against [SPOILER - highlight to read]: the idea of the twist. I just hated how they made it "funny." But maybe that's just me.
With IP all I'm saying is [SPOILER - highlight to read]: He was there to be used while Tony was out of action. I really feel like we could have used some Armour action in the middle. So why not utilize him?
Agree with the rest. Cool movie overall.
And especially good for a third movie. Historically 3rd movies arn't usually the best for superhero movies - Spiderman 3 & X-Men 3 come to mind.
-I believe the funny factor was a win personally. And pushed the limits into what people on an international scale perceived the political message.
-IP was shown "surprisingly" on the level comic fans wanted to see it shown in. Which was a pleasant surprise. [SPOILER - highlight to read]: As a mockery
-Cool.
-IM3 WILL go down as the best in a possible trilogy. It's hard to beat an origin story. And this film wasn't the Extremis Arc story I expected. But it blew it out of the water in regards as standing on its own as a story.
It pushed Stark forward as a political espionage thriller style character.
Which surprised me.
IMDB is one of the best places for a wide variety of reviews from a wide variety of people. Once more reviews from Rotten tomatoes comes through, there will be more rottens, but overall should have a healthy amount of positives.
