again, it just didn't make sense to me to cut out stuff like [SPOILER - highlight to read]: The Mandarin not having powers I mean that's IMs arch enemy.. they could've at least done him some on screen justice (almost like the Power rings wouldn't have been believable) then to give the Extremis users such crazy powers. just didn't seem right to me... but none the less I still enjoyed it.

Saw the midnight showing and I gotta say I am disappointed. It's not a bad film, rather it's merely decent and only marginally better than IM2.
I had two major problems with it:
1st: [SPOILER - highlight to read]: The Mandarin twist. My problem isn't that they mangled the comic character, rather they ruined a very intriguing and awesome movie villain. Throughout the 1st half of the movie the Mandarin is very intimidating and appears to have complex motivations, however they throw this away for an unintriguing villain with rather boring motivations.
2nd: [SPOILER - highlight to read]: Pepper Pots defeating Killian. This was utterly ridiculous and my biggest gripe. The hero is supposed to overcome the antagonist, he's not supposed to be defeated only for a secondary character to come in and do his job for him... Ugh. It reminds me of TDKR, but at least in that movie Batman was able to overcome Bane. Here, Iron Man isn't victorious but rather Pots is. Awful IMO.

You know with how much control Jarvis had over the suits they could totally make him Ultron. Tony accidentally creating Ultron makes more sense than Pym.
Just got back from seeing it. I wonder what SHIELD was doing througout this whole movie? Anyways I give the movie a 7 out of 10, I actually liked IM 2 better.

Entertaining movie but I was disappointed by it. [SPOILER - highlight to read]: No Extremis Iron Man, they butchered the Mandarin the second half of the movie and no GotG after credits..

Just got back from watching it. Definitely worth going and seeing.
[SPOILER - highlight to read]: The bit with the Mandrain was kind of sad/disappointing but it worked within the context of the story they writing. Also I think knowing it before hand helped with it.
[SPOILER - highlight to read]: The inconsistency of how the armors dealt with the Extremis Enhanced Humans. Killian and his right hand man made the armors fall to their knees with mere touches yet when the unmanned armors were fighting the Extremis Thugs they were able to take on two to three of them at a time and do pretty well. Heck based on the final fire work display and with their apparently being only 42 made it looks like the only suits Tony lost were the ones Killian and Pepper took out. Also Killian survives one of the suits exploding but then gets destroyed by random armor missile mixed with repulsor blast.
