Yeah. For a movie about Iron man this movie seemed to do all it could to keep Tony from being in the Iron Man armor.
I AM IRON MAN.
Question, why was the armors so easily shaken by extremis? In the 2nd movie whiplash's whips could cut threw cars and alot of other sturdy materials and the armor was capable of still functioning despite the damage but alot when the Extremis bad guys would just grab the armor it seemed to freeze up be the pilot be it stark/Rhodes they just stood there and took the next attack.. Often a near lethal or debilitating one. Any explanation for this?

i know what you mean, but that's kinda what he does.
He makes situation-based armors... they tend to have strengths and weakness. The Mark II had that whole icing issue when he went into the upper atmosphere... he fixed that problem in all future models. The assumption can be made that when he makes another armor, he will account for the overheating issue.
one thing i wanted to see more of was the special abilities for the different suits, the only one i can remember showing a unique purpose was the heavy lifting one; all the rest were just unmanned drones.
Also, wasn't the stealth suit in the movie? It confused me when the kid suggested it and Tony said he'd build one... or was that a sarcastic response, like "yeah kid, beat you to it"?
