Mandarin being fake was meh....Tony getting whooped in his own house and having malfunctions with his suit for no reasons ...lame....also why did it take him a shit load of time to realise oh wait i have like 60 armors in the basement yet I want to recharge my total crappy armor,the thermo men taking on the suits and one shoting theme was terrible,Pepper whoopin Killian was horrible......
Only positive thing about the film is that it was funny.....
Dude fail
Spoiler:
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.

She gets injected with extremis and right when Killian is about to finish Tony she jumps in and uses her super strenght to toss him asside and uses one of Im suits bomb and glove blast to finish him....it's awful...
No it wasn't!
Spoiler:
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

You're relying on IMDB ratings? They have always been trash.
Regardless, time will tell. And I know this film was great.
Any unrealized points in the plot I'm happy to rationalize.
I didn't mind
Spoiler: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.
the twist
Also they should have given
Spoiler:
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.
But it's not epic like IM1, Avengers and TDK.

- I have to disagree on the
Spoiler: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
twist
Spoiler:
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.
Spoiler:
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.

He saved hundreds if not thousands of lives.

Oh no I wasn't against
Spoiler:But maybe that's just me.
the idea of the twist. I just hated how they made it "funny."
With IP all I'm saying is
Spoiler:
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:
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.

IMDB ratings are junk. Rely on your own perception of what the film was.
And that includes Rotten Tomatoes.
Believe in yourself.
I give the film a healthy 7/10.

I never said that those sites influence me on the movies. I mean American Ninja is one of my favorite films evah! And it only has a rating of 4.9. 😛
Bastards.
A possible War Machine movie got brought up again
http://www.comicbookmovie.com/fansites/BatFreak/news/?a=78322
When we have talked about the [War Machine] spin-off, what the departure point might be for War Machine… [we've discussed that] it might be when he goes rogue, so to speak, and takes a mission that he believes he is morally responsible for but is against policy and does it anyway. What happens when he’s out there and he’s been dishonourably discharged but he still has the suit, or Tony makes him another suit?”“And now he’s out there on his own too, but even worse than Tony, because now he’s a fugitive. Because if we wanted to do it, I think the best way to do it would be go darker, to take it and make it even more visceral. Sort of close to the first Iron Man, how it began. Really visceral and really realistic.”
