Yah, I read it. But I still enjoyed IM3 for what it was. I have come to separate the MCU from the comics. I mean, If I was being literal then Civil War would suck. It's almost NOTHING like the comics. But it's about as close to the comics as they could make it.
I get why people were disappointed with IM3. For me the Mandarin reveal was a miss (though a LOT of people found it downright hilarious) and I hated the ending with Pepper. That being said I enjoyed most of the rest of the movie.
It's FAR from the top of the MCU movies and definitely didn't deserve to make $1 billion. But then again neither did TDKR or any of the Transformers movies.
I also agree that Iron Man 1 is near perfect. Great performances by everyone involved and it shaped the future of the MCU as we know it.
