I felt there were enough twists and turns to keep me entertained throughout the film (especially the end credits sceen). About the only thing that I *might* have an issue with is some of Tony's epilogue at the end that wrapped up Pepper's issue and basically eliminated Tony's shrapnel problem. But the seed was already planted about Stark having already figured out the flaw in Extremis 13 years prior (and while drunk, too).

I also didn't see a problem with the handling of Tony's PTSD. They didn't say he was completed cured, but he did find better coping mechanisms for dealing with it. Besides, his ego probably beat it into submission anyway ("This brain ain't big enough for the both of us, pilgrim").

IMHO, Iron Man 3 fits in well with the two previous films and Shane Black definitely followed Favreau's lead in style, tone and character development. I honestly loved Ben Kingsley in this and I thought the filmmakers did a great job adapting the Mandarin for the big screen. Guy Pierce was great as well.

I hope that if there is a 4th Iron Man, we will see a proper Rescue and a new War Machine.

I couldn't agree more with this ^^.

I was very disappointed to hear that of all the great reviews and positive word of mouth that this movie has received, it's once again my fellow Comic Book fans that are spewing the most vitriol in the comments section, although I'm certainly not surprised.

I am a huge Iron Man comic book fan, but was not disappointed in how this Mandarin was executed in the least bit. Mostly because I'd rather have an Iron Man movie that doesn't piss off the rest of the world and is instead embraced as this one was.

I'm excited to see if having the shrapnel removed via Extremis proceedure also means in Avengers 2 he will not only be able to control his next armor at the speed of thought...but also be able to see through satellites as well (taking a page straight out of the Extremis comic source material). What I don't quite remember in the comics, is why Tony ever got his arc reactor put back in his chest when it was long removed during the whole Extremis through Director of Shield storylines all the way up to Matt Fractions run? Seeing as how I have all the books I suppose I could go back and find out, but I'm lazy :P oh well.

I want an Extremis'd out Killian figure also!
