The Mandarin stuff was the only "WTFK" moment for me. It felt like a kick in the face of the Mandarin fans.
Anywhoo, besides that (I'm not a really big Mandarin fan, so...) I thought it was a GREAT fucking movie, maybe as good as the Avengers.

9,5/10

Oh, and Paltrow would make a GREAT Samus.

Spoiler: show

it was a cool thing for the story, but wtf??? use that villain for something like that...i dont know. I guess Mandarin fans are going to hate this turn. Guy Pearce was amazing though.

Some great comedy ("I just stole a poncho off a wooden Indian") and I loved the Mandarin stuff. I agree that the ending was a little strange. Did you guys stick around for the post-credit scene?

"It's a big bunny, relax about it."

"Dads leave. Don't be a pussy."

"I don't even like working here, they are so weird."

I noticed there were a LOT of Mandarin lines used in the trailers that weren't in the final cut of the film. He had very little screen time, too. I guess there must be a lot of Mandarin deleted scenes. Boy, Ben Kingsley was great.

Spoiler: show

yeah he was...but i can imagine the fanboy´s disappointment in the way the handle the character. I liked it,but still....

I liked it. I imagine a lot of comic book fans won't. But it works in the film.

Spoiler: show

his house gets destroyed, and they let a local police/construction crew clean it up with all his tech burried? where the frak was SHIELD??? and, when he goes MIA/leading up to the end battle, President is taken hostage... I'd have made some mention that... Thors back in Asgard, Hulks who knows where, Cap is busy being Cap, snap out of it Tony its UP TO YOU this time... they played it up so well the first half of the movie that he wasnt dealing with being a super hero, but they really gave no explanation / reason for him suddenly being all alone... Sir Ben was great as the wanna be Mandarin puppet though.
