so this was only the second time i've seen Iron Man 3. The first time I saw it I didnt know about the mandarin "twist" so I was utterly crushed when I realized I wasnt going to see what I was waiting for during iron man 1&2, and that is iron man vs his greatest foe the mandarin, the bait and switch (aka advertising) marvel did for this movie unashamedly made it seem like fans would finally get to see iron man vs the mandarin, but we all know that was clearly a blatant lie to get fans in the seats
going into it this time, knowing what happens, I tried to keep an open mind and my expectations were low. Realistically it had some good moments, but this movie was more about tony stark than iron man. I will admit I did really enjoy seeing all the different armors at the end, but I still think its asinine that tony decided to destroy them all for Pepper, and why she would even want that in the first place. Also the track record for movies with child side kicks is not very good, and this one falls into that category lol
either way, im rating it higher now than I did the first time I saw it because I was prepared for the "twist" so I wasnt blind sided like I was during the first viewing
realistically though the absolute highest rating I can give this deception of a movie is
5.5/10
with that being said iron man has always been one of my least favorite original avengers, definitely my least favorite from the cap/thor/iron man trio, but that doesnt affect my movie ratings because I judge the movie on their merits not the character, i'd rate captain america first avenger a 5.5/10 if at the end red skull turned out to be the constrictor or some crap
I did enjoy when Tony said that war machine was a much better name than iron patriot, I agreed with him on that point at least
