First of all, what's with the Mandarin thing? Ben Kinsley is playing an actor playing the Mandarin and Guy Pearce is the villain behind it all? I was totally disappointed. And the slapstick-y jokes? I really loved the subtler jokes from the other two Iron Man movies. Then they totally overdid those hologram things. In fact, I think they stressed the visual effects way too much. As weird as it may sound, that was way too much action for one movie, in my opinion. 40 different Iron Man suits fighting against those fire people, millions of explosions. Oh, man. I don't even wanna know how much money they spent on that one battle scene alone. And it didn't really feel like an Iron Man movie to me either. It was more like a Tony Stark (and Pepper Potts) gone superhuman movie.
