Another lame hero in a lame plot

Rating: 6/10 (10 May 2013)

Like Nolan's third Batman, where he is portrayed as a cripple, hobbling out of retirement at half strength, here we have an Iron Man lamed with busted and under-powered gear throughout. What are we paying for if not to see our superheroes be super?
Then there was the lame plot. Stark dares the Mandarin to come and get him, gives his home address, and then doesn't bother to suit up, all the while having the wife in the house, exposed to risk. How stupid.
Equally stupid is that the Mandarin actually comes, with nothing more impressive than a few missile firing helicopters, despite knowing what Iron Man is capable of, and having no reason to suppose our man wouldn't be all suited up and waiting. Or at least have his radar turned on.
