AWESOME! But I can see why comic book fans would be disappointed

Rating: 9/10 (28 April 2013)

OK just to make things clear upfront. I have never read an Iron Man comic book but am a huge fan of all the movies (including The Avengers).
There's really only one word that adequately describes how I felt about this movie... BITCHIN'! It has all the action, tech and humour of the first two movie on steroids.
Now at the first I couldn't understand why so fans bagged this movie out something chronic. But after talking to a comic book fan about the progression of the comic book storyline I kind of understand their disappointment.
The bottom line is if you're looking for it to follow the traditional storyline of the comic books you're not going to be happy. If you go in and see it just as part of the previous movies I think most people would enjoy it.
