Iron Man 3: wasting Ben Kingsley's talent (SPOILERS)

Rating: 7/10 (4 May 2013)

Alright so I've been anticipating this since last year's Avengers, and I was just a tad bit disappointed with this sequel. So, I said in the title there will be spoilers in this review.
The ONLY problem that I had with Iron Man 3 was the Mandarin. In all of the trailers and previews, Marvel made it seem as though the Mandarin was a dangerous and extremely evil man. BUT, it turns out that the Mandarin is not real.
We come to find out that Aldrich Kilian (Guy Pearce) just needed a cover-up, making it look like Ben Kingsley was the bad guy. But Guy Pearce was the bad guy all along. This is what disappointed me so much. It was basically as though all of the trailers were a lie.
But on with the good stuff! The special effects in this movie were incredible! Almost 10 minutes into the movie, Tony Stark was suiting up into his brand new Iron Man suit. And also, this movie had the theater (which was sold out of tickets) laughing almost the whole time, mainly the Mandarin "revealed" scene. That just shows how unexpected and silly it was. Yeah, the funniest scene was a Mandarin scene.
If you never read any of the comic books or wasn't very much anticipating this movie (as I was), then you'll most likely have a really fun time. I loved the movie. Just that one little part kind of ruined the movie for comic book fans and me. I recommend this movie to a Marvel fan, or superhero fan, or someone looking for a fun movie on a Friday or Saturday night.
