Very disappointed in Marvel.

Well in my opinion Iron Man 3 is atrocious monstrosity of a movie. Beware spoiler alerts ahead! I did enjoy the human element they brought to Tony Stark with his PTSD and his portrayal of how crafty is without his suits. They still royally screwed up the plot and here is why: First, they took the Mandarin, one of Iron Man's greatest nemesis and made him a complete joke. While I believe it would of been tough to explain the Mandarin's powers and where he got them I am sure they could of done it http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mandarin_(comics)(especially if they mention Thor and Avenger's references). Second they took the Extremis story arch and completely tore it apart. Extremis is meant to be Tony Stark's biggest challenge yet and eventually leads him to perfect his suit by syncing his reflexes with the Iron Man suit (there has always been a delay from the commands he issues to the suits reaction.) Third, while I was impressed that they introduced Iron Man's different suits (he has made suits for different jobs, like the Hulk Buster.) They provided a very shaky narrative for their creations. Fourth, they had the worst ending you could ever come up with. The death of the antagonist was lame. I recommend everyone should watch the anime version of the Extremis story arch. This is how they should of done the movie. I am very disappointed in Marvel, the director, and everyone else who didn't speak up on how bad this movie is. I do not have high hopes for the next Iron Man movie. http://movies.netflix.com/WiMovie/Iron_Man_Extremis/70204996
