Did the writer and director know anything about iron man as from the looks of things Not really for a start the Mandarin is meant to be to iron man what the joker is to batman instead in this movie he is a joke!! The whole soul searching thing was a huge disappointment as well it gave moments of the tony stark we love and want to see but not enough and as for war machine why was its name changed to iron patriot that never happened and how could it be left out of the final battle and the ending of tony destroying all the suits and having the metal removed so he doesn't need the arc reactor in his chest what a great way to try and stop the franchise.
Don't get me wrong its a OK film and some of it was great the overall story would have been acceptable if the Mandarin wasn't used and his role was just a average terrorist and it didn't go done the same road as batman dark knight rises did
I don't see how marvel could have said yes to this movie as the fans wouldn't have
It just shows either marvel cant do third movies as iron man 3 goes into the same area as spiderman 3 and xmen last stand where either they didn't care or they employed people who haven't got a clue about the project
Personally i was upset and disappointed by this movie all the hype wasn't delivered and what makes it worse was how it followed great films like iron man 2 and the avengers
And marvel please educate the staff on the project there on make them read all the comics so disappointment like this will never happen
See it but don't expect to be blown away
