Don't get your hopes up

Rating: 4/10 (31 May 2013)

I am a big fan of Marvel and have seen all their movies. I enjoyed Iron Man 1 and 2 but this one disappointed me. It looked promising at first but then came the flaws:
The Mandarin wasn't in the whole movie. He just appeared on TV talking about destruction. In the end of the movie they make Aldrich say he is The Mandarin which is stupid because the guy isn't even Asian or have the rings on. Why mess up one of the greatest Iron Man antagonist?
They renamed War Machine to Iron Patriot and made his suit look almost like Captain America's costume. They also didn't have War Machine appear, only Rhodes which bothered me because I was hoping to see Iron Man and War Machine in action.
A majority of the movie didn't even involve Tony in the Iron Man suit. Mostly Tony just shooting guns and making weapons from stuff he got from a hardware store. The movie should have been called Tony Stark.
So if you want to watch it just keep that stuff in mind and don't get your hopes up from the lies the trailer showed you.
