Christopher Nolan Should Sue

Rating: 6/10 (5 May 2013)

If you haven't seen The Dark Knight Rises, go watch it before you read this review.
It's almost as if Shane Black has watched DKR way too many times. Iron Man 3 had almost the same plot line and the same twists. Just like Batman, Iron Man is left with nothing an stranded out in the middle of nowhere while everything he knows is being ripped apart.
Plenty of characters were completely screwed up in this movie as well. Instead of the Mandarin being a complete bad ass, they made him out as a joke and gave him the name Trevor who's a British junkie who calls himself an actor. Then to top it off they give Aldrich Killian the alias of the Mandarin and make it so he has been the boss the entire time. Sounds kinda like how Talia al-Guhl was in control and not Bane like everyone thought. Also Maya Hansen was suppose to be Tony's (ex) lover just like Talia with Bruce Wayne, and just like Talia, double crosses Iron Man. Another character ruined was Coldblood aka Eric Savin.
The ending of the movie totally sucked. If Tony could have had the shrapnel surgically removed from his chest why wouldn't he have done it in the first movie? The movie leaves you believing that he's giving up Iron Man for good, so what's he going to do in Avengers 2 (if RDJ decided to be in it)?
The end credits scene was a total waste of time too. I'm not sure how it was in other theaters but I had to wait an extra ten minutes because they decided to put it at the very end instead of after the main end credits.
If tickets weren't $100 (exaggerating) I would have just walked out of the theater. TOTAL disappointment from a huge Marvel fan. I put this along the lines of the Spider-Man Trilogy and the Fantastic Four movies. Horrible.
