Honestly? I have mixed feelings about this movie. Fun and exciting as it may seem, there are certain points that really disappointed me.
The hype of The Mandarin leaves a bitter taste in my mouth. I mean Jon Favreau set the stage for Mandarin in the first Iron Man. So why let Killian take over and spoil it? There will be so much more damage The Mandarin could have done with his rings. So why write off one of the most formidable foes in Iron Man universe?

| In Iron Man, you can clearly see the 10 Ring logo as well as one of the rings from the leader |
Infact you can actually see a reference to Fin Fang Foom as well in a blink and miss scene.
The whole Extremis storyline could have been better played out. I would have loved to see Ezekiel Stane come back to take revenge for Obadiah.
Iron Patriot was kind of disappointing, would have loved to see more action sequence from the suit.
Complains aside, as a whole the movie was quite fun and bold. The whole Pepper putting on the suit and removing it was beautifully executed. The soundtrack by Brian Tyler was amazing. The ending battle showcased a variety of his suits though it was kind of fast to catch. RDJ again plays Tony Stark as how he should be.
Special mention to the Ty Simpkins as Harley. The boy played an unforgettable role in the movie.
Shane Black took a risk and moved the first part of the Marvel movie Phase 2 in a new direction. It leaves many wondering what is going to happen to Tony? Is he going to be back in Avengers? What is going to happen to Iron Man 4 if there is any.
The after credit scene is just fun, compared to the previous after credit scenes in the movies of the first phase.
Time to look forward to Thor 2 coming up in November. Another movie which I have high expectations for.
There was additional scenes in the China version of the movie. Check out what you missed.
