Iron Man 1 beats this by far. I even enjoyed Iron Man 2 more than this garbage. This film couldn't decide on what it wanted to be, dark, a comedy, or an action film. The Christmas/New Year's Eve setting is overdone (especially by Shane Black). Having Tony control his armor(s) like a drone, made it seem as the second film was pointless. We learned in 2 that a human pilot is better than A.I. controlled bots, and what does he do in the final battle? Uses A.I. bots, -_-. The non-presence of SHIELD or any other Avenger really bothered me, especially with the scope of the plot. All the twists were obvious and the one twist you can't see coming is totally lame. I was really excited to see Ben Kingsley play The Mandarin, seriously, not this crappy "He's not really the Mandarin". I was completely let down by this film. The visuals were spectacular, but in this day and age, that's not saying much.
