@nathaniel_christopher: "The movie as it was marketed is nothing like the movie actually is. The trailers made it seem as if it would be far darker than it was..."
Ahhhh, okay. I must have misunderstood you the first time.
I completely agree with you there.

@thegwailo: haha I'm glad that you now know you aren't alone in the Iron Man 3.....hate? Let's go with dislike. I didn't hate the movie.
By ten rings i'm assuming you mean the Gauntlet? I didn't think about that, but that would have been a really really badass cameo at the end. Maybe they'll drop it in Thor?
On PP, I'm gonna have to disagree with you on that one. I'm fine with her being the damsel in distress.
If you are wanting another hero-type character, I say just gave Iron Pat a bigger role in the movie.

@nathaniel_christopher: On the contrary! The movie was marketed, dare i say, perfectly? The movie did amazing in the box office and most everyone loved/s it.

BUT, it definitely was NOT marketed towards us, the comic nerd(s). I can't blame the studio for making all the money they possibly can, but throw us a bone! Even the BB cameo at the end (which I watched online because the credits took forever) was a complete joke, literally and figuratively.

Once again, I'll reference Nolan's Batman series. I think they did a terrific job of appealing to the general public, while keeping "us" happy. Dissecting those movies is an entirely new beast, but all-in-all i think they did good both ways.

@dextersinister: What about the big blue suit that the movie showed? I thought that was supposed the be the Hulk Buster suit, the Mark 38 I think.
I would think that the Hulk Buster would be the strongest.

@danhimself: The movie made it seem as if all of his suits were just suits-in-progress. Even if he got the Mark 43, Killian would have just touched it and made it explode haha
Shane Black really dropped the ball.

@veshark: I'm probably as casual of a reader as you can get, without being completely emerged in the Marvel Universe. So half the time i don't exactly know what's out there, but if this touches on the topic similar to Bendis's then ill definitely pick it up.

@itwasgood: Y

Arguing about the ptsd is silly. That was by far the least troubling element of this film. I could buy him having some ptsd especially since he was taken completely by surprise by it and didn't even recognise it as a panic attack.

However, no amount of explanations about all the armors being prototypes can possibly convince me that it makes any sense that suits or armor were being taken out left and right by low level extremis goons, be they highly trained or not. These extremis flunkies were taking down armors in a single blow, tearing them apart. Even Pepper having just completed the extremis transformation punches her fist straight through a suit of armor that can withstand heavy artillery or better yet as established in the Avengers multiple blows from THOR the thunder GOD and his hammer, one of the top tier power level characters. The massive way they nerfed the suit of armor in this film makes any notion of him battling an interstellar invasion as he did in Avengers seem ridiculous.

There were so many unexplained weird plot holes, perhaps only from a comic geek's perspective but nonetheless it came to a point i could no longer tolerate.

When they captured rhodey and were trying to extract him from the suit by super heating it and Flunky #1(aka Coldblood never named or identified as anything special in the film) tells killian that he will damage the suit, to which he casually retorts you can fix it. Like its no big thing dealing with some of the highest of technology known to man. Seconds after which we see the Iron Patriot suit back in action.

Shield did need mentioning in some fashion to explain it away that they were not present. This is an international incident directly threatening the life of the president. Any explanation would have sufficed, but if you are setting up a unified universe for all these stand alone films to exist in you can't mention the avengers in one breath for the purposes of ptsd and then ignore everything else that film set up.

Further the overarching evil plot was ridiculous and completely incoherent. How is that the type of goal that the scientist supreme and AIM would strive for? for what for money??? funding??

How about just AIM in general. AIM is meant to be composed of brilliant scientists through and through and lead by the Scientist Supreme elected from amongst them as the pre-eminent mind in their organization. Killian did not once display any semblance of being a scientist much less a brilliant one. At best he came off as the head of a criminal organization that funded Maya's research so that he could bastardise it. Where are all the rest of the scientists?? Where is any semblance of an organization for that matter. There did not seem to be anybody involved in the organization other than Killian himself. Everbody else were just extremis injected soldiers. Literally EVERYBODY. In any and all Marvel continuity AIM is a large organization ( in current continuity they have established themselves as an independent nation!) and all they get is one bullied school kid lashing out at the world who was pranked by an immature Tony Stark. ABSURD!

Referencing your point about Tony assaulting the Mandarin's compound solo with home-depot gear is also completely out of character and ridiculous. With the resources at his disposal there is absolutely no reason or urgency at that point for him to attempt something that stupid, he is no bruce wayne. At the point in the film which this occurred there was no imminent threat or any particular evil plot in play. His mansion destroyed yes but nothing to suggest he needed to stay hidden and not contact anybody or tap his vast resources and tech to help him.

It just goes on and one honestly. Highly disappointed.

Yeah, Idk why he latched onto a point that i didn't even list.

Throughout the movie i just kept telling myself "3000 degrees C, that's enough to melt a suit, right?...."
But at this point I know that's completely ridic. And bringing up Thor not being able to crush the suit was a really good point that i completely forgot.

On SHIELD: Once again ANY explanation would have sufficed, but simply not having one was awful.

I lol'd at your home-depot spill. My friend and I were discussing this exact point actually. There was absolutely no need for him to do that. Why couldn't he just fly to Florida, (i think it was Florida) and get a new(er) suit, before making himself look like an ass by getting caught. Dumb.

@the_stegman: it wouldn't have bothered me so much if the entire movie didn't have problems. If this was the ONLY problem, and they had some other badass villain, i could stomach it a lot better.
It just goes back to the general public not knowing, and them liking the comedic value.
Did i appreciate comedic value? Of course.
I don't need a super serious "by-the-book" Iron Man movie. Just give me something, as a comic reader, to latch onto, (whether it be subtle references, or whatever they can fit into the movie) and give the casual viewers what they want.
I know we are in the minority, and money has to be made. I'm just asking for a small percent, the casual viewers can have the rest.
Heck, Ledgers Joker wasn't a by-the-book Joker, but it was still completely badass.
