Of course, that doesn't mean Tony won't be back for a couple more Avengers movies...<br /><br />I saw it this evening. I, too, enjoyed the humor that was mixed in throughout the movie. It also had the usual metal-suited awesomeness that we've come to expect, but I have a few complaints:<br /><br />*spoilers*<br />1. I feel somewhat cheated by the revelation about the Mandarin. The trailers were all about building him up and then they hit us with that? Also, if I recall correctly, the name "The Ten Rings" comes up in the first movie, so they missed a great tie-in opportunity.<br />2. Was I the only one bewildered by the kid? I mean, he was funny...but Tony acts like he knows him from the start, but I don't think he did. In their initial meeting, I was expecting to find out that the kids mom was an old friend/flame or something...<br />3. The glowing red people were...interesting. I spent far too much time wondering if they were from some ancient Iron Man comic of the past, but I don't know my Iron Man lore very well. I do have some complaints about how they can grab a suit with one red-hot hand and suddenly the suit is lying on the ground like a pile of scrap. Even Whiplash's electric whips weren't that effective in incapacitating an Iron Man suit.<br /><br />But alas...this is the kind of "thinking too hard" that I know I shouldn't do with summer blockbuster movies. All in all, it was a good flick and I'm sure I'll be buying it on Blu-ray when it comes out.MarcinMNhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03809791516038743561noreply@blogger.com
