Iron Man 3 was ok. Interesting use of the deus ex machina, but I suppose it had to be done. Did not like how the final fight scene was done at all. Spoilers ahead-
Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 
Hell, I didnt like how they explained the red glowing-thing. How are they defeated? How come in the final fight scene the suits all go and fight the glowing minions yet it seems like the glowing minions are invincible? They are impervious to bullets, can regenerate, and seem to be able to withstand explosions. If thats the case, how were they defeated? A fall shouldnt defeat them, nor should water. This was the biggest plot hole, in my opinion. They offered no explanation as to the tech behind the regeneration, nor how they can be defeated.

Furthermore, the whole helicopter attack thing was stupid. Seriously, does Jarvis not have Radar? You would think that a system so advanced would have at least some sort of early warning detection system, especially since he was basically inviting an attack. Maybe that showed how confident he was in the suits, that he didnt need more defense?

Now about Mandarin- what a joke, seriously, I was totally let down. The Mandarin in the comics was basically the Joker of the Iron Man series. Very, very lame.

Finally, the whole final plot was grand, but I seriously cannot fathom why, if Air Force One was destroyed and the president kidnapped, why on earth there arent a swarm of police and the military looking for him. In the final battle, where was the police and the military? You would think if there was a massive battle going on in what I think was Miami harbor, there would at least be cops there. And the Air Force guy was there, he could have called in some air support or something.

The whole movie felt like a joke. I liked how they started to get into his PTSD, but they never really explained it. That had so much potential but I feel it was totally wasted.


So yeah, I give it a 5/10, really just for the nice explosions.
