Just got back from seeing it, so I'll get the ball rolling!

I thought it was pretty awesome, but really different to what I was expecting. I mean its still a Marvel movie so its more comic book than something like Dark Knight Rises was, but it almost felt like a Marvel approach to something like Dark Knight Rises, in that it was a lot more about Tony Stark and less about Iron Man and Tony Stark dealing with the fallout of the s*** he did in Avengers and just how being Iron Man is f*****g with him. Theres still some great action sequences with the Iron Man suit(s), but a lot more of Tony Stark having to actually do s*** and fight people and get out of trouble without his armor, or with makeshift bits and pieces.

Really cool villain too, made it more personal and not just Iron Man fighting robots or another guy in armour.

Negatives for me were the fact that a lot of the action sequences where hes Iron Man are already in the trailer, so that was a bit spoiled, and War Machine pretty much does nothing (though Rhodes gets a lot more scenes out of his armor and gets to kick some ass out of his armor too so that was good). And don't get excited about the Hulk Buster armour that shows up in the trailer, because that scene in the trailer is pretty much all you see of it in the movie :(

And yes theres a post-credits scene so stick around if thats your thing.

What did you think of the second one Khel?

I thought the second one was good but it was desperately missing a good villain. The russian wrestler was great at the start but fizzled out quickly. I remember the trailers and seeing him chop the car in 2 and I thought nice this villian looks awesome. Then they bring in a competitor who didnt really do much. It was lame ending to both bad dudes.

Mickey Rourke was s***. I also don't like any time Iron Man has to fight someone which is essentially perfectly matched with Iron Man, using the same sort of technology. F*****g stupid. How come John McClane never had to fight someone with Iron Man's suit? See what I'm saying?

So I hope Iron Man 3 is good, but the trailer makes it look all sad and s*** like that crap Spiderman movie where he gives up being Spiderman.... Well then don't call it Spiderman just call the movie "Toby McGuire".

F*** iron man, Dredds where its at. None of this M rated pussy s*** to appeal to kiddies. Just about to start watching dredd, super pumped! Tarantino also knows whats up with his MA movies.

I heard there's a kid in this. How annoying is he? Is he annoying like Jake Lloyd or that kid from Jerry Maguire?

Just watched it myself, f*****g epic!

Kid wasn't annoying at all (and I'm considered a cynic).

Will definitely be adding this to my blue-ray collection when it comes out.

Weakest of the 3 movies, was ok but nothing awesome.

thought it was a great movie, could have used more action though (tony stark in suit kicking arse)...

I saw it in Gold Class on Wednesday. It was great, I liked the twist.

After movie credits bit was a bit lame, well not just a bit. Totally not worth waiting for :/

I thought it a good film to round out the rest.

yeah i wtf'd about the after credits scene - of all the things to put, that was a bit of a filler

but cheez you've got to remember, are they making a movie, or a live action comic book?

Keen to go see this. Also I have a FWB who finds RDJ hot as, so might have to invite her along.

Why wouldnt you? That's what he's for.

Yeah I enjoyed it as a movie,
Spoiler:
It was just misleading with the trailers and such putting the Mandarin as the antagonist of the movie and then throwing the curveball such as they did. Then the ending? How does that roll into Avengers 2, it had Tony Stark will return, not Ironman.

Yeah, I liked that for a change it wasn't totally spoiled by the trailers (even though I think it would have been even more awesome if stuff like all his suits showing up at the end wasn't spoiled in the trailer).

Spoiler:
I liked the way they did the Mandarin cos tbh, from the trailers I was thinking he was going to turn out far too corny and silly and Ben Kingsley seemed like he was really hamming it up. I liked that that turned out to actually be intentional and there was a real reason for it.
