Please don't do any more Marvel Movies
Ben Kingsley's Mandarin was a far superior villain to Pearce's Killian, and you wasted him on a bad joke. The movie was looking good until "Trevor" was revealed, then it immediately deflated like a big old whoopie cushion. And we end up with yet another superhero flick, where the hero is full of turmoil and trying to save his girlfriend, who we know isn't going to die if she falls because she's been given the extremis. Oh and save The President too, because there were so many reasons to care about him.
Why is it Christmas in a film released in May? That just felt all out of whack. If it's because of the line "It's like Christmas but with more me" you either took it to far, or should have released the film at Christmas time. The music in the first part of the film was also quite lame. Didn't really fit with a guy that's been rockin AC/DC up until now.
I do thank you though for not going full on extremis with Tony's suit being stored inside his bones and all that. That is the most ridiculous thing Marvel has ever allowed to happen to this character.
I guess I didn't catch the Bond references while I was watching, but now reading about it, I have to say that's another really bad idea. This is Iron man, not Bond, mixing the two together is the kind of fantasy you should keep to yourself. There's just no way to do that right...
