Well sadly it was only alright. Some good and some bad. The film had some major flaws. Now what I liked was the Plane Rescue that was dope like the commercial. Tony house getting blown up was dope. But my biggest Issue was of course The Madarin Twist. It made the character completely pointless. Also going with the "Extremis" storyline was weak cause that comic came out in 06 only 6 years ago. It basically a new storyline. But the Madarin is to Tony what the Joker is to Batman. So you made him Bin Laden instead of Chinese. Fine, does that mean you take away his 10 rings powers and stuff that he does? The whole movie focused on Tony mind changing cause of the Outer space sh!t he seen. It would of been perfect for Tony and the Madarin to have a final showdown and he uses his 10 Rings to bring a supernatural element that Tony has to face his fears. Also the whole Space element was introduced in Thor and The Avengers. IM3 should of continued off that.
War Machine was completely underused and Don Chedle part was basically a prop, he was in and out of the movie like he had no purpose. The whole Detective Kid thing in Tennessee was weak. He wasn't in his suit enough, this is the 3rd film of the trilogy but I felt the action was lacking as most of the movie again he's not even in his suit. Peppers at the end with powers was WAY Cheesy. Also Shane Black basically turned this into a buddy cop movie. The Lethal Weapon homages were in this too with the fighting on the Boat Dock scene and the whole Tony shooting from a nail gun.
Overall it was just average. Not much better than Part II. You advertise it is as one Big Showdown with Tony and The Maderin but you turn him to a cheesy actor and then make the battle about some lame unappreciated scientist. The Ending Credits scene was pointless and did nothing to hint us of The Avengers. Something is telling me this is the last movie. It's clear RDJ is done with Iron Man after The Avengers 2. Overall it was an average Part III. Just like Spiderman, XMen and several Comic book hero and movie Part III's in general. Making the Maderin an Actor was a weak and lazy plot twist that ruined the character. It's going to do amazing at the box office cause of the Love The Avengers got but the quality of this film isn't as strong as IM1 and only on par with IM2. Overall the Trilogy started out amazing and went completely down hill.
