good fun.

It would be impossible to top the action levels and buildup of Avengers and its accompanying phase 1 movies, so this movie sensibly opts to duck that target and goes for piles of humour and resetting the clock at ground level, Tony stripped to his bare minimum and some serious Shane Blackisms in the plot. Nevertheless the film takes care to tie in plot elements from phase 1 (trauma, drones, war machine etc). Mandarin was awesomely handled whilst taking a mild swipe at Batman's Raul Ghul villain. Ben Kingsley is a legend.

The weakest parts were when Tony appears to fight 1-1 with bad guys using no armour yet without much difficulty- I would have preferred to have seen him continued to be depicted as a geeky weakling without his tech. A minor point of incongruity there.

I enjoyed the film. I must admit I wasn't blown away though.

I did love the end credits!

Went to see this last night in 3d. What a fantastic film. Think I will have to see it again. 3d effect was really good too.

Saw this yesterday at Cineworld WIQ. Better than the last one but not as good as the first. 6.5/10. RickyRaj says: "Wait for the DVD".

I missed five minutes at the beginning but I didn't hear an explanation about why no other Avengers helped him out. Other than the fact that the challenge in this movie was tony himself, and the villain wasn't all that big.

Went to see this film last night, it was very entertaining and I recommend it if you are a fan of the Marvel series. The only negative thing I would say is that the extra teaser at the end of the credits is not worth waiting the 5-10 minutes for!

Saw it twice on opening weekend here in the US. 1st time early screening on Thurs in 3D and then Sunday in IMAX 3D. Well I am a bit biased because I just love Iron Man but I love it and when I'm home I will see it again if it's still out ver there. I was going slightly crazy that I had to wait longer!!
Peps was sooo cool in this! Cool and yet hot! Heh ;)

Preference of cinemas:- 1. Glasgow Renfield Street Cineworld, 2. Glasgow Showcase, 3. Braehead Odeon, 4. Vue Fort, 5 Glasgow Springfield Quay, 5. any other cinema in Glasgow area including Hamilton
Also Falkirk, Dunfermline and Stirling but these are rarely used for free previews.
