I was reading comments on a review of Iron Man 3, like you do. I'd seen the movie, LOVED IT and wanted to see the nerd reaction.
Fanboys are angry because of the lack of racefail with the Mandarin.
I mean I know I should have known, given their response to everything is; ignore decades of conflicting canon for any given character, in favor of the one true interpretation regardless of how problematic that characterization might be. See also: boob window.
But seriously guys, if you say this movie was terrible and 2 was far superior, you really REALLY need to learn to watch movies critically.
Does it have flaws, yes of course 3 has flaws. But it's got less holes, and fewer offensive bits than the other two, and in a movie where your main villain calls himself the Mandarin" that says a lot.
Also Tony Stark is a motherfucking SCIENCE! ninja. That's just fucking awesome.
