I thought it was better than Iron Man 2, but not as good as Iron Man 1.

Ben Kinglsy was excellent and I liked that there was a bit of a twist in the Mandarin stuff. Though, (SPOILER)as soon as I saw Guy Pierce I knew he was going to be the main villain. Guy Pierce isn't just going to just play some random side character.

One thing that really bugged me was the overuse of the flying armor pieces and armor with nobody inside it. I wished they would have mixed that up a little bit instead of (SPOILER)having that be what saves them every time.
