Ironman 3

[Miriel]

I thought it was good.

I liked all the bits with Iron Man and the kid. That was adorable and funny.

I loved Ben Kingsley. LOVED.

I didn't love the storyline with the botanist. It seemed... forced and too vague and wishy washy. I didn't like how they (SPOILER)took out his metal shard thing.

I HATED that they followed up an awesome kickass sequence with Pepper with a line that diminished what she had just done. It's funny because as it was happening I literally was thinking, "Wow, Pepper is on fire! I hope they don't ruin it by making her say or do something that takes away from this." And then BAM! She follows it up with some bulltrout "oh mah goodness gracious, that was so violent!"

It was a small thing, and I'm sure most people didn't notice. But I felt it coming, and sure enough, there it was. Can't have a woman be powerful without reinserting the fact that she is womanly and delicate afterward!

I also thought RDJ was a tad less charming than usual. But maybe that was a conscious choice to show how he was struggling after the Avengers trout went down. Iron Man 1 is hard to beat, since that was a REALLY good movie. This one was fun though.
