Just a convoluted mess of a film. Choosing Shane Black to direct was a terrible idea. A complete castration of a character that took almost ten years and 3 films to build up gone in less then 2 hours. This movie grabbed the character Ironman in mid ascension to the level of a Batman/ superman/ Spiderman notoriety and yanked him back down to Thor and Cap's level. The script was trash, the direction was trash and the mythology got trashed. I Marvel learned from this and moves on. And for anyone that says "but the action was". Go shoot yourself. If your first defense of a movie is about "action" or "effects". You have terrible taste and judgment. And 9/10 times the movie you are trying to defend is dogshit.
