there was a moment near during the end where I honestly considered walking out of the theater.. it's.. it's that bad. They did THAT with the mandarin?! and the story?! the time-line?! the plot?! just.. awful! holy crap i never thought i'd say this from a "summer blockbuster" movie but i felt like walking out of the movie it was simply horrid.

when the "twist" happened and I sat there thinking they bastardized the characters.. what is this?! what the bloody hell is going on?! and i'm hoping it picks up but it simply does not.

Plot is non-existent, the characters are dull, boring and lifeless and really the only salvation this movie has if any is the chemistry and rapport between Robert and Gwyneth!

I honestly think they did this movie for one reason and one reason only.. to showcase the "Iron Man Armory" because this is one of the worst "summer blockbuster" movies ever made
