So I got back from seeing Iron Man 3 a little bit ago, and outside the cut I can say I really liked it a lot. And it is about 1000x better than the awful mess that was IM2. I mean, I don't even own IM2 on DVD and have no intention of ever owning it, because it's a terrible movie, but I want to see IM3 a bunch more (I won't, because of money, but I'

Yeah, I think Tony depowered her completely, which I would prefer because I like my badass normals to stay normal. Usually.

aw, I dunno. If he just stabilized Extremis, it would mean he wouldn't have to worry so much about her getting kidnapped while he was off with the Avengers or going into space or whatever.

I loved how Shane Black took the last line of the first movie and made it mean something else. Way to tie the trilogy together, dude.

Yes! Such a good way to end Tony's arc, by bringing it back around full circle except having it mean something different.

My question was...did he really need to give the Mandarin-or the press-his address? Who did they think lived there?

Heh. I think that was just grandstanding? But yeah, I mean, it's not like everyone doesn't already know that's Tony Stark's house.

I went to a Thursday night showing, so the audience was hardcore, and still there were like a dozen people who got up and left.

Maybe they really needed the bathroom? That's the only reason I can see to leave before the post-credits scene.

Yeah, as I was leaving the theater, I realized I wasn't quite clear on why he was doing what he was doing, and to what end.

having read some reviews now, I think he was originally trying to cover up that Extemis was still unstable so he could sell it. Like, the soldiers exploding weren't actually attacks - they were accidents, but he was using Trevor/the Mandarin to spin them as terrorist attacks so that he could then convince the govt to buy Extremis or contract out to him and his army of Extremis enhanced operatives? And he'd promised to heal the VP's (grand?)daughter once it was stable, which is why the VP went along with him?

Ahaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa. Well, that's one way to do damage control.
