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'

Pepper is his favorite comic-movie girlfriend, and all I've heard about since the preview with Pepper in the Iron Man suit is "omg, PEPPER POTTS IS IRON MAN!" So I am glad it lived up to his expectations.
YES. I had seen the bits with her in the suit and read spoilers to that effect months ago, but I'm SO GLAD of how they did it.
I knew she was going to come back and wreck shit. Because Pepper Potts always comes through in the end to save Tony's butt, because she is the most epic fixer of all the shit ever.)
YES. The Mechanic and the Fixer. <333
And yeah, she doesn't NEED superpowers... but otoh imagining Extremis!Pepper with IronMan!Tony, going around saving people, hunting things, etc, is fucking cool.)
I WOULD PAY A LOT OF MONEY FOR THAT MOVIE.
omg BRUCE. The credits took FOREVER but that tag was worth it. I like that Tony's thought process obviously went like this: "I am fucked up in the head, even more so than usual. I should see a doctor. Hey - I know a doctor! Bruce Banner, get over here!" ( ... )

I still have no coherent thoughts on it, just excited seal claps on occasion.

I mean, I have no idea how well it would work out in the long run since it sounds like it would be a fucking logistical nightmare, but, y'know. Comic book villain! *jazzhands*
As an aside, it was hard to watch that Malibu house get destroyed. I know the exterior was mostly CG, but it was a gorgeous house.
Ugh, yes. I was so happy that they rescued Dummy, though.
I loved that his panic attacks seemed recognizable/realistic (as someone who has had them on occasion) and that he knew he wasn't okay even if he wasn't really doing much about trying to get better....I thought that that was kinda what the whole thing with Bruce was about? I mean, he's going about it in a... less-than-constructive manner, but he does seem to be making a genuine effort to ( ... )

*nod* That's what I gather after reading some reviews that laid it out more clearly.

Me, too, though it honestly never occurred to me that they wouldn't. I was much more worried about Pepper. *hands*
..I thought that that was kinda what the whole thing with Bruce was about? I mean, he's going about it in a... less-than-constructive manner, but he does seem to be making a genuine effort to talk through what happened and what it means and where he is right now.
Sure, but that's all after the fact, and I have a feeling Bruce just said something like, "Wow, you got up to some crazy shit over Christmas, huh?" and Tony was like, "LET ME TELL YOU ALL ABOUT IT. STARTING IN 1999."

I went to see it yesterday and I was gladly surprised when the movie finished and the cinema staff DID NOT turn on the lights during the credits (first time ever in a Marvel movie, seriously). And yet, more than half the people left in the middle of darkness, CMON!

I've never had them turn the lights up, because they know there's a post-credits tag, but someone did announce, "Movie's over folks!" and I don't know if it was staff or some random d-bag moviegoer, but that's when even more people got up to leave.
