+ Show Spoiler +Yeah but how will he power them without his chest-reactor?

Movie is not good. Everyone else I know agrees. Too much cheese in the movie that destroyed iron man as a cool super hero. Calling his armor from anywhere alone is stupid enough to ruin it.

Too late, wasn't worth the wait indeed  . Well, but the movie was pretty good.

+ Show Spoiler +Well also War Machine doesn't have an electro-magnet/chest-reactor thingy, so I wonder if it is even needed at this point. Seems like everyone can use the suits now if they are correctly calibrated.

I thought the Mandarin twist was the one interesting part of the movie as far as the villains were concerned. Everything else Killian did was just sort of boring, over the top, sort of inexplicable super-villain stuff that could have been copy-pasted to/from any other movie involving a superhero.
The ending bothered me. So hes just going to completely give up his hobby of building super cool robot suits because it inconveniences the chick? Certainly there could be some middle ground?

It takes a certain amount of irony to say that "too much cheese" destroyed a "cool super hero". It is completely impossible to have one without the other...the only thing that matters is how much your suspend your disbelief.

I have a few questions about the film...
+ Show Spoiler +His home was attacked and he was presumed dead. Then he ends up in that Kid's shed. Then we see him driving a car, where did he get this car from?
Also how did he pay for all that gear he bought in that shop before he attacked the Mandarin? Did he use a credit card? How would he have a credit card on him? He wouldn't have had his wallet on his person, cos he was at home working in his lab, and then he was attacked. Wasn't he presumed dead and lying low, so using a credit card would reveal he was alive and his location to the attackers. If he didn't use a credit card, then how did he get the money to buy all that stuff?
I enjoyed the film but the above things just bugged me.

+ Show Spoiler +It's the same car he took after the fight in the town. It probably belong to one of the Extremis soldiers. Most likely Ellen Brandt (the female Extremis assassin). Yes, he was presumed dead according to the newspaper and yet, the people in the town did not react to him coming into the bar despite his poor undercover disguise. As for his funds, for all we know, he probably had a wallet on him the whole time. It's not like he was completely naked. As for his enemies, we do not know nor did the movie established that they were searching for him via network such as phone calls, credit usage, etc.

+ Show Spoiler +I seem to remember him taking the keys from the other guy who was holding the kid hostage, but I don't remember exactly so I might be wrong. It was definitely one of the two, however.

+ Show Spoiler +OK, taking the car from one of the Extremis guys makes sense. He does actually see one of them getting out of their car, while he is handcuffed. This is probably the car he used.

I thought the movie was good. Not great; good. Better than the second film, not as good as the first. There were questionable things, as with pretty much every film to date, but it was a movie that kept me occupied and I enjoyed it overall. I'm not a huge plot monster that calls a movie bad if 1 or 2 things don't make sense, so there isn't much else to say about it.
The part I was pretty intrigued by was + Show Spoiler +..when Stark was in his final fight and he would use his automated ironmen to "loan him parts" when he let go of certain ones during the fight to avoid critical injury/death, so each new part that he obtained he had a little something different. That was pretty neat.

+ Show Spoiler +Yeah but in the first movie the only reason Obadiah Stane struggled for so long to get his Iron Monger armor working was that he and his scientists couldn't get a power reactor to work like Stark's - and that's why he eventually had to steal Tony's reactor. If you can just get an armor to work by charging it with regular batteries and no arc reactor, it kind of defeats that entire plot point. I guess you could somehow reconcile the two by saying there's an integrated arc reactor in the suits now, and the reactor can also be recharged.

I thought it was alright. Not wildly amazing but not bad either, Robert Downey Junior is pretty cool

I think that the mandarin was kinda sucky. In comics he is so much more insaner and they make it out to be like something wicked, then the reveal.

That's exactly what I had presumed. Don't think it's such a big deal, frankly.
