After watching Iron Man 3.....

I didn't find Killian annoying. I found him so incredibly generic as a villain, and that I found annoying.

I don't understand the Iron Man 2 hate either. The villains were more compelling, it was closer to the comic canon, the lines were better. I was disappointed that Scarlett Johanssen didn't put on a thicker Russian accent, and had curly shoulder length hair. (Black Widow in the comics was willowy, and had waist long, straight hair.) IM2 obviously didn't match the original, but it was a good Iron Man movie. It shouldn't be lower ranked to IM3.

I can't put my finger on why I found IM3 so unsatisfying than the others. Disappointed how the Mandarin was retconned, but I understand why. I think part of the problem was that the villain was pretty generic. I didn't like the panic attacks either. I found the way the plot and dialogue was constructed, it was more of a relationship film, bleh. I hate force feeding the smurfy kid into a PG-13 movie about violent comic book adults. Tony Stark as Unarmored James Bond was a false note too. It seemed very much like a "Tony Stark grows up" movie, and who wants that???

Even the action sequences bothered me. 13 people able to grab each other and hold their grip during a deceleration bugged me. And there was something unconvincing about the final combat scene; it struck me as too frenetic for the protagonists to keep up with what was going on.

IM3 is about the same as Captain America and Thor. But no way is it better or even on par with IM2.

Marvel are already fixing the horrible Mandarin twist.

IM3 was crap. I left the cinema severely disappointed. It was all over the place and the jokes were not far removed from Michael Bay levels. The amount of drones used was pushing it, Tony himself was hardly in the suit. Iron Patriot was laughable and the Mandarin was super *beep* The lowest point for me was the moment where he screams that he himself is the mandarin. As if that wasn't obvious like about an hour earlier.

Iron Man 2 I never really hated. It was an enjoyable romp and though the plot and climax were kind of weak it used the Black Widow, Nick Fury and Rhodes very well. Hammer was bad, and Vanko was aside from a great Monaco scene quite underused in the action. His character wasn't really developed either. Not as good as the first but I like it, even after multiple viewings. I couldn't sit through the third the second time.

I'd meet you halfway on that. I think Iron Man 3 is better than Iron Man 2, but not as good as the first.

hmm let's see... flying pieces, annoying kid, wizard powers... yeah, iron man 3 was rubbish. but better than superman iv: the quest for peace.

Killian was perfect, so tired of people complaining about him.
It was him, all along, since Obadiah and the cave (you can see the Mandarin symbol on the wall of the cave).

He wasn't just mad cause Tony left him hanging.
That was just the last drop on the bucket.

He was crippled, an outcast, he wanted to perfect himself, intrigue Pepper and capture her as a trophy and wanted to ruin Tony's life all around to show that he's better, and of course, dominate the world creating supply and demand through warfare and selling Tony's own weapons.
Remember how demonized Tony was in Sokovia in AoU? Those shells that hit the twins house...all of Killian's work, consequences of his work.

He was the Mandarin, whether people like it or not.
He just wasn't the obvious asian with black tats, but he had the modern design with the black dragon tattoos on his chest and back and even the power to breathe fire, just like the comics Mandarin, although in the comics he did it by magic and in the movie it's science.
