Why do capeshitters hate this movie again? It's a great action-comedy. Funny, exciting, and by far the most unique feeling MCU film.

It's my favorite Iron Man movie. I realize 1 is probably better, but I like how this one was all about subverting your expectations.
Expecting the Mandarin? Nope!
Expecting an annoying kid the whole movie? Nope!
Expecting the armor to solve every obstacle Tony faces? Nope!
Expecting Iron Man to fight another evil Iron Man suit? Nope!
I really like this movie's Tony and Rhodey dynamic too.

Because muh Mandarin
>>63458677
The Mandarin reveal was gold. Really wish they had the balls to put it in an Avengers movie instead of what is basically an insanely profitable TV movie.
>think the movie is dumb when it first came out for those over the top Mandarin videos
>think why would a terrorist organization waste so much time and money making edgy videos that look like they're some kids MLG youtubes and wouldnt the authorities just track down where they were made and kill them all
>tfw that is literally real life now and what ISIS does so it's a retroactively realistic movie

You're too young to remember Bin Laden I'm guessing.
>>63458677
Yeah, I liked a lot and can't believe when people say it was worse than the 2nd one.
The airplane rescue scene is one of my favorites from the whole MCU.
>>63459065
I'm probably older than you faggot, bin laden's videos were obviously not as over the top, violent and widely viewed in the west

or how about right before when Iron Man uses the repulsor beam to blow a hole through a dude's chest?
this movie has a lot of good moments
>that scene where he tells the kid to fuck off
>"I don't even like working here, they're so weird"
>Adam Pally
>Tony and Rodey bants
>Ben Kingsley
It was definitely the funniest MCU movie
>>63458874
This. The big problem with the movie it wasn't Ben Kingsley as Trevor, he was awesome, but Killian was such a boring villain, if he had some charm the twist would have been more easy to digest to the average moviegoer.

He was hardly in the movie. I think Jon Favreau ended up with about the same amount of screentime.
It was Tony's movie through and through.
