Ah yes overcome your fear of failure and anxiety attacks and start afresh by destroying all your suits.
Yes, so when the aliens come back to invade Earth you'll be prepared this time, Stark!
I have mixed emotions about this movie, I was glad they took the third-installment in a much more unique direction to that seen in most comic-book trilogies but such a uniqueness was so unexpected and different that it seemed so out of place tonally compared to the last two movies. I only felt amazed during the climactic battle when all the suits showed up but for the rest of the movie I was lightly-laughing uncomfortably at the joke scenes and was thinking more 'ok where is this going?' in a much more confused way.
I think the best way to describe this film is that it is like a great example of reading a comic book, except done in a motion form. Comic books, unlike many comic-book movies are usually not bound to a hollywood formulaic method of storytelling and guidelines. That being said though, comic books from my experience have their own unique plot-pacing and can contain truly baffling elements of fiction which sometimes can amaze/confuse the readers - which is what exactly this movie did to me.
I don't hate Iron Man 3, but I didn't love it either. I praise it for its bold direction in trying new things, but said things seemed so out of place and inconsistent to the previous two movies. It doesn't hold together well as a film, but holds greatly as a comic-book movie.
I give it a low-Matinee. Worth watching in cinemas.

You've got to remember for Iron Man that The Avengers was a sequel also, and the events of that movie changed a lot.
Having it be to similar to 1 and 2 would've seemed to ignore that.
Would've preferred more of the comic Extremis, but overall enjoyed what they did with it.
Did Tony perfect it to assist with extracting the shrapnel he has needed the Arc for?! Seemed like it.
Shane Black went on record long ago saying he wouldn't include the Mandarin as he saw it as nothing more than a racist Asian caricature, so I was surprised he was included in the film after all, hilarious reveal, I knew something was up with him.

I enjoyed the movie, but one question, was there a scene after the credits that gives us a clue on the next movie? I had to leave as soon as it ended and not sure did I miss anything.

Nah, it was seen with Banner as 'psychiatrist' listening to Tony's narration of the film and events, falling asleep at the very beginning because he isn't that kind of Doctor as he doesn't have the temperament for it LOL
A scene I enjoyed as I thought they might ignore the great friendship between them.

No - to me it was just a "here is an Avenger in the movie"....
It didnt tie up to the next phase yet... but having said that I could be COMPLETELY wrong...

It was for the 'science bros' fans. The two fangirls in our group will attest to that.

Just saw it here in HK.
No different version (i believe the Chinese will get a "china friendly version".
My wife thought it was a good movie, I am a Marvel geek so I was disappointed with the twist re Mandarin.
Some parts were sensational, other parts I felt like I was watching a long TV movie.
Unsure... I will give it 3/5. It was better than 2, but not better than 1.
Issue people will have is with the whole Mandarin part....
