Iron Man blew me away when I first saw it. Iron Man 2 was good, but not as good as the first. Iron Man 3 was better than Iron Man 2, but not as good as Iron Man or The Avengers movie, in my opinion. Don’t take this as a major criticism, because all of these films are very cool. It’s a relative thing…
The tech didn’t take so much of the center stage during this movie. Don’t get me wrong, there is a lot, but it seemed much more about Tony than the suite. That’s not a bad thing, but the suit is the cool bit for me. There were a few suit-related scenes I would have developed a bit more. Also, it needed some AC/DC during a kick-ass action scene. If they were there I didn’t notice them. 🙁
The end was a bit weak, but stay until right at the end credits to see the extra scene and a little message before you leave…
I’m being extra picky here. It’s definitely cool and worth going to see!

Did you notice the Exadata boxes when he breaks into the broadcast van? Didn’t know local news gathered so much data…
@Sten: Yes. There was a mention of the Oracle Cloud too. 🙂

@ Tim and @ Sten..Nice product placements. Excellent branding idea.
I’m off to see it tomorrow, thanks to some free tickets through Oracle!
Actually, after the not-too-subtle product placement in Iron Man 1, 2, Avengers etc. we should have expected some in Iron Man 3 but given our Exadata box’s temperamental nature even in our datacentre I think that Oracle may have somewhat “jumped the shark” by asking us to believe that one would work in a mobile media van or that it’s power demands could be met…
