It's a good film, objectively - I enjoyed it but didn't like it. It's a tad long and definitely not the Mandarin I was looking forward too. I REALLY don't get where they're going w/this. Using the Mandarin would have been a good segue into guardians of the galaxy & Thanos.

If they're going to keep the films 'grounded' which was the reason for neutering Mandarin (0stensibly) why involve Thanos/GG at all?

*shrug*

I'm sure they have a plan, but I'm not quite sure how they get there.
