dont even get me started on Iron Man 3. i ended up kinda hating that flick. Its the only Marvel film i havent bought on Blu Ray yet (i probably will one day, because i'm a completist..).but dayum...that 3rd flick just let me down soOOO much. it was essentially (in my mind) a franchise killer...meaning, after seeing it i didnt want or care to see another Iron Man movie. Thats saying a lot too because Iron Man 1 is STILL one of my ALL TIME favorite flicks. Iron Man 2 did let me down for several reasons (i thought 2's focus should have been on RISE and the SERIOUS fall of Tony stark and his alcaholism...yes i thought it should have gone darker with that especially and not treated it as a punch line) , but yet i still found enough elements in 2 were successful and entertaining and memorable, successful enough for me to want to revisit it occasionally. But 3? 3 was mostly just crap for me. I get mad when i think about it...which is crazy i know, but its true. i get mad and irritated that they screwed up, cheapened what COULD have been a really solid trilogy of flicks had they done a solid job with 3. but nope...ugh...see, you got me pissed off all over again now lol....
