Whoa man, don't have time to read your whole rant so I'm not going to respond to really any of it. You didn't like Iron Man 3. That's fine, nothing wrong with that, it had some issues, sure. I don't know where you get this idea that some people think it was one of the best films ever made. If there are people out there like that, they're stupid. But I still thought the film was enjoyable, and on the better end of the Marvel films. My opinion of course.
But I wasn't saying that you were wrong for disliking it, I was merely pointing out that it wasn't as by the numbers as you suggested. I don't know whether you really read what wrote or not, so here it is again:
Iron Man 3 certainly had some conventional elements (the main villain and his plot) but I thought the humor and, most of course the twist, certainly kept it from being "one of the most by the numbers superhero movies." Also Tony Stark's usage of his Iron Man suit(s) in the climax was not typical for a superhero film.
Anyway, point is, there was no need for you to go on a rant about how predictable the plot was. I agree it was (for the most part) nothing special. My point was something completely different.
It wasn't a rant as i wasn't mad. I was just explaining in depth why I didn't like the movie and what I think went wrong behind the scenes. I have read alot of behind the scenes stories about the production of movies and Tv shows and this one just felt like it had all the classic earmarks of a movie where the suits stepped in and messed with things on a rushed production.
As for the use of the suits well maybe it was good but stepping out of the film since going in I knew it was the last in the series I was expecting all the suits to be used at once in the climax so it didn't feel surprising to me. In fact it felt a little too much like all they did was take the climax of Iron Man 2 and reverse it by giving Tony control of the suits this time. Maybe that is just me but that is what it felt like watching it for the first time in theaters.
