I enjoyed the movie...but it wasn't stellar.
I actually enjoyed the Kingsley/Mandarin twist.
The whole finale was utter !@#$ though. How the hell does becoming a lava touting whacko make Pepper a trained combat badass all of a sudden? The stupid wink and nod to the whole "I fell 200 feet and don't care, blew up and hey - my tank top is still pristine" bugged me too.
Cheadle, Kingsley and Downey Jr. were great - was disappointed with pretty much all the scenes that didn't focus directly on those characters.
