I actually liked the Mandarin twist. I thought it was funny, and the not-so-subtle little piece of political commentary was served on the side without trying to pretend that it would somehow make the movie deep. "The terrorist threat is a scam, the really dangerous guys are the ones using it as a way to grab power. Now laugh at a silly British guy."

I thought it was one of the better parts about the movie actually, and that it fit the general tone of the current Marvel movies well. Then again I've never cared for Mandarin.
