Iron Man 3

Just got back and I loved it.
[spoiler]Saw it in 3D in magic lazy-boy chairs. I really liked what they did with the story. I also enjoyed the villain. Some people said they they didn't get his motivation, but I think it was pretty cool. He wanted to rule the world from the shadows. The Mandarin was a stepping stone for him to get the puppet that he really wanted. He wanted the country and would have had it if the President was killed and his pawn was made president. From there,his control of the war on terror would allow him to make more money and direct the conversation of the world. Using the guise of terror, he would be able to move the work of AIM where he wanted, and right before re-elections, he could discard the Mandarin to secure his control of the president for 8 more years. So, he gets funding for his pet projects, shadow control of the USA, and a means to eliminate his enemies using the terrorist aspect of his plan.

That worked for me. [/spoiler]

[spoiler]The plan was fine, I just didn't see a motive. The villain just didn't feel believable to me without a good reason for what he was doing.[/spoiler]

I can let it go a little because I did really enjoyed the film, and I still think it's better than Iron Man 2.
