I'm been a huge Iron Man fan since before most people even heard of him (early 70's) and I loved this movie.

RE: Mandarin - I feel Marvel could still introduce a more traditional 'Mandarin' villian for IM if they want. In fact I was relieved this sudo-terrorist wasn't in fact the 'Mandarin' of the comics.

Otherwise I found the movie highly enjoyable and it really drove home (to me anyway) that it's Tony Stark that makes Iron Man such a great character/hero and not just a supersuit (or army of supersuits). Rhodes/War Machine/Iron Patriot was a great comparison here because despite a comparible armour, he'll never be equal to Tony/Iron Man.

This is now my favorite of the three movies, Ben Kingsley was great in his role, and of course Robert Downey Jr. is always great
