  1. Hmmm. Not sure what I thought of that just yet. Best end credit titles by a mile though.

  2. I'm conflicted. On the one hand it was one of the best, with Tony spending most of his time out of the suit grappling with various threats including his own issues arising out of the events of the Avengers. On the other hand there seemed to be some rather heavy handed attempts to get multiple suits involved, and the set up for Tony's isolation was pretty contrived.

  3. Almost seemed like a Batman film. Killian seemed like a typical Batman villain, and IM even had a junior sidekick.
