Reading the comments section on any of our many Iron Man 3 articles this weekend has shown us one thing:Our readers hate Iron Man 3. Hate it, hate it, hate it.Or else they love it and think it’s the best thing since bread sliced with Wolverine’s own claws and turned into Watchmen toast.In either case, they’re very passionate about it and they’ll do things like making the same negative comment on repeated stories or following “haters” around to correct them that, No Sir, This Movie Is Awesome. Yesterday’s story on the five biggest flaws in the film provoked immediate scolding from fans who felt we were too harsh, too picky or just plain wrong–a half dozen of such comments in a matter of minutes on Facebook alone–but it also almost immediately became one of our most popular stories of the day.For my part, I thought the movie was beautifully-executed and technically great (I gave it a B+)…but I feel no particular need to watch it again and think it will likely suffer with repeat viewings–especially the long, slow chunk in the middle where there’s very little Iron Man and it’s mostly “Tony and His Li’l Buddy Play Internet Detective.” More on that below. Iron Man 3 feels like a movie that’s made for critics, and made for a gargantuan opening weekend (which it’s expected to have) but not necessarily to have the same kind of insane durability and repeat business that The Avengers did for a month.
