Just got back from watching. I mostly enjoyed it! I even didn't mind the twist, in fact, I thought it was a good decision because why would you write what everyone who read the comics has already seen? It seemed to me like a good choice to make on paper because it leaves every viewer -actually- surprised.

The only thing that bugged me was how they played the Mandarin at the start. He was a villain entirely removed from Stark in every way. Tony didn't seem to really care about him at all. And then SUDDENLY once Tony's friend gets caught in a bombing 'its personal'. But, like, the bombing wasnt even meant to target his bodyguard at all. The dude was just there on his own volition. And after that they all act like Tony and the Mandarin actually have anything to do with eachother, and it makes Tony really seem like a jerk because it took someone that he knew personally to motivate him to stop the terrorist that had killed a shitload of other people.
