I enjoyed it quite a bit. It had its problems, such as Tony suddenly losing all grasp of common sense the second that the plot needed him to. And Pepper suddenly going from helpless damsel to *spoiler alert* Fireball Wonder Woman. *end spoiler* There were other elements of the plot that had me thinking: "Did they really just do what I thought?" It feels like Shane Black took the script to The Dark Knight Rises, tweaked it a little bit to make it more consistent with the MCU, etc. Even the "clean slate" reference had me thinking "oh, come on!" I'm just thankful that even the new improved Pepper didn't turn into a total Catwoman knock off. That would've been too much.

All that aside, the third Iron Man was what Dark Knight Rises should have been.
