Did you go IM, IM2, Thor, Hulk, Cap? That's the correct phase 1 order, as per a couple retcons/tie-in comics.

The think the whole Iron Man trilogy is pretty good. IM3 is definitely better than IM2. Granted, the villains in both movies kind of suck. But I liked the MCU's take on the Mandarin, who I don't think would work as a villain in this day and age. I like the idea of a serious threat using a paid spokesperson to serve as the largely-unwitting face of their criminal enterprise.

I totally agree that the comic book Mandarin would never work, but it was total bullsh*t that we were lead to believe that they were going to follow up on the 10 Rings terrorist organization from the first movie, only to Rico Swerve us into a lame version of AIM. Complete with no MODOK.

I also can't forgive how ridiculously silly most of the action at the shipping dock was during the big climax. Or the pitiful attempt to make us think Pepper died. Yeah right.
