I’ll admit, the big Mandarin twist in Iron Man 3 was fairly amusing. The problem with it was that we were then expected to continue taking the rest of the movie seriously, which is tough when you drop a scene straight out of a Naked Gun movie in the middle of it.
Ah, but enough complaining about Iron Man 3 — like I said, in isolation the Trevor Slattery version of The Mandarin is an interesting character, and Ben Kingsley is always awesome, so I’m looking forward to watching the upcoming Marvel One-Shot about The Mandarin, All Hail The King.
