I was seriously worried that it would be dreadful (Iron Man 2 was a big step down from Iron Man 1, and if #3 had continued the trend and been a step down from 2... yeah), and when I went into the theater and saw the large, annoying poster of a hysterical Pepper clinging to Tony-in-the-armor, I almost turned right back around and went back out again.
But luckily, I didn't. The poster lied, no such "hysterical woman clings to her brave savior" scene is in the movie, and it was actually really good.
The feel of the whole thing reminded me a lot of 70s/Bronze Age Marvel. All it lacked was the classic 70s Iron Man "Tony inexplicably strips his clothes off in front of Rhodey for no reason" scene.*
*My theory is that Tony at that point in the comics was continually trying to seduce an apparently oblivious Rhodey.
