Is this a movie that stands out? Does it leave a Dark Knight esque vibe or is it just a fun movie?
It stands out from the other two, and as far as Marvel films go, I find this to be even better than The Avengers. I'd say it does have a Dark Knight vibe to it, but it is also a fun movie, with a lot of fighting, explosions, and action sequences. It also has humour, emotional content, and a haunted feel whenever Tony suffers from an anxiety attack.
I'm a big fan of it, but I prefer Iron Man 3. More emotional value; I cared about Tony this time around, as his world collapsed. In The Avengers, it's just winning, winning, winning.

It's big alright, but it's nowhere near matching the current record-holder--Deathly Hallows Part 2 opened to $314 million overseas in July 2011. That's impressive.
Don't even get me started... It can't be any clearer what a bullshit cash grab it continues to be... Real movies were meant for 2D, occasional 3D movies for fun are ok but it's getting old when I go to the theater and the showing I want is a 3D one and I would have to wait till late for a 2D one to open... It's stupid.

@James - Watched it yesterday night! It was incredible! Loved how it focussed on the character development of Tony Stark so much, and had a serious, gritting edge to it as well.
Will this be the final Iron Man movie? The ending (and the brief monolgue in the beginning) suggested so to me. Was a bit disappointed with the revelation of the Mandarin though. However, Sir Ben acted brilliantly still.

Just got back, had a blast. Best Iron Man to date by far. Entertaining, action-packed and superbly acted. I must say some stylistic choices and plot devices really took me out of the experience for a bit, but this is a great 8/10 for me.
And I liked the 3D, nothing special, but the mansion attack, the airplane crash and the climax looked very nice. I just paid $5 so i was well worth it.
Iron Man 3 has taken $2.1 million from midnight showings in China to demolish the previous record set by Transformers: Dark of the Moon's explosive $1.9 million debut back in 2011. Internationally, the film is now at $242.1 million.
the line at my local cinema for Iron Man 3 is still so damn long XD I didn't expect that to happen.thought the crowd would die down after the weekend :S

I'd go as far as to say it is Marvel's best yet.
