To get this out of the way, the movie has great action scenes and good comedy. If you're watching Iron Man for it to be a decent superhero flick, it does that well enough and will keep you entertained. It does however have a lot of weird... errors? I guess, either in continuity between the movies or just strange suspension of disbelief that all bugged me. As mentioned earlier, the Deus Ex Machina could have been called in earlier. There's other situations where we see a single part of an Iron Man suit being damaged so suddenly random functions from other parts seem not to work? The parts of the suit are clearly shown to work independently of each other several times in the movie. There's a scene where Rhodes is in the Lastly, the big one, the movie ends with (not a movie plot spoiler but a character resolution spoiler) Tony Stark having the shrapnel removed via surgery, and this is presented as emerging from a "cocoon," completely ignoring that one of the core points of the character is that the pieces of metal are not removable. To step away from the nerdy attention to detail, the movie is generally good, with cool new suit features, good action scenes, comedy, and an interesting villain. It's pretty much what you'd expect from a sequel to the previous two movies, with a slightly grittier tone than either of them. The theme of "villain with a not-Iron Man suit" theme is broken for the better, and RDJ's representation of Tony Stark continues to be stellar. The movie deserves a 4/5 for delivering well enough on what it tries to be, though it is not the best work out of the genre by any means.
