Plot so thin, it passes unnoticed.

I really wanted to like this movie. I feel terribly cynical trashing it, and that's why I'm giving it a middling 5. Actually, I'm giving it a 5 because there were some superb performances.

Great example of an old-fashioned, pure-at-heart escapist event movie that doesn't pretend to be anything that it's not and has boat loads of fun being its own ludicrous self.

Mostly, the movie is committed to the value of a good time.

First off, let me just say, that anybody who at the very least disliked the Mandarin twist in Iron Man 3, watch this right now. Not only does it remedy that, but this short is actually confirmed to be canon by Feige.Let's start out with the star of this short, Kingsley's Trevor Slattery. I loved his performance in Iron Man 3 because as the "Mandarin" and as Slattery. He nailed both roles of harrowing villain and bumbling buffoon. And I'm glad he hasn't changed now that he's in Seagate Prison.Thankfully, it is revealed that the Mandarin actually does exist as Killian took it from legend to make Slattery into him. Kingsley can actually play the real Mandarin too, because in Iron Man 3, Slattery said that Killian's men gave him plastic surgery, most likely to make him look like the rumored Mandarin, so that's good news.I also loved the Justin Hammer cameo. Sam Rockwell is an underrated actor (watch Moon), and I like his character in Iron Man 2.+ Mandarin lives!...and can still be played by Kingsley! + Kingsley's Slattery + Hammer cameoFinal Score: 9.3/10

As Trevor was by far the best part and about the only redeeming factor of Iron Man 3, I kind of expected more from this. It wasn't as funny as I thought it would be but Ben Kingsley still played his part well. What was the point of this little short? I'm not really sure. The plot almost seemed like it was a setup for a future movie and this was just a long teaser, but as far as I know nothing has come of it. It was still entertaining but it left you with a cliffhanger. Cliffhangers usually imply that something is coming in the future, this one apparently doesn't have that implication. So it was kind of a fun little video but in the end ultimately unsatisfying.

Drew Pearce is surprisingly good . I was thinking what will they do in this but when I watched it, it was quite nice and surprisingly good . It covers all the parts of Iron Man Trilogy . Now it all makes sense . And it's better than all other Marvel one-shot . In starting a documentary film maker is shown as he is making a documentary on Trevor. Some humors scenes are really good . And in the end you can't imagine what comes and you'll get a little shock . At the end there is a cliff hanger , which i can't really imagine that in which movie they will reveal it. Ending credits also contain some scenes as always in Marvel style . It follows the theme of Dr. No.That's it folks , go and watch it !!

I give it a deserving 9.5*Ben Kingsley returns in this wonderful One-Shot, and he doesn't disappoint. The 'twist' in Iron Man 3 had the fandom divided, some people liking Trevor Slattery and the others hating him, but this One-Shot gives the answer to how the hate was misdirected after all. Before I go let me tell you this wasn't a work of appeasement, or Marvel tracking back their footsteps, though they tease it a little when Trevor says, "Once an actor plays a part for too long he becomes the character...", or something. On the contrary the One-Shot establishes the Ten-Rings connection from the first Iron Man and shows that there is yet more depth to uncover in Iron Man's own side story. TLDR: It's an awesome ride for MCU and Iron Man movie fans, though if you are just a regular movie goer, chances are that you won't get what all the fuss is about.
