Iron Man 3, 1, 2 here. But it's close. I loved what they did with Tony's character in 3, and I don't give a crap about the Mandarin (except for how gleefully I cackled in the theater over the utter inversion and inside-out-ening of expectations. So much better than going with the stupid predictable boring original. Your childhood, let me ruin it).
I may be 1 3 2. I’m forgetting now.
I'm 132, but 2 was on when I was stuck in the hospital last year and it was much more enjoyable than I had remembered.
Tony Stark at loose in a Home Depot-type store and single-handedly attacking a terrorist compound is wonderful. I love all the fanfics where people say "But he doesn't have his armor!" and the Avengers are all "He's going to meet us already on his way back, and the bad guys are going to be in a floating prison he just invented." And the common thread of "They pissed him off and then put him in a lab? Boy, are they stupid."
I'm still angry that they ignored everything in IM3 for Ultron.
They ignored EVERYTHING that had happened since Avengers in Ultron. It was so irritating.
True, but the IM parts bothered me the most for some reason.

Exactly! They spend three movies developing the relationship between Tony and Jarvis, including the "Don't leave me, buddy" line, and then Tony replaces Jarvis by sorting through a pile of fancy USB chips?
Not to mention Tony blowing up all the armor then having an army of drones. Grr.
It's like Joss glanced over some basic plot summaries of the solo movies and all he took away was "Oh, Tony doesn't have the arc reactor anymore, that'll make costuming easier."
IM2 has the watch-from-the-hall party scenes. They make sense for the narrative, but they're cringe-inducing.
Whereas IM3 has Tony trying to deal with his PTSD and horrible emotional coping skills. Plus a giant bunny.
(No, I am never going to be over the inclusion of the giant bunny.)
