My brother told me before I went to see it that it was "horrible", but I actually thought it was a pretty good movie with a couple of pieces missing and one piece out of place. They definitely didn't amp up the action to an insane degree. In fact, one of my brother's criticisms was that there was too little action, but I thought they had just enough. The whole Flushing bit made the movie for me, hey, I can't resist. But as for my critiques: Sam Rockwell was just plain annoying and weird as Justin Hammer. He spent the whole movie whining about Whiplash's bird. They didn't spend any time whatsoever on the construction of Iron Man's new suit. Rhodey didn't spend any time at all as Iron Man while Tony Stark was out of commission. Other than that, solid B+, bumped up to four stars because of the Flushing connection.
