And it's not being received well either by the Chinese viewers.

I wonder if the members here from Europe, Asia, and Australia are a good sampling of the rest of the markets?  Or are all us dorks, well....dorks regardless of where we live? 

ChadTower:

Why would a movie with a major subplot of complete American dominance of the world do well in China?  That's what Iron Man represents in the second movie.  Iron Man is so invincible he ushers in a "new era of world peace" that pretty much translates to "complete American dominance while the rest of the world is failing to make tin men in caves".


Vigo:
Yep, I'm pretty sure they saw the movie as some rich assface american flying around policing the world. That, and the lack of hot chicks.

From what I read, it's more along the lines of the viewers who went and wanted to enjoy it, couldn't make any sense of the extra scenes that were added.  It's like they added scenes to draw in that market, and the market is telling them that they are bunch of idiots.

I didn't see any Chinese laundries in the film...
