movie Iron Man 3 (Official Thread)

[Weld_El_7aj]

I watched the movie this weekend and I found it to be really entertaining even if it was doubled in Spanish and lost much of the genuine fun. sure it's not the best story of the franchise but it covered it up with more action and jokes which I like in a time where everything needs to be dark of Nolan-ish to be good.

for chat Anaron said, I think the same thing :

Maybe the mandarin was just faking to avoid any responsibility about what happened or the fact of being caought will create the real comic book Mandarin or maybe there is a Mandarin in the dark, but given that he's too powerful with the rings, they decided to not introduce it in IM and leave it to The Avengers 2 as Thanos won't be in it and this was just an introduction.

About the last paragraph, I'm quite sure that the suits are not made from the same material as Capi's shield, they're made of gold and titanium if I recall the firs one when he was designing them. that's why the get damaged.

The Suits are not made out of Vibrainium. lol. If they were, all the damages would be reflected off the armor wouldn't it?

Found the movie enjoyable. During the middle it started to get a bit long winded though.

Don't want to make spoiler tags or give anything away. I enjoyed all the humor in it though. Leave the seriousness to cap america. tony is the fun one.

The only Vibrainium is in Caps shield, they have no more. And I don't think it reflects energy but it absorbs it into itself making it stronger as it collects more.

I kind of enjoyed it but I feel it is the weakest of the three movies :/

- I am not familiar with Iron Man comics but him removing shrapnel in the end kind of ruins the whole Palladium part in IM2. I mean he could've just had it removed instead of building an entirely new material! (similar to the whole eagles mess in LOTR).

The way I understood this was that after he reverse engineered the extremis program from Pepper, Tony also went through the whole extremis program before having the shrapnel removed.

He could not survive that operation without it. I might be wrong though?

Personally I thought Iron Man 3 was the best film so far. It was refreshing for Stark to finally be up against an enemy that wasn't simply another mechanical suit, which is something I thought let down the previous films. I thought the humour was a bit too in-your-face, like it was trying too hard, but overall I thought the pace and development was excellent. It was better than I expected.

PS - The outro sequence (the one before the proper credits) was excellent. It did a great job on summarising the film and the trilogy.

I believe the Suborbital suit "Gemini" is made from it, the materials come from Wakanda

I'm looking forward to seeing it soon. Some very mixed reviews in here, though.

If you know the comic books you will be disappointed or have a bad viewing. If you only know the movies it will be great. All depends on where you are with iron man and the story behind him.

As someone who knows a little of the comics it was a disappointment. But looking at it from the movie universe only it was pretty good, not as good as the first IMO but better than the second.

I know and am a huge fan of the comics. I have to say this movie (up till the end) was absolutely awesome. The Mandarin was brilliant. I mean absolutely BRILLIANT! This could have been the best of the 3. However the ending really didn't go with the rest of the movie. It felt like an alternate ending.

I disliked the Mandarin. I thought it was all wrong. While the movies don't portray the comic books entirely, the whole character portrayal I thought was wrong. I just didn't feel that he was the Mandarin more of a random character that they gave the name to.

To be honest i've lost all interest in super hero movies after the Avengers. I tought the Avengers was a fine summer pop corn movie but nothing more. No problem with that usually. The problem is everyone and their dog told me this was teh b3st movie ev4r period. So since i'm a fan of Whedon tv material i expected the second coming of jesus christ. I was totally disappointed. For me the Avengers was a "good for what it is" but extremely flawed movie like the Tree of life. I enjoyed it but it could have been SO much better (specially the script and the actors playing gods but was not up to the task).

I'll watch it on TV when all the crazy over the top hype will be dead. I'll probably appreciate it more this way. I think this is crazy the hype over marvel super hero movies which are for the most part basically the same story told over and over again. This is close to be as crazy as the hype over Call of Fluffy games (the new ones that have nothing to do with the original). I think one day or another Marvel will burn itself by releasing so much super hero movies with the same awful script. Sorta like the industry did coupld of years ago with Jaws 20 and Friday the 13th 33 ...

I have to agree. I wanted to like it, but they watered him down to such a degree that it was very disappointing...

After what has come before, there is no reason they couldn't have had the Mandarin have the power rings and all that. They had a guy spitting fire! But the power rings were deemed too hokey? LMAO

I think that would have made for a better movie and given them more of an opportunity to use this as a launching off point for Phase 2.

I think they actually forgot that in that same universe they have a guy who comes from another planet and throws lightning like pebbles (Thor), aliens called Chitauri that came through an interdimensional portal and just a bit more grounded, a flying aircraft carrier. I havent seen the film but have read all the spoilers, reviews and commentary and am definitely disappointed how Marvel dropped the ball. And I'm not really a fan of IM in the comics but at least I know this movie doesnt do his character justice.

You're absolutely right. It makes absolutely no sense... lol

How did somebody put it....

What if in batman the joker wasn't really the joker?  This is what happened in ironman....his #1 nemesis wasn't really there, his name was but that was about it.  This seemed more of the extremis storyline and that they gave a really important villan title to a secondary or lesser villan (think Bane in the Batman and Robin movie compared to Bane in the Dark Knight Rises).

[moloko]

I liked it. I thought it was a good twist and added to it. I never followed the comics so this is new.

[sanctified Veteran]

Horrible movie, totally horrible. Tried to do a lot bu never accomplished anything. The interesting subplots (Stark's post-traumatic shock) were executed like a bad Spielberg movie. The other subplots (the annoying kid) were unnecessary. The script was a trainwreck. And the ending was lame.

[sc302 Veteran]

These guys seem to agree with me.

That's a good comparison actually.

It was a huge disappointment. It will do well of course, but it could have actually been a good movie... And that's what is most disappointing to be honest.

I agree

Mandarin was a joke baddie and in more ones then one

Yeah that's pretty much a slap in the face for Iron Man fans.

[Hum]

I enjoyed it -- better story than Star Trek.

Iron Man 3 surprised me -- always a good thing. :)

Totally agree with Sanctified. Any hint of intrigue or emotion was handled so ham-fistedly it hurt!

Thanks to Hi-Def Ninja, we have both the reveal of the Iron Man 3 steelbook edition and an idea of the special features that we should expect to see featured on the disc. It doesn't exactly sounds as if the Blu-ray will be bursting at the seams with hours of special features, but this listing does at least confirm that it will include the Agent Carter One-Shot (starring Hayley Atwell reprising her Captain America: The First Avenger role) and an exclusive preview of Thor: The Dark World. 

 

? Marvel Short Film: Agent Carter 

? Iron Man 3 without mask 

? Analyze the scene: the attack on Air Force One 

? Deleted and extended scenes 

? An exclusive behind the scenes - Thor: The Dark World
