Most of the movie felt like a middle finger to the fans of the comic books...
- Mandarin "twist" was terrible. For comparison, the Mandarin has appeared in 181 Marvel comics since his creation (Source: Marvel Wikia). Killian has appeared in ... 1 page of 1 issue. Killian's personality was stolen from the Mandarin. - The absolute raping of the Mandarin, Tony's arch-nemesis - The overload on humor/lack of serious. I was rolling my eyes at lame jokes and ruined serious scenes throughout the whole film. - The lack of screen time for the Iron Man suit(s). This is Iron Man 3, NOT Tony Stark 3. - Iron Patriot is an awful character. War Machine is so much more deserving of screen time. I love Rhodey but Iron Patriot was cheesy and ultimately worthless. I hate to be so negative but I've never been more disappointed in a movie in my life. Easily the worst Marvel Studios movie and I've loved everything else (even Iron Man 2 was okay).

Marvel Studios is allowed to do their own thing without interference from Disney. The kid was there because Marvel wanted the kid there. They seem to have a thing for throwaway characters.

Glad to see I wasn't wrong and that only social commentary apologists seem to defend this travesty of a "film". |

I just realized that fans are really going to turn on this one. I did not think that was possible.

I never trust superhero films with a "3" in the title

Too much to get into, people have covered most of the key issues.
Badly executed film with a plot that was just utterly not worthy of a trilogy ending. |

Just getting back now... and I'm not sure about any feelings regarding this movie; I know I didn't hate it, but I'm still in WTF mode right now.

Because it's part of the lore, as is having the shrapnel removed. They don't adapted one story arc. They pick and choose elements from the rich history of the character and condense them into one story. They don't have the luxury of dragging out one story line over a couple of months.

It's HOW they do it which is just flat out rubbish. Surgery, that's all it takes. Well **** Tony, why didn't you do that in IM1 when you arrived back in the US after being kidnapped.

The decoy Mandarin being oblivious to his actions. The reveal felt like something you would see in a parody movie.

How is there going to be an Avengers two when Tony has renounced his chest piece and destroyed all of his suits?

The only thing that stood out as "bad" for me were the lack of Easter eggs, the end credit scene and the "twist". Then again, I also thought that twist was great too. I kind of love it and hate it.

So, who really was in charge of the Ten Rings organization? There was nothing to tie the Mandarin in with the very thing they used to set him up in the franchise starting with the very first scene of the very first movie? That's a giant fricking plot hole.

Maybe the whole thing is what Tony said in the movie when first investigating the name Mandarin, that Mandarin means advisor to the king.
Maybe it's a title. Last edited by TRM; 05-04-2013 at 05:14 AM. |
