I watched Im2 the other day, and I have to say I enjoyed it more than my last viewing of IM3, I will have to watch both again to be sure, but IM3 may be bottom of the group now.

How? Nobody did anything in that movie. The villains were completely wasted, and honestly the movie really only gets by on the performances of RDJ, Cheadle, Paltrow, and Rockwell.

With IM3 it seemed nobody did much either, Tony didnt change at all, nor did Pepper, Killian was the only one who changed and the Mandarin thing, which I thought worked on 1st viewing, I now view as a mistake. Rhodey/Iron Patriot was just a joke the whole movie and barely got any action. Tony was barely in the suit either. Plus the action wasnt really a big improvement on the rest of the franchise.

He didn't change? I disagree. He went from being 110% dependent on the suits, to being able to function as a human again, while always confirming his place as Iron Man. I still don't see the problem with the Mandarin thing??!? We got the Mandarin, there was no "hey we got the mandarin for you LOL KIDDING here's Killian."
Killian is the Mandarin. There's even an article out there somewhere that proves the comic influences on this. I will agree I wanted more War Machine/Patriot, but here, his role felt natural, unlike IM2 where he was shoe horned in. I'd rather see short bursts of action, with great character moments, that tons of action with little character moments. Now, back to the twist, here's my question for you : Suppose Kingsley wasn't Slattery. He was really the Mandarin. Well, for the third act, what do you do? He has to go toe-to-toe with Stark, otherwise there's no point. He'd essentially take Killian's place at the finale, but that would be god awful. Really glad they didn't give him the rings, plus seeing old Kingsley square off against Downey Jr. Then there's "well what do you do with Aldrich?" This isn't comic Aldrich, who was in like, a panel and then killed himself. This one felt no remorse for what he had to do. |

You say in the movie, Tony was 100% relying on the suits, and yet he barely spent any time in them, so that is a big flaw in the movie. In 3 of the biggest action scene's in the movie he was in the suit for about 5 mins, yet he relies on them? Doesnt fly.

Okay, but he still has to go toe-to-toe with Tony. You don't build up a massive foe, then have him do someone else's work. You simply rule from behind the scenes.
![]() Also, he wasn't in them too much because he was separated from them, and the suit was damaged, you know, when he got shot to Tennessee. I would think of all people you would be fine with a hero not being in the movie for the entirety of it, Ang Lee didn't have the Hulk appear until some 40 minutes+ in. |

Iron Man, Iron Man 3, Iron Man 2 although IM3 is the most entertaining to me.

And with regards to the Hulk, origin movies are different, they need a build-up. And when Hulk did come on screen he was Hulk, not just some suit being remote controlled from miles away with no danger to the hero himself.

Okay one, the Mandarin was the BTS villain AND the physical threat.
"You simply rule from behind the scenes, because the second you give evil a face, you hand the people a target." AKA, I worked behind the scenes, gave someone else the face of evil, while I did things behind the scenes. Also, yes he had no issue calling the suits at the finale...after Mark 42 had been repaired. Would you have rather had the spectacle of all 42 suits in Killian's mansion, or for the finale? |

I can understand Killian didn't have the rings or the look of the classic Mandarin, and this lack iconography burns many fans. But, I think the spirit of the character worked in many ways.

LOL!!! I love it
![]() I think Killian is very underrated around these parts. Which like I said, I can easily see why. But, i think when you strip down the character (and take away the classic iconography we tend to associate with the Mandarin), I feel like Killian works in that role. I'm far more critical of how the chest piece removal was handled than anything concerning Killian.

But back to Killian, I think he's just awesome my only gripe with him is that he should've used his fire breath atleast two more times.

But as for Killian, I love the fight between he and Stark. But, I do think Stark at some point should have tried ranged combat against Killian, and then he gets whacked by fire breath. That would have been cool. The thing I liked most was he felt like someone who was powerful enough to beat Stark. I never got that from Vanko in IM2. Vanko seemed like a nuisance, and Stark was basically fighting himself more than the actual villains. Much like Stane in IM1, Killian felt like a real threat. This is a big reason it is superior to IM2 for me.

Oh and some of those missles IM used in The Avenger and that shoulder blaster he used in IM1 would've been epic.

He should have stayed out of range and used them until he hit. There was no reason to go hand to hand especially in such a fragile suit.

I don't agree with your complaint. The only thing Stark did that was dumb in that scene was where a different armor that was more offense capable. But, at same time, that could have killed Pepper if he wasn't around the Mark 42 at the time so he could attach it to her quickly.
