1) How big is the final set piece/fight compared to avengers? I know avengers is about 25 mins final battle, which was awesome. Does Iron man 3 come close to that? Iron man 2 final set piece is around 13 mins.

2) Just exactly how many suits do we see in the final battle, I know hulkbuster is one, but what about others? With out naming any, can I get a number, like 5 or 10? Thanks.

THANKS! GOD BLESS AMERICA, GOD BLESS IRON MAN LOL!

I'll answer.

1) Finale is lesser than Avengers time wise.
2) What you don't know won't hurt you.

[gorays21]

Ok thanks, god I hope the finale is at least 15 mins, is it? Thanks JMC.

I think you'll enjoy it regardless of length.

Are you going to watch it again??

[gorays21]

Ok thanks, but I have one more question, is there any action during the first 35 mins of movie? Lol thanks.

Yes, but won't get the time until next week. I am curious to see how well it holds up after multiple viewings, I'm suspecting it will coz the story was more engaging to me than the action sequences.

There is action throughout, you won't be disappointed.

In my mind, both.

[gorays21]

One more question, the film starts out with eiffel 65 blue, did that feel like an awkard opening? And do they play the whole song or part of it?

Now you mention it it did feel a bit weird as an opening, I quickly forgot about it however.

[CapedCrusader14]

That used to be my favourite song when I was a little kid.

And it's still ******* cool.

Spoiler!!! Click to Read!:

i may be wrong but it just looked like new york in the post credit teaser to me. fing fang foom easter egg. roxxon oil. oracle - like in iron man 2. an extremis inspired moment (mallen's death)

but nah i didn't catch anything really. i guess i'll wait for the blu ray and my fellow hypesters to spot stuff out lol.

watching it a second time really reinforces how tightly constructed the script is.

it's almost immune to plot hole or "how did x happen" type complaints.

and it isn't even that you just say, "oh, you could infer this" (although sometimes that is true)

it is more that the film succinctly explains everything that is happening, but not in a mundane way (i.e. expository dialogue)

just such a great script, guys.

[psylockolussus]

89% at Rotten Tomatoes!

I saw it last night and i completely agree with this. Awesome stuff!

Just got back from showing here in the Philippines. It's... different. I might have to watch it again in order to better grasp it's nuances. The film cleverly builds-up the standard tropes and then subverts them in the most unexpected ways. I must say that the plane sequence is right up there with the train sequence from Spider-Man 2 in terms of best "hero" moment, and the haters have their panties in a bunch over nothing over "the twist": Ben Kingsley is my hero.

Kamusta rin, pre. Not a fan of the SM theatres. The Ayala chain is where it's at.

Too expensive for me although my gf wants us to try Eastwood cinema since we both work at Eastwood, maybe we'll try there tomorrow.

[irapogi]

The nice thing about SM Cinemas are that they're SURE TO BE DIGITAL. I've seen movies in Rockwell, and Trinoma, and Eastwood, where it turns out to be film. Even if it's new, the quality is just totally different.
