Ironman 3 (Extremis) (2 Viewers)

[coldseat]

I saw this Tuesday night at a preview screening. Very very good movie. Probably the best of three in my opinion.

Once again, about half the crowd was gone before the additional scene aired.

You would think people would have already learned to stay put for the extra scenes at the end of these Marvel movies.

I'm going Sunday with my son, brother-in-law and nephew. Looking forward to it.

I can't wait, but I'm probably not going tomorrow. LOL. I'd rather catch the weekday price and and early time where there's not as many people there.

Or I should go to the big premiere in the black and gold IM armor...

I wasn't as impressed as a lot of others. Not a bad movie, I thought IM 2 was actually bad, but not on par with the first. I found the way they handled Mandarin to be one of the worst decisions in superhero movie history right behind adding nipples to Batmans costume. I'm shocked Marvel/Disney let them go that route with one of the better Marvel villains.

Ultimately I think Joss Whedon understands and handles the character better than anyone else. One of the things I like about Tony Stark is he's damaged but not in the way this movie presents him.

I do like that they showed a lot of Tony Stark action outside of the suit. That was good. I don't like that for the second movie in a row they show very little action in the suit until the climax. At least the climax in 2 was good. I found this climax lacked punch.

Overall I say see it as part of the Marvel Universe of movies. If it were a standalone film I'd probably say you could skip it.

Three more characters join Daredevil's return to Marvel Studios - Movie News | JoBlo.com more good news for Marvel.

The fight with Whiplash at the end of Iron Man 2 lasted less than 60 seconds. What kind of boss fight is that?

 

[Scorpius the Allfather]

I was disappointed in the movie. Now I had sky high expectations, and there was nothing wrong with the movie, it's just that it didn't reach my expectations. Now I will say that this movie is really funny. 5-10 different scenes that were funny. The action was great. And the after credits scene was funny and great too. I'm going to see it again this Tuesday and I may wind up liking it more. Every time I watch Iron Man 2 I like it more and more, so I'm thinking the same will be true for part 3.

I'm kinda bummed that our baby sitter fell through tonight. I might have to wait until Sunday or Monday to see it..

But I do get to see StarTrek a day before its release (^_^)

I don't know. Just got home from watching it and maybe it's me. I'm normally in an awesome mood, but today I just wasn't. Normally I can do no wrong. My farts smell like pot pourri, and when I whistle, golden dragons come hither. Not today.

The movie had its moments, but I walked away a bit disappointed; however, since I can't put my finger on it, I'll just take the blame and say I rolled out of bed less than awesome this morning. Plus the crowd was lame - I might see it again next weekend for better results.

This.

Shane Black needs to stick to comedies. This film had it's moments, but I left somewhat disappointed and I'm the guy who finds just value in just about every movie he watches. Great action, great comedy, great effects, but this left me feeling like I had been robbed of something.

I am, however looking forward to seeing direction in which the story continues and I am definitely looking forward to Thor and Star Trek...

I'm talking about the entire climax including the drones. Whiplash should have never even been the bad guy (they could have done Crimson Dynamo with almost the exact plot). The both fights with him were lame but the drones battle was pretty cool.

 

[Jackavelli]

Saw all 3. Would rank 1,3,2 in that order. Only one worth paying $ to see was 1.

 

[Optimusaint]

this movie ****** me off. a lot. it suffers from Spiderman 3 syndrome, trying to do too much and mashing up too many comic storylines into one film. plus its pretty much the exact same plotline as Dark Knight Rises.

and what an absolute waste of the Mandarin, and Ben Kingsley. freaking ozzy osbourne.

 

[inetnawlins]

Saw it on Friday. Movie lost all momentum after Ben Kingsley scene. It felt like something was missing.

 

[Sun Wukong]

There seems to be a disparity in acceptance between comic fans and general audiences on this flick due to the Mandarin thing. That didn't bother me much because I've always thought the Mandarin was a garbage character. Over the top Chinese villain stereotype with magic rings? Yawn.

I enjoyed it quite a bit. It was loads better than the awfulness that Iron Man 2. I think it's time for people to accept that these movies are their own continuity with their own rules, plots, and takes on characters. They're no longer beholden directly to what happened in comics, and I'm fine with that.
