Hear ye hear ye...

Have any of you seen Iron Man? Either of the three? Well, I didn't see any thread with this in it, so I decided to make one.

I have watched 1, 2, & 3 (yes 3 it came out early where we live) story line is cool. Cool effects, the armor and stuff.

I personally like Marvel (More than DC), and its heroes, the X-Men, the Avengers.

And are any of you planning to watch Iron Man 3?

I have seen one and two. I preferred one to two, to be honest. I may go and see three in the cinemas, it's out at the moment; but I can't decide whether to just wait for it to come out on DVD.

Spoilers, man! Now I know the storyline, armor, and effects are cool.

I love the Iron Man movies. I still like 1 over 2 but both are great. I can't wait for 3 to come out.

What country's already got it? the UK?

I'm jealous of wherever you are.

I'm trying to get a group of my theatre kids to go out and see it soon... it doesn't come out until May 3 here. But I'm totally stoked. I love the characters and the story.

First of all, Mopa, I believe that all Marvel Cinematic Universe movies go under "The Avengers", viewtopic.php?f=153&t=5993, but that's okay.

I enjoyed the first movie, thought the second was okay, and find the 3rd (From the trailers, clips, featurettes, and such) to be epic.

I believe that if they don't get a fourth movie, it'll have feel wasted. Let me explain.

Movie franchises: Your first movie is usually the set-up/beginning/finding-your-footing one. The second one is where you have a lot of potential. Iron Man 2 pretty much blew it there. They had a good storyline (For the most part) and excellent special effects, but the lines were iffy.

In my opinion, Iron Man 3 looks like it'll finally explore the full potential of the Iron Man franchise. (Not full potential, but it'll show us more than Iron Man 2 did)

Point conceded.

And to answer your question, I am 80-90% sure the Mandarin will be a better villain than Ivan Vanko.

Well, in the Philippines.


It is epic... * seals mouth*



Iron Man 1 and 2 are considered to be a single Phase 1 (which they call the first movie, where you get to know how they came to be heroes. But in Iron there are 2 movies in one Phase). But the rest like Thor, Captain a, they have only one movie on Phase.

*hopefully going to see three in the coming week*

I was going to take my sister to see it this week, but we've been so busy with different things that it hasn't been possible. I know we won't be able to go tomorrow, so maybe we'll make it next week sometime.

*Reads review* Hmm, not sure what to make of it. I've only heard good reviews of it from my friends up to now, so I guess I'll just have to decide when I finally view it.

Go with what your friends and family say as they know your tastes better.

Who could possibly be a better villain than Sam Rockwell

Although I think 1 was leagues better than 2 overall...

Getting mixed reactions about it... I'll have to see what my brother thinks, he watched it last night apparently.

Just watched three yesterday!

I saw it on Saturday.

*awaits thoughts from Airi that will undoubtedly be substantially longer*

Hehe. You know me well.

I thought it was very, very good.

Yes, it's definitely different from the trailers - bit of a red herring there - but not in a disappointing way.

I really felt for Tony. I've had anxiety attacks. It isn't fun. That being a big part of the film was sort of special to me because of my experience with panic. Also, I think that all the Avengers are long overdue for some psychological results from their adventures...

I really really approve of Tony's genius. We get to see him without the suit a lot of the time - this is him proving that he's a hero without the armour, more so than ever. He's clever many times over. This is what got him into the armour in the first place after all.

I don't know if we'll see an Iron Man 4. Depends on how the Avengers 2 goes. The ending tied off some things but again we'll see.

Agreed. I appreciated all of this in it, especially Tony's vulnerability. He seems to drop a lot of his arrogance, and superiority and becomes a lot more real. I definitely appreciated seeing that side of his character in this movie.

I believe an Iron Man 4 would ruin a good thing. It came to a good clean finish. They shouldn't mess with it. Let him show up in Avengers 2 for kicks, and then leave it alone.

After I saw it, I couldn't help thinking of RDJ in Richard III (years ago I'm assuming - it was a fairly old version with Ian McKellan in it) because he is able to interact on-screen well with children. Harley was a good character.

As far as a fourth movie - I think they could pull it off but I'm hearing hints that maybe RDJ doesn't want to. This kind of role is tough with the suit and all...

I better go see it then, yeah?

Favorite scenes from Iron Man 3: Finally got around to doing this

Rhodey's Password
Harley
Mark-42 ("Prodigal Son" scene)

*Will edit in more later*

Much as I want to see Iron Man 3, I'm just going to wait until it comes out on dvd. That way, I can enjoy it in the comfort of my own home.
