Just been to see it now. Really enjoyable, had a different style to it than the previous instalments but the story and writing was just as enjoyable.
Not gonna mention anything spoilerish. Good to see The Mandarin is a Liverpool fan though. |

I wanted Mandarin to be an Everton fan. Boycotting the film now.

Mixed feelings for this one. On the downside, IM3 doesn't have the 'WOW' factor that the Avengers, Thor, and even Iron Man 1 gave you after leaving the theater. There aren't a lot of memorable dialogues or set pieces.
Having said that, what you will remember is the chemistry between RDJ and the young kid, and every scene with Paltrow. Pepper Potts is literally, hotter than ever before. And of course, all the swerves that occur, especially the one featuring Ben Kingsley. RDJ is still in top form as Tony Stark. IMO, what didn't help the movie was the fact that it comes after The Avengers. It does its job as an Iron Man film, but it really isn't essential viewing as the first phase movies were, all building up to the Avengers. The post-credits scene is a sketch, and in hindsight, feels like a letdown. But, the big question is where does the character and the IM universe go from here? And i can see why Paltrow said that 'there may not be an IM4'. I've never read the comics, so does the end mirror a storyline from there? If so, direct me to it? |

I went to see it today. I was more excited by the 2 minute Star Trek trailer than the whole of the film. Though I always think RDJ is great in the films, I am always kinda disappointed with every other aspect.
Plus, I haven't seen the Avengers film so I don't know what they are talking about in regards to "New York," but that did not necessarily detract from me experiencing the film as a separate entity. |

I had 24hrs to let the movie sink in and I gotta say, I love this movie. It reminds of when I saw Thor in that it just barely feels like a superhero movie. It has the hero, yeah, and the villain with an overly complicated scheme but...
Just keep an open mind fellas, Iron Man 3 is why we watch movies. |

I loved it.
Sort of SPOILER: show It had the unenviable task of following Avengers, but it was every bit as good as any of the Phase I solo films. It might actually be my favorite solo yet. The ending confrontation was obviously not what I went in expecting, but it was every bit as satisfying as the anticipated showdown would have been. Really great work, and RDJ was spectacular as always. |

Loved every bit of the movie and it had throw backs to just about every major Iron Man comic event.

HOOOOOOLY SHIT! IM3 was so enjoyable. There were so many great moments here. The little kid almost stole the movie from right under RDJ. I also loved Pepper Potts for the first time since these movies got made.

How long do we have to wait until we can stop using spoiler tags. I know this film came out in Europe before America, but I saw it almost two weeks ago. Kinda gets annoying having to creep around and be aware of what you're saying.
Maybe there can be some kinda system to these threads? Like, once the movies been released, anywhere in the world, that we can discuss it in this forum, and if you've yet to see it, then just don't go in the thread. Free speech on the internet for 2013! |

Speak freely guys, after official launch it's up to people to see it or avoid the thread.
I will make a formal thread about spoiler etiquette this week because it was something I wanted to address for a while now. Last edited by Kalyx triaD; 05-05-2013 at 07:48 PM. |
