Ironman 3

Anyone yet watched it? I thought the twists were pretty surprising (warning: contains spoilers)

Spoiler:
-Mandarin(ben kingsley) was a fraud. A paid actor to serve as face for the terrorist act. Never saw that one coming and I still find it hilarious to remember Tony first seeing him face to face.

-Ironman wiped out his armory and having surgery to remove the shrapnel lodged on his heart thereby not relying on that artificial heart anymore and quiting as IM.

-The ending cutscene was bad and pointless

Watching it tomorrow. So not gonna read your spoilers. But what would you rate it out of 10?

Spoiler:
He didn't quit as IM when it clearly says "Tony Stark will be back"

Spoiler:
yeah I assumed he'll be back to but I've read somewhere on the net even Downy jr. isn't sure of IM's future. Plus it'd be really interesting if we get an ironman that doesn't have that chest gadget on him

Oh and as far as I'd rate it, probably 8/10. Easily the most plot-intensive ironman ever. The only downside is the post credit scene.

Spoiler:
Not like he needs that chest gadget to use a suit

he's been doing that for a while now with the current comics.

You might want to put some tags one there bro. Some countries havent still got it yet. Anyway yeah I know that but the thing just seemed so appropriate for his suit's theme.

Whoops

Fixed it up.

Anyway I hope to God the avengers still retain the original cast plus the new ones.

Spoiler:
I feel the Extremis process was wasted on Pepper. Was kinda hoping the recipient would be tony to fight fire with fire, instead we got an amped one-off version of pepper. The least they could have done was let it be with pepper for longer time.

The house party protocol was awesome though

My only advice to people whos gonna watch it, dont stay up for the post ending scene. 100% chance of dissapointment or your money back guarantee.

Spoiler:
That system Stark was using with the headset to control the armour, I remember seeing that in the Ultimate universe

also what did you think of that kid?..........i know some people dislike kids in movies because they're usually annoying, But i found the one that was in this movie was okay

Spoiler:
Yeah I think he's ok. They didn't blew too much of the screen time on his interaction with Stark and he's not annoying.

The fight scenes were ok, the villain's end came a bit out of nowhere but overall it was great. They burned so much mark <insert number> here, the next future Ironman costume versions will be insane. Starting mark 42 something i think. I wish they revive some of them specially that heavy lifting unit

Just got back from seeing it and it was pretty damn awesome.

Spoiler:
I didn't see the Mandarin being an actor thing coming, but that might be because as a comic book fan I was expecting Mandarin to be the big bad he is in the comics, and a throwdown between him and Tony. That being said, it was a pretty interesting move and made Killian an important figure rather than putting him in a similar role that Sam Rockwell played in IM2.

Other thoughts-

Spoiler:
The non armour action scenes were really good, and I can see what they meant with all the talk of back to basics Tony in interviews and stuff.
House Party was great.
Rhodes and Pepper both had moments to shine, which was cool.

But yeah post credits scene was disappointing, was hoping for a Pym introduction

So what did you guys think of the

Spoiler:
Mandarin twist?

I've heard it was a waste of Kingsley's talents and the Mandarin character as a whole. And, while I haven't seen the movie yet, I gotta agree.

It is but he and the twist was hilarious so it's forgiven.

I.. actually liked it.. But probably because I read this comment of yours first so had Zero expectations.

But what would have made it 10 times better in my book would have been if

Spoiler:
it was Hulk sitting there and not Banner

Spoiler:
Well the IM movies haven't exactly been faithful to his comic villains, so wasn't expecting the Actual comic book Mandarin tbh.

But I didn't actually mind the twist. My only complaint is that it was made too "funny." It wasn't something that should be made funny Imo.

[spoiler] They could have given Iron Patriot some proper action. Especially while IM was out of commission for such a big portion of the movie. [spoiler]

Still movie was cool. My rating 7.5/10.

Spoiler:
Well what I noticed is they said Tony Stark will return. Not Iron Man will return. As far as I know Downey's contract is up. But I'm sure he and IM will be back.

Well they have somewhat been faithful, More with the first movie with Iron Monger.

Don't know why people are saying this. It was funny. And in character.

This movie was up there with Green Lantern......the whole plot was lame..

Spoiler:
Mandarin being fake was meh....Tony getting whooped in his own house and having malfunctions with his suit for no reasons ...lame....also why did it take him a shit load of time to realise oh wait i have like 60 armors in the basement yet I want to recharge my total crappy armor,the thermo men taking on the suits and one shoting theme was terrible,Pepper whoopin Killian was horrible......
