Ok, I know, I understand where you are coming from.. Here is an opportunity... You hire a accomplished actor, a highly regarded, a Oscar winner previously, a long respected established actor, a veteran so to speak. To play the () arch villian in the movie, a very, very no 1 villian against tony 'iron man' stark. 

Here where they say, that's kinda obvious isn't it? Not that it's wrong. How would the growing market view it, kinda expected? Do they regard or at least could relate more to a veteran or..wait let's put a little perspective here, Guy Pearce, would you say he in his own regard not an accomplished actor too? he younger, hasn't stacked up the list of statuettes of oscar(s) (except golden globe, emmys) but a very very fine actor to whom many in the industry hold much regard. He's not a mere 'extra', not a hillbilly or english-australian dundee.

He's (guy) younger, The appeal would probably likely cut across a larger pool of targeted audience. No, none of us are saying its demeaning of mr kingsley involvement. In fact, myself and some of us appreciated and in fact here is an accomplished actor, a Oscar winner previously, a living legend, twist it from being the stated obvious scenario.

We don't do this much these (twist) days, not the kinda of movies where bruce willis ("i see dead people") and we the audience discovers he was pretty much dead towards the end. Sure it's hard to keep out the secret/twist these days, it not like we are blind to the onslaught of online bombardment. Must all movies need a expected twist or shouldn't it be otherwise?

I don't know about everyone but I think it was noteworthy the producers/studio took the effort to not go forth & dish a typical black and white situation storyline to feed the fans expectations. "Either you are with (the purist) us or you are out", no haggling in between. The canvas storyline must be exactly as depicted in the comic world. I would go toe-to-toe with that situation if the general template is adhered too but bringing it onscreen, serves out different complications. How do you tell a story that we all too are familiar or seen/read before, what makes for something the audience to talk/debate about. 

It's a complicated balance. 

Not really, I do care as much as most audience too with any reasonable exposure to the comics world (pulp) or the very least know of Iron man.



I reiterate, what's iron man if you already know 101 things about iron man.

It's s delicate scenario.



Ok I'm done. Everyone is entitled to like or not like. You bring forth your own argument, it's a movie, it can never please everyone. No movies can. Fan boys may still hold dearest to what they were brought up to. Some will accept the difference (pulp vs screen).

you said something about public acceptance (in a tone of RDJ aka tony stark)


He's cool, he has such an enigma, given he had a troubled drug fuel past, his perspective on stuff, glad that he stuck around.

I'm sure he loves what he does. it's too soon to say there will or will not be IM4. until when there proved to be a challenge ahead (acting wise), I'm sure he has no hesitation, but if the studios are putting forth a commitment of confirming whether there is IM4 is too early and putting undue attention that may stifle the franchise.

I'm sure Avengers2 will be a riot.


for now I'm looking forward to catching ST:into the darkness soon.

eagle eye!

but in reality there will always be 2 sides to the camp. some will find the flimsiest excuse to criticise, others will gloat of a certain movie they like even until carrying the hysteria over to other movie threads.

it's like that
