This IM3 is in line with avengers (tone, action, humour) and the previous IM installments. I look at the complete storyline the crossovers, I emphatic with the assessment if it's view as a standalone (in a way). Also in the grounded real world, a lot of negotiations are still yet to be finalised, right? We know of avengers 2, but I think the studios will, is looking forth to chunk out the other supes movies first. Chill la This post has been edited by koolspyda: Apr 28 2013, 05:44 PM

It all make sense, to me at least. Right from the very beginning of the movie, we know tony was speaking as a 1st person to someone. We assume it's directed to us (the viewers) at the beginning. Mr genius is having PTSD, he probably could just walk straight into a normal civilian clinic to see the psychiatrist. It also opens up to an opportunity to have a light banter between the 2. (after avengers, we know this 2 have a 'thing' together ) Of course it would be in tradition as past movies to have mr nick fury walk in. But it done, that's done, mr shield had recruited his avengers. They expect nick to walk in to ask Tony stark permission to recruit more supes? Or perhaps revealing the idea of going against that other secret secret organisation that has their own membership? No offense guys but come on Mr downey jr is mr tony, he is at his element with narcissistic remarks. Why can't the little brigades see that? I've no problem with the ending credit scene... could be done better.... but what I've problem the the rest of the movie, I had high hopes it'll be good (Biggest Box-office this year) against the even more illogical super-powered Alien from DC... Box-office wise, I suppose it'll reach half a billion... A billion would be difficult

I do know about the little brigadiers (could almost be mistaken as 'shall-not-be-named' filmmaker's fine elfs ) are all gleefully in anticipation of (their) god-like saviour. It suppose to cream all Marv's super super dudes I'm just in for good entertainment. I think IM nailed it. Happy to caught it (twice), don't mind another.

The more you sin the more you win Senior Member 2,867 posts Joined: Jan 2003	» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... « I loved Ben Kingsley's character's revelation! It was well worked out from the filmmakers -- to cast Kingsley, who is used to playing serious and intense roles, as a serious and intense villain only to pull the rug from under the audience halfway through to reveal what an insignificant character (but a total hoot of one) he really was. Shane Black played it well against our expectations. Also loved Black's attempts at daft wit. I really liked the whole part where RDJ works with the kid, and the parting conversation when RDJ was in the Audi, which reminded me of Kiss Kiss Bang Bang, possibly the wittiest and most sarcastic movie I've seen. The narration by Stark seemed like it as also a nod to KKBB... unreliable narrator anyone? It would appear the whole movie as seen by the audience is actually the narration from Tony to Banner in the post credits scene. The narration was heavy-handed which leads me to think perhaps some of the more outlandish stuff that we see were a wink from Stark/Black to the audience? Like that ridiculous fire breathing scene! There was also an obvious concerted effort from the filmmakers to keep RDJ out of the IM suit as much as possible... and to team him up with Rhodes sans suits. Bringing back the Lethal Weapons glory days eh? Despite all the good stuff I can't call this great. It's uneven tonally and quite a mess overall. It feels like a superhero movie combined with James Bond and one of them conspiracy thrillers. Don't quite think the elements came together. And I also didn't like the bad guys with X-Men-ish mutant superpowers. Took me out of the picture, that. Was that ever shown in the trailers?

Lazy to dig up images so some textual info: » Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... « http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mallen_%28comics%29 Due to the mutation that resulted by consuming the Extremis drug, Mallen gained the abilities of superhuman strength, speed (shown to run faster than 200 mph), stamina and durability. He can also exhale a fiery breath, and also has sharp claws and the ability to generate massive electric discharges.

Dont worry, you are one of the few who have an interesting discourse about movies despite difference movie genres. It kinda helps sweep over one syllable brigadiers. It's fine of them after the initial shock after the premier or excitement but when its too often repeated .. (tsk) Dont even start with those overbearing 'ones' whom months before the actual screening uses only single syllable QuickFire has a valid point in regards to the narration. completely in agreement.

They weren't powered by the one on Tony's chest. Regarding Arc Reactors & suits: » Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... « Starting from Mk. VII (7) in Avengers, the suits no longer needs to power from Tony's chest. Mk. 42 is even worst, it apparently runs on rechargeable batteries, it cannot even utilize Tony's ArcReactor when it ran out power, needing charge from power grid or from boat. As great a genius Tony is, he should have know-how to charge his suit with his ArcReactor.... All other suits including Mk. 7 are self-powered, presumed with it's own ArcReactor(s), except for Mk. 42. This post has been edited by BeastX: Apr 28 2013, 07:41 PM
