Cooleyfan1993 Posted May 4, 2013 Share Posted May 4, 2013 This is what I wrote on another forum I frequent. Does anyone here agree with my concerns below?My biggest issue with the film were Tony's actions and dialogue with the boy Harley. Very mean, insensitive, and simply uncalled for. I have never seen an adult talk to a child in such a crude way in real life or on a screen. And the other part that spins off of that is Harley looking for a father figure. Tony completely ignores this and makes fun of the boy even further. ever seen bad santa? there we go... ---------- Post added May-4th-2013 at 06:44 PM ---------- also, saw Ironman 3 last night in 3D with my sister in NYC. LOVED IT!!! i usually fall asleep in action movies if the movie isn't good, but i stayed awake for the ENTIRE movie last night. loved love LOVED it go see it, i promise you will like it.

Burgold Posted May 4, 2013 Share Posted May 4, 2013 I had a pretty good time. It wasn't a GREAT movie, but it was a fun movie that mixed a couple of decent laughs with some decent action and gave the actors a chance to shine. Almost all the stars had a chance to be heroic. I do think that they had a little too much fun making the armor fragile in this movie, but otherwise it was fine for the mood I was in. Glad I skipped this thread until after seeing it.

DM72 Posted May 4, 2013 Share Posted May 4, 2013 ever seen bad santa? there we go. Or The Bad News Bears 1976. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cooleyfan1993 Posted May 4, 2013 Share Posted May 4, 2013 Or The Bad News Bears 1976. yep. also, my brothers view of the movie (he saw it thursday night) is that it was average, and lazy, like a hot girl who just assumes she doesn't have to be interesting because she knows shes hot.

Riggo-toni Posted May 5, 2013 Share Posted May 5, 2013 As someone who liked the first one but thought the sequel was absolute putrid mindless s**t despite having some incredible acting talent, would I like this one? Anyone else who liked the first and hated the sequel seen this yet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Henry Posted May 6, 2013 Share Posted May 6, 2013 Just got back from seeing it. I pretty much agree with the OP's assessment. Not a bad movie. Not the best one of the series. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jumbo Posted May 6, 2013 Share Posted May 6, 2013 I still can't believe I enjoyed it as much as I actually did given those certain issues. I really had been in an outstanding mood! It's so cool when a big cruise ship makes a stop close by on a sunny holiday weekend. :evilg: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skin'emAlive Posted May 6, 2013 Share Posted May 6, 2013 Easily the worst super hero movie ive seen since spiderman 3. I would have walked out, if i could have navigated through the 10 thousand chinese people in the theater. There are so many things i could note, but overall i will say this was the biggest sellout movie i think ive ever seen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StillUnknown Posted May 6, 2013 Share Posted May 6, 2013 Said I would skip it after reading some reviews of people I trust. I saw it today, now I'm wishing I trusted my first instinct. Felt like they left a lot on the table in regards to what it could have been. Its not a terrible movie, but its a lot of "meh". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Riggo-toni Posted May 6, 2013 Share Posted May 6, 2013 Just got back from seeing it. I pretty much agree with the OP's assessment. Not a bad movie. Not the best one of the series. Is it at least better than Iron Man 2? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Henry Posted May 6, 2013 Share Posted May 6, 2013 Is it at least better than Iron Man 2? My initial reaction is no, it's not. But I liked Iron Man 2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GibbsFactor Posted May 6, 2013 Share Posted May 6, 2013 Don't worry guys. On June 14th, you'll see that Steel is stronger than Iron. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCranon21 Posted May 6, 2013 Share Posted May 6, 2013 I actually liked it. Was it better than 2, yes by a hair in my opinion. I'm not sure why some people didn't like it. I think they developed the characters better in this installment than the 2nd one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Btubes18 Posted May 6, 2013 Share Posted May 6, 2013 Agree with most comments. I think my problem was that I had read a few reviews on how IM3 was on par with IM1 and that expectation really is not right. I think if you go into this movie with lower expectations the better. My personal opinion, there was to much Pepper and Iron man was very weak. I didn't like the involvement of the little boy Harley and Don Cheadle was cheezy in my opinion. I would say it's on par with IM2. Special effects are cool. Plot is interesting, but weaker than the other two. I didn't stay for the after credits portion...did I miss anything?

(feel free to PM me) You didnt miss anything...spoiler below It was just Tony on a psychiatrist couch talking about his past. The camera pans over to reveal Bruce Banner who is sleeping. He wakes up and tells Tony he's not that kind of doctor. Tony goes on with his story and Bruce falls asleep again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TMK9973 Posted May 7, 2013 Share Posted May 7, 2013 I am not a huge super hero freak although have enjoyed most of the movies. I REALLY enjoyed IM3. some of the lines cracked me up. VERY entertaining. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spartacus87 Posted May 9, 2013 Share Posted May 9, 2013 Is it at least better than Iron Man 2? Yes. Infinitely so. Iron Man 2 was mainly used as a cash-in sequel to Iron Man and to start ramping up Marvel's "Phase 1" plan for "The Avengers" film. People associated with that movie have come out and basically said as much. I thought Iron Man 3 was the best one in the series, easily so in my opinion, but I also can understand why a lot of people might lean towards the first Iron Man movie as their favorite. Having Shane Black write and direct this one made all the difference. Tony Stark wasn't just a "guy in a suit" like he was in the first two films (and like Captain America called him in The Avengers), Rhodey is actually fleshed out into a worthwhile character, and the villain is a legitimate threat with a real plan, unlike the first two film's bad guys. This also will probably be RDJ's last Iron Man movie, at least for awhile, since Marvel currently has no planned Iron Man films through the rest of their "Phase 2" production schedule and into the beginning of their announced "Phase 3" schedule. Considering though that RDJ made something like 60 million from The Avengers, I'm sure he'll sign back on for The Avengers 2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gortiz Posted May 11, 2013 Share Posted May 11, 2013 Is it at least better than Iron Man 2? Thats what im trying to figure out! I couldnt finish 2 after the DJ scene. So bad. Part 1 set the bar way to high. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
88Comrade2000 Posted May 12, 2013 Share Posted May 12, 2013 As the Marvel movies make more money, it will be getting harder for Marvel and the actors to reach deals???

Gamebreaker Posted May 12, 2013 Share Posted May 12, 2013 He'll appear in any Avengers or maybe small cameos. But he's already expressed that he wants to go do different things, at least when it comes to his own standalone iron man movie. With them ruining certain villains, it reminds me of the villains they ruined while doing Spiderman 3. If that is how things are going to be, I'd rather they not do another Iron Man movie and just let Downey join in the Avengers movies. ---------- Post added May-12th-2013 at 08:27 AM ---------- It was a "meh" movie to me, I was expecting more. Not a bad movie for your average moviegoer, but for someone who's a big comic book fan like I am.....not so much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
