I liked it. It was a comic book interpretation. The whole tone of it was brilliant, loved Ben Kingsley, great acting. Glad to see they are quitting this story arc while they're ahead (kinda)

It was a good movie, but I really disliked the Mandarin twist and the light ending. Expected it to be much darker in tone. But hey, there's still Man of Steel coming out sometime in summer so maybe that one will be more to my liking.

I'm going to watch it in a few hours. Really unsure wether I'm going to like it. I don't care that much about the source material when it comes to comicbook movies that aren't meant to be a direct adaptation of a stand-alone book/story like Watchmen (although I have to admit I'm not that familiar with the Marvel comics to begin with) and I just want the movie itself to be good. Too much comedy might be a problem, unless it's really good...

I hated that kid.

[Ghost Lightning]

The kid was kinda funny at first, had good chemistry with RDJ, but he had way too big of a role imho.

[TheRealJayDee]

Okay, that was... interesting. I liked the movie, all in all, but I can see where the criticism comes from.

It definitely felt different than IM1+2, and despite the many nods to the Avengers at times strangely disconnected from the rest of the MCU. I wondered how they would go back to the solo movies post Avengers, and after watching IM3 I still don't quite know. The lack of SHIELD was... disturbing, given the events and persons involved - you'd suspect an organisation like that would be successfully investigating ex-soldiers exploding all around the country and terrorist threats against the president of the USA being broadcast from a mansion in Miami. I hope we'll get an explanation for this in the following movies...

Ah well, the movie. All around solid performances, with my personal highlight being the hilarious Ben Kingsley! I get why folks who care about the comics are pissed off, but for me the decoy Mandarin worked. Not quite sure what the point of Guy Pearce going all "I. AM. THE MANDARIN!" in the end was, and I wished they'd elegantly tied the whole Mandarin thing together with the 10 RIngs they set up in IM1. Hm, somehow every Iron Man movie manages to underuse a favourite actor of mine in a villain role - Bridges, Rockwell, Pearce...

Well, everything about the movie was okay, nothing truly great, but also nothing truly bad. An interesting start for Marvel's Phase 2, and I've always been more intrigued how Thor and Cap will perform in their respective second solo appearance anyways - Thor was my surprise Phase 1 disappointment, while Cap was a rather pleasant surprise.

Argh, I'm rambling without much sense now, I should go to sleep. Final thoughts: 3D made the film worse, as usual, and for some reason I actually didn't hate the kid.

[spirosz]

How was it in 3D? I stay away from 3D adaptions unless the film itself is basing it's development with 3D in mind, not tacked on.

[TheRealJayDee]

I've only seen 1-3 movies so far I thought were better because of 3D, and those were all developed for 3D from the start. IM3's 3D wasn't giving me a headache, but it really didn't make the experience any better imo. Sadly I have to watch every movie that features 3D in that version, cause that's always the only version I get in the original language...

[spirosz]

Oh darn... that sucks.

I find it to be a good movie. I find Iron Man 1 to be the best of the films still, but I did enjoy Iron Man 3.
We should start saying that Iron Man 3 is the best Christmas movie of all time! Lol.

It was. Kinda wondered why the released it in Summer. Maybe the Christmas thing is for DVD/BluRay/Rental sales.

My hopes picked up for Capt. America when I heard it was the same director that filmed Rocketeer.

But, still, I liked having Ben Kingsley as a fake villain, but I agree that Guy Pierce caught a case of the "crazy-evil-itis" at the end, which made his character more flat than it could have been. But I did like the fact that it was just a corporate cover up to make money. That seemed to resonate more with me as a brilliant plan than just random fanatical terrorism. 

The real problem is that Guy Pearce is supposed to be this kind of pathetic loser while pitching AIM in 1999. But, somehow, he becomes this well put toghether mastermind because, apparently, plot, and then is kind of nuts about everything. Like the VPs goal, which is apparently because his daughter (or grandaughter) is an amputee. 

The movie had a lot of fantastic elements that just didn't seem to come toghether in the end for me.

I can buy that. The movies Shane Black has directed in the past DEFINITELY come through here. This is a comic book/super hero Lethal Weapon. And that's not bad, necessarily. But it is different.

There were lots of little threads that were introduced and felt like they should have been featured even more or barely brought into it. And the lack of connectivity to the MCU felt a little weird, as well. The movie almost makes more sense occurring before The Avengers, not after it.

But that might be the problem with giving a huge IP to someone who has only directed Kiss Kiss Bang Bang? If they keep him on for the next one, there is going to be a whole list of things to learn from on this.

[Eterna]

I didn't like it, I thought it was boring. They spent far too much time not focusing on Iron Man, the majority of the movie is Tony Spark screwing around with a kid and having anxiety attacks while trying to uncover a conspiracy. I don't watch Iron Man for it mediocre plot, I watch it to see Iron Man making things explode and this movie let me down. 

Also, soooooo much cheese.

I really enjoyed it, much more than Iron Man 2. Great incorporation of comic arcs and continuity with the Avengers movie, good script, and the Mandarin was done far better than I expected! Ben Kingsley was pretty awesome!

I only really had an issue with AIM, in that it wasn't built up nearly enough. It was referenced, it was in the background, and then suddenly it's all-important! Not bad for a think tank seemingly made up one CEO, one "botanist," a couple of technicians, a dozen thugs, and tons of experiment subjects. And no other contracts, investors/backers, or headquarters, despite the potentials for Extremis and that awesome 3-D holography thing! And what was Maya's motivation over the last 13 years???

So yeah, AIM as a "character" needed the same kind of fleshing out that The Mandarin got through his broadcasts and scenes.

It was all right in 3D. Nothing special.

[Cainhurst Crow]

What made people think that this movie would be a stick close to the source material adaptation movie? I mean, neither of the first two films were, and as to my knowledge, neither was the avenger movie really.

I liked the film myself, and loved the twist because I generally didn't see it coming, and with everything we've seen, or hadn't seen in the film, of the manderian up to the twist, I think it all came together and made sense.

I also liked the villian, mainly because his mannerism never changed despite being revealed and he didn't pull a 180 character personality shift or anything. And I honestly liked that, only because it made me feel he was a villian who was in complete control enough to need no mask for himself.

Also unlike Iron Man 2 and it's stupid hammer plot, this stories evil orginization was actually able to do things that made them seem worthy of being an evil orginization, instead of a barley functioning comedic relief group for russian laserwhips to get his armor.

Well, I liked Iron Man 3, it was funny, light hearted and campy. It felt like a Saturday morning cartoon with a big budget action movie vibe and great actors- Downey, Pearce and Kingsley were great. Sure the Pepper thing at the end was dumb and the Madarin reveal was so out of left field, but it was still fun. I thought it had a lot of charm and heart. And again, it really was quite enjoyable. Not every comic book movie is or can be The Dark Knight in tonality and scope. So it not being darker or sadder is alright with me. However, I do agree with what many people have said about the PTSD arc of the narrative not being fleshed out enough and downright forced. But meh..... It was still a good summer action flick. So, it serves it's purpose.

[AresKeith]

I enjoyed Iron Man 3 but I really did not like the Mandarin plot twist, for me it fell short right after that

Kingsley was the perfect actor to be the Mandarin villain, not some crap that they pulled in the movie

[Druss99]

I found it a bit boring to be honest. It kind of just felt like filler, which I suppose it was for Avengers 2. But still, there was a decided lack of Iron Man action.

Less than Iron Man 2?

Also, whether you find the movie good or bad, you know what they say: "Theatricality and Deception are powerful agents."

By that logic every movie before Avengers 2 is a filler

[Overdosing]

The movie was, for the most part, great, but I'd figure that people would be polarized by the Mandarin incident.

[TheClonesLegacy]

Disappointed by it, it was average at best, definitely the worst of the Iron Man movies

Its actually about how I look at it. Plus the ending rambling is awesome and would go to see that movie.
