I haven't see it yet but I can't see that being a problem, it's way more acceptable here than it was with say, Bane.

Also the predominately Gold armor was a poor design choice.

>>36930
>the predominately Gold armor was a poor design choice
I think it was to make the armor more recognizable. There's a point where you see multiple armors and it's somewhat important to know it's this one.

Good gosh Gweneth Paltrow looked fit in that sports bra.

Related an an Avengers way I am pretty satisfied with this Ant Man design.

So...was it better than Iron Man 2?

>>36946
I'd say IM1>IM3>IM2.

>>36946
I'd say yes. But not as good as 1.

>>36944
I'd switch the black for Blue since Black looks kinda icky as a texture in HD.

>>36948
Keep wondering if that was Partly because it operated largely as a single entity but now we've gotten to the point were this is a shared comic universe and its only getting bigger. Its a very Impressive feat to try and make a whole Cinematic Universe akin to what DC had/has? with the Animated Universe.

>>36946
Kid A = OK Computer > In Rainbows > The Bends > IM1 >>>>>>>>> IM3 > IM2

Sorry Iron Man 3, some fun times and all, but I can't give you more than a 6 out of 10, I'm afraid. And this largely ignoring comparisons to the comic.

Iron Man 1 > Iron Man 2 > Iron Man 3 in my opinion.

>>36929
i still smirk every time i think of tony using the RC armour to back him up in that argument

It was okay, better then two.
AND THAT MAG LIED!
Also where was >>36944 ?
I missed it.

>>36929
Yeah, that bit was a pretty rough slap in the face.
Over all, I have to say that it didn't quite follow the thematics of the first two films. Good follow up to Avengers, I will give it that, but it didn't have the clean bleeding edge tech feel of the previous movies.
And that was what I associated Iron Man with. Felt a little more like a Hulk movie starring Tony Stark.

>/tv/ reviews Iron Man 3

>>37001
3/10

Trying too hard.

By the way, I'm glad for Iron Man who just got his own theme, but...
>no AC/DC
>no Black Sabbath
Come on, now...

>>37001
...Nah.
/tv/ is all sci fi geeks and hollywood nerds.
Film buffs are a whole 'nother thing.

>>36998
I actually really enjoyed that twist. And in the end, we still have an antagonist who felt closer to a comic book supervillain than the big bads in 1 and 2: Exceptionally intelligent, skilled fighter, weird-ass powers that result from advanced technology, a twisting and nefarious plot for world conquest. Though I didn't really get how he started down the path of that last one...

>>37017
Was it even about world domination? Looked just like warmongering business for me.

The Avengers-Iron-man Vs Nuke scene

So if Pepper had picked up the phone during the rocket ride scene, what do you think Stark would have said to her?

>>37018
Speaking of which, where the Ten Rings also part of Killian's plan or was the part about Madarin being associated with them just another story?

>>37019
Red Dawn

Honestly, movie Mandarin is my second favorit take on it after Gene Khan.
Mostly for being a smart and "fun" twist.
And it is better then say a green satam cartoon villain that yells and points alot or a naked asian chick possessed by a super ghost that get beaten by Tony making her belive in herself or something stupid like that.
Plus I can see "plot gaps" where they can slot in a more classic take.
Maybe the Makluan will show up in Guardians of the Galaxy, who knows.

Also no one said that AIM was shut down, right?
Working on Project M.O.D.O.K. I bet.

I loved Iron Man-Lethal Weapon-James Bond-Jackie Chan.

'Twas fun.

I know mine wasn't the most elegant of performances, but at least I was more useful than the face of the last movie, the Mark V, right guys?

I was pretty cool, right?

>>37027
Better than the suitcase suit, at any rate.

One of the things that ground my gears was that the president didn't face ANYTHING for his dirty business with Roxxon. He didn't step down, apologize, get taken down or punished in any way.
Then again, I always thought about that as something that should happen in a Captain America movie.

>>37025
I got the impression all the remarks about the "big brain" from the holoprojection scene were their way of "including" or homaging M.O.D.O.K..

>>37020
Thinking about it after the movie, I assumed the whole Ten Rings thing ended up as part of A.I.M.'s master plan. What's worse, just a bluff apparently. Specially with Killian's "IT WAS ME ALL ALONG!" line.
Seriously disappointing for me, having the first movie in mind.

>>37029
...Really?

>>37020
I'm very seriously hoping it was set dressing that they ganked to make everything credible.

Just some of the many problems with Iron Man 3:

http://www.slashfilm.com/5-things-that-bothered-me-about-iron-man-3/

>>37035
Alright lets counter point this fuck!
*cracks fingers piano style*
1) Good point! Igor/Hulkbuster should have been bust out of that.
But I guess fucking rubble blocks the signal or more likely they did not want to tip their hand to early, even if they put it in the trailer.
2) Man, I am trying my hardest not to point out how you sound like my mom.
She has a MASSIVE hateboner for that shit.
I dont mind. Just look around yourselfs, tons for products, thats just our world.
Thats why I dont like it when movie set in "our world" dont lets say uses a real video game and instead fake one with cgi. I takes me out, do to nerdness.
3) Again good point, is that not what the fucking visor is for?
4) WAR ECONOMY!
And you get alot of money when you sell both sides and the more powerfull one being okay with that do togiving his dauther a new leg, loved that shot.
But then like alot off super villains he lost his shit when thing did not go as planed.
5) Because pepole got mad at the Hobbit for being to long so they cut out ALOT of stuff may?(fells like that to me)
Stuff that would fix some of your issues.
But no, cant have a 3 hour plus movie now can we?
Hope they make LotR style extra all version.
But that is no excuses for that ending.
No more Burning Pepper? Fuck that, we need more female hero in this, hell we need more female MAIN villains but no, bang, gone, moving on. BAH.
And if the rumors are true, then I am calling that Tony will be the Agent Coulson of Avangers 2.

More a general Marvel note than Iron Man Specific but DC continues to make films that run away from their comic book roots those making Marvel films seem to really like their connections.

>>37047
I'm not getting the connection, but given IM3's twist, Marvel will drop comic book ties too for believability.

>>37047
Are you implying pregnant Gwen?
That would be incredibly, incredibly, INCREDIBLY stupid to use.

...I wouldn't doubt.

>>37052
Dead Gwen, actually.

>>37047

Colors and Location

>>37054
Oh... OH.
sucks to be you, Gwen. Could be even worse though

And now EVERYONE will say their piece.

Interesting times at The Mouse and Marvel

HULK AM SORRY HE NOT SO GOOD AT LISTENING.

I liked it. Tony is the best asshole with a heart of gold ever.

Harley was adorable, more Rhodey and Pepper is always a good thing...I'unno about the whole Mandarin thing Is it even possible to have integrated him how he was in the comics? Did he even have the rings at all?, but it was pretty interesting regardless.

I also really liked seeing Yensin again. I was really fond of him in the first film.

>>37037
I actually didn't figure out what was up with the president, since when I saw the President's daughter my first thought was that he was going to assassinate the president by making his daughter into a bomb, though since that didn't happen I'll go with what you said. What I'm wondering is how they got the vice president.

And hopefully Pepper will turn out to have some residual powers, just without the high risk of spontaneously exploding.

>>37091
>What I'm wondering is how they got the vice president.

That girl was his daughter/granddaughter/etc. He was working for them because if they got extremis working properly, it could grow her leg back.

Marvel Studios are being cheap bastards again:

>The issue going forward is how many of the Avengers stars and starlets are still bound by early agreements and longterm options which Marvel can continue to exploit individually. To counter, I’ve learned the Avengers cast are becoming united behind Robert Downey Jr who is seen as the “leader” – like “a big brother” in the words of one rep - for all the younger actors in the ensemble. “He’s the only guy with real power in this situation. and balls of steel, too. He’s already sent a message that he’s not going to work for a place where they treat his colleagues like shit,” one source explains.

http://www.deadline.com/2013/05/robert-downey-jr-avengers-marvel-negotiations-fight/

RDJ truly is Iron Man.

>>37093
Marvel has had this problem since the beginning as shown with Terrance Howard in their relationship with their cast is utter shit when it comes to contract negotiations especially since they got someone that is really tightfisted in charge from the way some other articles have read. Any of the actors go for taking a portion of the box office or such?

I am not trying to defend Marvel or say that the actors dont' deserve more, but... I find it mind-boggling that a 500K raise is considered a ghastly, ridiculously low, almost insulting proposal.

>>37095
Think of the money the studio will actually make and then figure out what the percentage of that is being offered. Then consider other job offers and the time it takes to make a movie.

>>37096
Yea it made just over 600 Million in the US and around 888 Million in the Foreign Market and that is not even counting Media Sales. so yea considering what goes into their roles 500k is a bit of a short change for a movie that grossed about 1.5 Billion. I do like that RDJ is leading the charge to get them their fair shake in this.

I mean even after Film budgeting that would leave around a billion dollars after Marketing I think, I forget if marketing is averaged as twice or half the cost of production.

>>37094
As much as I love Don Cheadle, seeing Rhodey do cool shit, especially as Iron Patriot, makes me feel sorry for Terrance Howard.

>>37101
Yea finding out you've been fired Not by Marvel NOT by your Agent BUT by an article in the Variety trades is really shit.

>>37054
I told my sister about that story. Poor girl was almost crying.
And she loved Amazing Spider Man so uh.
Huh.

>>37103
thing is how will it be played since its always been kinda a "who shot first" kinda mythos to the event.

Will this show be able to run on Agent Coulson?

>>37116
Probably not, but the cult of personality around Joss Whedon nowadays will guarantee it at least two seasons.

>>37117
Yea the cast behind him, great job Joss going outside your wheelhouse and making people that look just like everything else you do.

>>37116
Hey, there is no asian man in that group aka no http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jimmy_Woo
But thats okay as long it has some of more goofy superhero stuff.
Like A.I.M agents dresses as keeper of radioctive bees.
Now thats an episode, living lazer bees my gods.

So glad this shitty rendition of rendition of Black Sabbath's "Iron Man" wasn't used:

IRON MAN III "CONCEPT TITLES: …

welp that movies tone seems to be going all over the place

>>37138
Tell me about it.

From the artbook by the way.

Talking with some friends after watching the movie for a second time, somebody mentioned that the final fight with Killian was pretty similar to the final fight with Sen. Armstrong in Metal Gear Rising.

If anything that makes it even more awesome.

It really does feel like watching a comic book.

>>37211
Yeah I was thinking that too.
Guess thats another thing some with hate on this movie for.
But not me!
"normal dude" with awesome super power > no powers allowed
Also humans having a "free slot" in the brain for power, I see we are getting the casuals soften up for the Celestials~
Oh boy oh boy~

>>37219
And if you dont know who/what I am talking about this pic will sum it up.

>>37219
...You're excited for that?! Seriously?!

>>37222
What can I say, I like my comic ludicrous.
I still get a bit mad when I hear dude say "Ironman can't fight a magic user in his own movie".
Fuck that noise, give me a guy with magic space rings wearing magic powerarmor and has a pet spave dragon that wear pants and you get all my money!
All 300 kr of them!
I also love that he put his name on the chopper.

>>37222
If the mere thought of seeing those gigantic space gods in all their kirby-esque glory in a live action movie doesn't at least push a button on your inner geek, then I don't know what are you doing posting here.

>>37228
On the other hand, there is ludicrous, and there is plain out shitty. And the Mandarin kinda sucks, no way around it. It's telling that the guy is one of the big arch-enemies in the Marvel universe, and yet they barely ever use him.

>>37229
Sorry, it doesn't. Galactus? Alright. Celestials, on top of being plot-armored massive douches being behind all evolution and shit... just no, man. Too much information.

I could roll with the Guardians of the Galaxy center of operations on a dead Celestial head, but that's it.

>>37231
It's not that he's shitty, they just think he's dated and wouldn't work so well after the end of the Cold War. I haven't read the last times he showed up, there was that annual about his new-retconned history and something about an alternate future, but damn it turned me off from the comics more than anything... but I still think a good writer can make him work. Specially if they can make Iron Man work to begin with.

Kinda sad now we won't get an awesome epic fight between him and Iron Man in the movies because instead we got... whatever that was.

>>37239
Hell, I really enjoyed what Fraction did with him.
I might be in the minority with that though.

I will say, that annual was garbage. The rest of that story arc was great.

>>37239
> Too much information.

They are space gods who created life on earth. How is that too much info?

Honestly as someone who loved Iron Man before the movies (started with backissues of O'Niel's run and the 90s cartoon when I was a kid) I was so excited when I heard about the Ten Rings in 1. I knew what it was building up to.

I like the Mandarin. I think it goods hands he's as good as Dr. Doom or Magneto or the Red Skull. Hell Tony's villains were kind of cool in ArmoreAdventures (I wish the comics used that Whiplash and Blizzard). The yellow menace charge kind of falls flat when Mandarin hasn't been a stereotype in decades. Thats like saying Red Skull is offensive for being a Nazi when he ditched the uniform for a suit and tie in the 80s.

>>37244
Yeah that Blizzard had a great design even if his head was based on a frige.
No wait that make it better.
Its sad what Hammer did to him...
Also was his "real" name used for a hengeman in 3 or not?

>>37245
Actually most of AA's designs are better than their current ones. Except for scrawny dirty Ghost, when I think about it. I loved Blizzard basically using Mr. Freeze's backstory to fuck with Tony. I did hate their version of the Melter though. Especially when the movie game had a cool design.

I know Firepower was in the movie. I think Stane was really the only great villain of the trilogy. Jeff Bridges was fantastic. Kind of wish they stuffed a chessboard in his office as a nice little nod but I was happy with what we got. Vanko wasn't really played up as much as he should have been, Hammer was a joke. As for 3, I don't think the Mandarin was needed since they pulled a Bane with him. Killian really wasn't that great either, considering his motivation.

Oh well. I have to say, ten years ago I'd never believe they'd make an Iron Man movie, let alone that it would launch a universe. It's had its ups and downs and as a fan of the Avengers in general, I'm happy. Plus the movie was at least ok, could have better, but its not the worst thing to happen to the character. That honor would have to go to The Crossing.

So favorite armor?

<My favorite. The artbook stated Thumper was supposed to represent Tony's hard as nails, craftsman side.

>>37247
>Hammer was a joke.
It's not just that he was a joke, it was a joke they repeated over and over, as if they were afraid someone wouldn't get it. That's a fair analogy for the whole movie, actually.

>>37242
See, when you say "Cosmic Entities" or "Space Gods", one can tell they're big shit. You know there's stuff out there beyond human understanding.

When you say "Space Gods who created mankind, also the only reason why there are mutants is why they programmed it to happen", that kinda kills the mystery a bit, messes up the concept of genetic mutation and also removes the chances that things "just happened". Might be a pet peeve of mine, because I simply don't like the concept. Kinda like with Thor, the whole movie could have gone without the "lol our magic is just SCIENCE! way beyond your understanding" and it wouldn't lose anything.

Well damn it's Prometheus all over again.

>>37251

The Mutants should have had their own universe to begin with, lumping them in with Marvel's other superheroes and space gods has marred the whole message of the X stories for decades.

Just saying. First Class did it right.

>>37304
Yea they are the only one that shouldn't be brought into the cinematic fold if they get the rights back. I mean they treat them like separate entities anyway in the comics why not just keep it that way in the movies.

I agree with keeping the X-Men separate too, but for a different reason.

Their cast is so large already. Crossovers work better with characters who have small casts in their universe.

>>37231
I wasn't aware Mandarin purists were even a thing before Iron Man 3.

>>37309
Every character, no matter how lame they are, has a few fans at least. I likehim. The white washing didn't bother me as much. I was happy Mandarin was in. Then that twist came and I wonder why they even bothered adding him

>>37315
Probably so they could actually surprise comic book fans. I read an interview with the writer where he said that, as he sees it, "The Mandarin" is a mantle passed down to various terrorist leaders over many generations, and that, in this case, AIM co-opted the name for their own purposes. So the "real" Mandarin could show up later in the series without conflicting with what had already been shown, he said.

Was the bombing of the Chinese theatre intentional (as in they gave the Extremis soldier a bum dose) or accidental like what some of the Mandarin bombings were?

>>37320
So in essence, they didn't think a damn thing through then.

>>37323
I....fail to see your logic.

The Mandarin is one of the most offensive characters in Marvel just by existing. He represents fear of the "yellow peril" and exoticism of Asian culture.

We're just so damned used to it that it doesn't offend us.

>>37330
Well, not really. He had a bunch of contemporary Cold War villains from Russia which held pretty well later on, too. If Marvel wasted a decent enough concept and specifically avoided keeping a chinese villain around just because he's from China, couldn't that be wrong, too?

Also not sure, but wasn't he a bit reimagined as an unscrupulous business billionaire in the regular comics too?

>>37334
It's not that he's from China, it's that he's basically Fu Manchu, and the Fu Manchu character is more or less the asian equivalent of blackface.
