Iron Man 3

[Evildrider]

New trailer is here.  I am sold, that looks pretty fucking badass.   

[SurfD]

Fuck Yeah!! Mandarin!!!!! 

[disKret]

Fuck Yeah!! Mandarin!!!!! 

Yeah! ... but Ben Kingsley?

[DraconianOne]

Yeah! ... but Ben Kingsley?

Umm....wot?

[Lakov_Sanite]

So is this going to be a non-magic mandarin, more of the osama terrorist leader type?

[RhyssaFireheart]

Well, it's possible for them to bring in magical elements since a framework of sorts has been established (the whole Norse God aspect) of things.  But frankly, I rather like the idea of a terrorist-only based enemy because that seems to work better with the Ironman setup.  IMO.  I could be wrong.

And I can't wait for April now. 

[Ironwood]

Scary Iron Man In The Bed Was Scary.

Someone needs to make an ironman "you gonna get raeped" meme

[Lantyssa]

Leave the magic as a backup.  A guy with lots of power that uses mundane means to take down someone like Iron Man is a lot more scary.  Also it leaves some nice trump cards.

Edit:  No, no they don't.

[murdoc]

Please be better than Iron Man 2.

[sickrubik]

Mandarin was always high on technology. The rings weren't technically magic either. They are of alien origin.

New Iron Man 3 trailer.

Man, that just looks soo good.


Oh and wtf, is that a Captain America tattoo on the Mandarin's neck?

Indeed, but with an "anarchy" like A instead of the star.

[Fordel]

That's the outcome I've been waiting for since this whole thing started up. Not just a Iron Man, but an army of Iron Men.

[Ragnoros]

So apparently they liked The Dark Knight. Like, a lot.

Or rather, just cut their trailer to seem a like it. Got some major Joker vibes in Mandarin.

[Surlyboi]

Fuck. Yes.

Well, Mandarin shares a lot of the "BURN THE WORLD" sensibility that joker does. But that's about it, even from that trailer.

[Khaldun]

Really? I'm not even picking up that much. Basically he's coming off more as a highly motivated political villain--an uber-terrorist. Which would retain one part of the character's long-term schtick (aggrandizement of his own power) while dropping the really ridiculous Fu-Manchuism.

Kingsley's accent, though, I can't decide from the trailer whether I think it's awesome or silly.

[murdoc]

Alright, that looks awesome.

[Lakov_Sanite]

For another joker comparison, everyone made fun of his voice in the trailers. It could be silly but it may just need to be listened to in real movie time, I'll give it the benefit of the doubt since there are enough good people behind this movie.

Keep in mind my comment was more geared to your read on him than to Joker. I see no real similarity between them. They both want to fuck shit up, but for very different ends.

[Ironwood]

Seriously, no-one's seen it yet ?

[rk47]

They're tying in the Avengers on this one. One newspaper article mentioned Downey insisted that 'Tony going into another dimension - seeing a bunch of shit - barely making it out should've affected him deeply'

 

[Velorath]

Seriously, no-one's seen it yet ?

In the U.S. we still have another week until it releases.

[Ironwood]

Oh.  Right.

I'll end up seeing this before you ?  How often does that Not happen.

[Velorath]

Oh.  Right.

Avengers was two weeks early for you guys if I remember right, and I think you get Thor 2 early as well. Guess all the Marvel movies will be like that maybe?

[Ironwood]

Odd, but fair enough.  I'll be hitting this on Sunday, I suspect, so I'll throw thoughts down afterwards.  Thoughts which will probably be 'Great Film, when will Paltrow stop pretending she can act ?'

[HaemishM]

I wasn't aware she was even bothering to pretend.

[TheDreamr]

Watched it this morning - our group of 4 loved it, felt a lot more like the first film than the second. My inner geek went squee at one point, usually a good sign.

Also try and stay until the very end of the credits for obligatory hidden scene.

Edit:

Thought Ben Kingsley did a great job, almost stealing the limelight from Downey.

[Teleku]

I just looked at IMBD for the release dates, and Poland is literally the last country on the list, with a May 9th date.   

[proudft]

They forgot Poland.

[Tannhauser]

It just beat The Avengers opening overseas. $198.4 Million.  Almost twice the opening of IM2 overseas.  It's big Jerry!  Big!

I think it's safe to say some of its success is due to riding the coattails of The Avengers, but still this is huge.

[disKret]

They forgot Poland.

Nothing new. Nothing new.

[Mattemeo]

Just like Iron Man surprise-fuckstarted the Marvel Movie Universe and proved that something honestly and truly worthwhile could be made of these characters and keep it going in a (mostly) light-hearted, humourous fashion, so too has Iron Man Three knocked it out the park to start off Phase 2. Shane Black, you are a fucking badass. The character arcs are brilliantly devastating, the character building of faces new to the franchise is deliciously deep and fans will be speculating for ages how things will pan out from this point. Loved it. Easily rivalling the first IM and Avengers. No spoliers from me; just go and see it.

[Xuri]

Saw this myself a couple of hours ago. Liked it, but liked the first one more.
