Guest Posted May 5, 2013 Share Posted May 5, 2013 I want to say something regarding the plot twist but idk how to include that clever "spoiler" thing into my post. So I will refrain. But aside from that, I really enjoyed Guy Pearce. The man's like a chameleon. Click show... (spoiler)stuff(/spoiler) Use square brackets instead of parenthesis...

jerseydave77 Posted May 5, 2013 Share Posted May 5, 2013 I need to sit on this one. Feels like a let down but I know it's an above average comic film. Final fight was way disjointed and cut too fast to follow parts of it. moonbeams 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slinch Posted May 5, 2013 Share Posted May 5, 2013 Saw it yesterday, I have to say I was a bit underwhelmed. The first time I looked at RDJs acting and thought "wow, that's bad". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JacobMckinley Posted May 5, 2013 Share Posted May 5, 2013 I feel like this accomplished what the Nolan Bat films were trying to do in a much more organic way. Specifically the notion of the hero needing the alter ego more than those he is protecting do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snaggle Von Swift Posted May 6, 2013 Share Posted May 6, 2013 Saw it this morning (love Sunday morning $5 movies) I thought it blew away Iron Man 2, I enjoyed it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kriss Posted May 6, 2013 Share Posted May 6, 2013 is it me or did it just really not take that much to knock his armor off at any given point? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted May 6, 2013 Share Posted May 6, 2013 i just attributed that to the part where he was on zero sleep- reaction time down, his handy work less than perfect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
futures Posted May 6, 2013 Share Posted May 6, 2013 Click show... (spoiler)stuff(/spoiler) Use square brackets instead of parenthesis... Ooooh, thank you! Ok, what I was going to say before... People are upset at the Mandarin bait & switch, but I think it was a great way to "update" the character and pull the villian from the 60's to the 'foreign terrorists are everywhere' present day. I feel that if Trevor was more than just the face of the Mandarin, people would say "Oh look, another terrorism plot," but instead everyone, including the audience, is under that impression until it's revealed that the terrorist is domestic and so much closer to home (Miami) than anyone would ever think, which is backed by when Tony doesn't believe JARVIS when he says the telecasts were sourced in Miami, not the middle east.

Guest Posted May 6, 2013 Share Posted May 6, 2013 i had no issue with the bait & switch. if anything, i was annoyed that the girl whose name i can't remember from the beginning was working for them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

firefoxUSSR Posted May 6, 2013 Share Posted May 6, 2013 To anyone who thinks ill of RDJr's acting, remember he's just playing himself as Stark. also the line "You know how I knew that? Because we have a connection" was priceless. lonesomexloveus 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

adamlikesmusic Posted May 6, 2013 Share Posted May 6, 2013 I thought it was alright. Better than #2, but still really not all that great. I felt like every detail was spoon-fed to me, and nothing at all really came as much of a surprise. Maybe I'm just expecting too much.

Ghost_Parlour* Posted May 7, 2013 Share Posted May 7, 2013 First Class was awesome. Did you really go into an X-Men movie expecting characters without superpowers? I can see where he's coming from, the movie was just missing something..luckily Brian synger is returning to direct the next one. I think Man of Steel is going to reign supreme this summer.

uniquemel0dy Posted May 7, 2013 Share Posted May 7, 2013 You guys are acting like we we're going to see The Notebook Pt. 2 by saying you weren't taken by surprise by what happened in the movie. What did you expect, Robert Downey to explode into the next dimension live on the movie screen? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jerseydave77 Posted May 7, 2013 Share Posted May 7, 2013 You know what bothered me? It was too cliche. I think we've proven that the superhero movie audience can handle a movie that challenges us as opposed to handing us played out plot points and unveiled commentary. This film is not Superman 4 or Spiderman 3 bad but it also isn't The Dark Knight or even Spider-Man 2. It falls in the range of a C but I'm sure they'll sell tons of toys at Christmas with all those different suits to market. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
