Hot Toys Movie Masterpiece 1/6 Mandarin Figure

[pturtle]

Shane Black basically gave the Mandarin the same treatment Chris Nolan gave to Ra's Al Ghul, only this time, for some reason, there is much more backlash from the fans.

IMO it was a good twist, but a great waste of the great design the team came up with for the Mandarin/Slattery. That, and the poor showcasing of the Iron Legion (can't they fight during the day instead?? or at least where there're more lights like in IM 2!), I think is my main disappointments with IM 3.

I am sorry but they are not the same, similar? maybe. But it shows how much of a better director Nolan is than Black. They really can’t be compared. First of all Henry Ducard was never Batman’s greatest villain, he was the guy who trained him and with Nolan’s trilogy he keeps the spirit of the characters in tact. Henry Ducard or Ra’s Al Guhl was never promoted the way Ben Kingley’s Mandarin was, Black and most people working at Marvel talking about how great Kinglsey was as the Mandaarin.

Also, the twist while it was shocking, it was more shocking how much of a joke it was, like most of the movie was to be honest. I don’t understand how this movie was liked. Tony Stark thinks Peppor Pots dies at the end, yet he’s still making jokes. Then she comes comes back and learns some kung fu moves.

I love Don Cheadle as an actor but he is seriously miscast as Rhodey. everything that came out of his mouth was cringeworthy. And Tony Stark hanging with the little cute kid who gets bullied, brought a ton of cliches to the film.

Guy Pearce, another great actor, was made one dimensional and talking and acting like almost every bad rich guy I can remember from 90s films. Even with the terrible twist there is a reason people want this Kingley figure more then The real bad guy of this film, and its because he was not an original villain. There was nothing really great about him.

I am also not a big Iron Man guy, so the twist thing doesn’t bother me, but the way the whole movie was treated as a big joke, is what did. This was supposed to be the biggest threat personally for Tony and it never feels like that. Also the big ending action was cool, but all the action before that was whatever to be honest.

I think Iron Man had the best Iron Man action. With him getting out of the cave in the original suit, practical effect. then Going to that village and punching the guy in the air and using his power for the first time, even the last fight I thought was very good.

I think Iron Man 3 was one of the worst superhero movies for sure. I have Iron Man in my top 5 superhero movies of all time as well. After this movie.

I see your points but I still liked it- the angle was more humor oriented and to do so make scarifices on dramatic tension and sense at times. Tony hanging around with kid was cute but was something Stark would not likely do considering his dire situation. The ending was anti-climatic and all the suits showing up and like clockwork doing everything perfect and such was a little too "push button" for me.
However this is nowhere near the worst superhero movie... have you seen Fantastic Four and sequel?

 

[chewdeezy]

Ang Lee's Hulk is the worst super movie of all time.

Iron Man 3 was the weakest of the trilogy but it wasn't that bad, IMO. I loved the suits and the action scenes.

[ApeManRyan]

This really came out fantastic for not being real in the movie. For what scenes he was in acting as a ruthless terrorist. He was pretty bad *** even though not a real villain. Definitely a must buy.

people are still crying over IM3? suck it up and move on

I think I exaggerated haha, I felt it was a much better structured version of the fantastic films. With a good plot.

I love how people start their post saying "I'm not really an Iron Man fan but...." then go on a rant about why IM 3 sucks.

If you aren't a fan and hate the movie why are you here?

Thats when people never grow up and just spend all day crying hoping someone cares jk
I'll get this figure but I'm far more intrested in Killian and Pepper, I need those to die in peace

Or you can just learn to deal with it and ignore posts that offend you.

Just because you don't care that much about a film doesn't mean they have to.

I've been dying for Pepper since the first film. HT has let me down on this front, but I'm holding out hope

 

[ZaCHw117]

this figure stole the show.

 

[Lawrence]

It's certainly up there with figures that impressed at SDCC this year.

I'm so curious as to whether it still impresses without the glasses though.

 

[subzro]

If i get this, i would never display him without the glasses.

Hulk is a great character piece, the only thing wrong with it besides the poodles was it was a Bruce Banner movie more than a Hulk movie. People were expecting HULK SMAH! For two hours and hated the movie because it wasn't that. But for what it in fact was it was good as.

 

[pturtle]

Well I am a movie fan, and I’m talking about the Iron Man movie. I loved the first Iron Man. Would you be happy I speak about that here only because I have good things to say?

I am more of a Marvel guy the a DC guy, but I think the Dark Knight trilogy is the best superhero films ever.

I don’t see anything in the near future able to top those films except maybe X-men Days of Future Past. It has the best assemble of actors ever put in a superhero movie, and has a unique story to set it apart from most superhero films.

With Singer directing I’m excited, I was bit more excited for Vaughn but I still find X-2 to be the best X-men film yet, I like First Class more though.

 

[pturtle]

But while I’m no fan of the movie, I think this figure looks great, and I think Kingsley before the reveal was the only good thing introduced in the film.

If his face looks as good without glasses, I will buy him instantly

While I don't care how they handled Mandarin's character, I totally agree with these points. I mean, he built 35 suits even when suffering from PTSD and insomnia to protect the girl he can't live without and when he sees her die, there's not even a hint of a vengeful expression on his face. And even that was laced with unnecessary humor

I'm not saying I hated the movie but it's not something which I would watch over and over on home video like the previous installments (save for the Iron Legion climax)

But this....

.....is effin marvellous. I'm sold!
