What's more daring than this Mandarin reveal?

How about an IM movie with no villains at all.

 

[jye4ever]

He has a detox nightmare that Mandarin was this drunk british hippie who leaves stinkers behind in a bathroom while in a room with chicks.

 

[Biojex]

That reminded me of the look Trevor gives Stark, after he tells the girls to get into the bathroom

 

[JAWS]

this is rather simple

IM1 > IM2 > IM3

IM1, IM2, Avengers, Spiderman 1,2,3 and reboot, Fantastic Four 1 and 2, Blade 1 and 2, DareDevil, X-men 1,2,3, and prequel, Cap America, Thor, Hulk the Incredible Hulk, Batman, Batman Returns, Batman Begins, TDK, TDKR, Superman 1 and 2 Hellboy 1 and 2 >>>>>>>> IM3, Superman 3, Batman Forever, Wolverine, Superman Returns >>>> Blade 3, Electra, Superman 4, Batman and Robin.

Biojex said it best.

I won't be trusting any Winter Soldier, Malekith, Loki, Thanos or any other villains on any damn Marvel posters from here on out.

If you really think about, Marvel sure changed things up a bit.

I wonder if WB will be coming out with a MOS poster next week with Joker on it.

Or Sony ASM with 20 villains on the poster.....no wait, that's real, disregard.

Someone needs to do a photoshop with a wormhole replacing the bottle or the helmet.

Nope he had no action other than kicking in a couple of doors whatsoever
Oh he did do a salute so best order a £219 figure just for that one sceen

Actually, he does fire a few shots in the airplane scene. He takes a gun from one of the agents and shoot some people with it. They made the guy use a gun while using the IP armor.

Oh, and the HT figure won't be able to salute because of articulation... so yeah, that's that.

What a complete fiasco.

Alot if not most of the complaints aren't about comic accuracy from stereotypical geeks, but being a generally disapointing movie in and of itself.

It's always the case that people who don't fawn over such films are labeled haters, trolls, or fanboys.

When in fact a lot of folks who aren't sheep are simply sharing criticisms of a disappointing and/or flawed story.

I'll be content if Stark uses one armor in his next outing, and he's in it.

Hot Toys and Hasbro won't.

And especially DISNEY.

I think IM3 confirms that--regardless of the "hands-off" policy Disney publicly claims--that they imposed a lot of demands on this film.

Seems like the Mouse marketers fingerprints were all over it: little fatherless kid, dozens of armors, superpowered Pepper, etc.
Disney execs always want to appeal to all demographics and avoid anything with an edge that might dent the box office.

And by trying to appeal to everyone, they often produce bland & derivative products.

I think they (Disney) are likely what warped this installment into left field.

Same thing that happened with Sony vs. Raimi on Spider-Man 3.

I'm not worried. This could just be another case of the third movie in a superhero franchise sucking.

Why you need to purchase Neca

The sad part is people bought it up this weekend, crappy movie or not, Disney and Marvel are rolling in money and nothing will change.

So we make out point of not everyone who hates the movie are these names by calling people who liked it sheep. Pot meet Kettle

No offense to anyone who hated this movie. I really don't care why or that you hated it. I'm sorry you did but I didn't like it because I'm a sheep. I liked it because I thought it was a good film. If you feel the other way that's fine.

Lol who dat villain, its not villain its an actor pretending to be a villain because the real villain has no motivation for actually being one other then Tony hurt his feelings by not meeting him on the balcony. This was the worst marvel movie since phase 1 started and about on par with blade 3 in terms of continuity with the previous installments. They took a major step backward with this one; I am beginning to really question phase 2.

Hopefully Thor 2 is better but I have a feeling that movie will ignore the other avengers and shield as well. What was the point of building this connected world in every other movie only to ignore it in these new phase 2 films???

Josh, this one actually resembles you.

I can see maybe mentioning them more but in their solo series (comics) they don't usually get help from the other Avengers. This isn't going to be that much different.

U think my ears are that big?

you are sooo adorable.

Yeah, that was precisely my point.

By the 3rd act in a successful franchise, there are often too many chefs helping ruin the stew.

Will you rub my belly?
