Ironman 3 Spoiler/Figures Discussion

[bandito]

Here is a hearsay from the China version of the movie:

Tony's Heart operation is deem too risk with little chance of success. But Dr. Wu (the surgeon Tony met in 1999, that performed the operation at the end of IM3) has confidence that even his daughter (Fan Bing bing) questions....

So Tony's successful heart operation could be due to skill and luck (innovation & planning) and nothing to do with the Extremis virus.

What now? Can't say I follow any of that.

Agreed, the tone in the trailers was vastly different to the tone of the actual movie.



It was kindof a street-smart 'he can take it' thing only time it bugged me was when he called the kid a pu$$y



Weakest cameo out of all Marvel movies imo. ASM was the best.





Reminded me of Transformers, lots going on very fast but hard to focus on anything.



Me neither, it was pointless fanservice for the bromance lovers.





Geeky nerd who adores the protagonist, gets fobbed off by him then builds his own company, looks all swanky and handsome and tries to out-do his former idol.

Not just that but both destroy the hero's suits and kidnap his girlfriend.

Killian is almost a copy beat for beat of Nygma in motivation.

Either way IM3 was pretty good overall, just a dissapointing waste of so much potential

Pretty much read my mind on everything.

ive seen this movie about 5 times now. for me the extremis and the way its used in the movie is my main issue with the "villains" in the book it was basically a chance to rewrite you generic code and wasn't a universal "power" thing across the board.

it was more controlled and contained. it wasn't a "you get really strong and grown things back at the cost of having to maintain your inner heat threshold" it was a specific set of modifications that you had control over but 99.9 percent of the population had no genetic compatibility for.

the whole thing trivialized what extremis was and just made it another super solider serum that had one big side effect. so much lost opportunity just to have generic bad guys run around and do nothing much of anything in the end.

this is one time i wish they kept as close to the source as possible.

 

[SixthScaleEdward]

Is it just me or does the scene where Extremis soldiers rip off a suit remind you guys of Twilight?

 

[Intruder04]

^Please no. I don't want nightmares

 

[Mad Old Lu]

I wonder if HT will make an empty Mark 42 that you can take apart into all the separate pieces and easily snap back together?

I've never seen Twilight, ergo nothing reminds me of Twilight.

Stick to Trevor. You have been warned!

Finally seen this movie. Needless to say, I'm somewhat disappointed. Perhaps I expected another Avengers spectacular. Or perhaps it was just too hard of an act to follow.

Not a fan of the Mandarin twist at all. Felt kinda cheated and lame. Kingsley is a fantastic actor whose talent was not used to his fullest potential. And not fond of Killian and his breed of human torches. Little too much unbelieveable CGI and not very convincing. They also made the "Invincible Iron Men" look like card board kid costumes the way they were ripped to pieces.

Also, too much time building back up to the action during the middle of the film. At times I wanted to yell get on with IM already!

The end battle was cool seeing all of the armors in action. Even though most were only seen briefly. Heck, blink your eye and you would miss one or two completely. And why would HT make the Red Snapper when it was ripped to pieces after a 3-4 seconds? It had no lasting impression at all.

Also, WTH? Pepper the super human? Really? So much for Stark being the hero, eh?

It was cool seeing Ruffalo/Banner at the end credits. But I fear this probably counts as one of Ruffalo's 6 contracted appearances in Marvel films which is a waste.

Overall, the film was okay. I rank it last in the series. The original is still the best. 6/10

I'm now hoping Thor 2 won't fall short like this one did.

i wonder when will IM3 cross a billion

 

[Viking Spawn]

i wonder when will IM3 cross a billion

Definitely this weekend.

 

[SixthScaleEdward]

Let's all watch it again!

 

[PoorCollector]

Yo listen up, here's a story...

 

[Grinch]

I wonder if they're re-thinking selling all those armours they announced, considering their last announcement was kind of a surprise, at least for me (Nicholson's mime Joker)

Not totally following your logic, but I doubt they are reconsidering unless Red Snapper was a total flop or something.

I was thinking that this moment would be the best to announce all their IM figures (yeah, I know IM haters would start to whine) because really, I don't think it's a smart move to announce almost unrecognizable armors two months from now. It's starting to flop already, I doubt the other suits will sell well if not announced with the movie hype...

 

[JonWes]

What is starting to flop already?

I don't think there will be an issue announcing other suits later, especially if they are the more popular ones (Silver Centurion, Gemini, Shotgun.) I think people are building up in their heads that the short amount of time the armors got is equaling lower sales, but that doesn't seem to be the case from what we can see as customers. Red Snapper might be an exception, but that might have more to do with being a PPS versus an MMS. I guess we'll see. I don't really see any reason to be doom and gloom about it yet, though.

It's likely we've seen the last Iron Man film for a LONG time. I see no reason why HT won't continue making armors from this film for a long time in the future should sales warrant. We're just now getting Iron Whiplash soon. And I think some of the films are cool looking enough on their own, that they'd be embraced by a pretty big audience, no matter what some people here might think. It actually makes more sense, to me, to put some time between announcements so people have some time between releases.

 

[Uncanny Web-Slinger]

Just put them all up for order at the same time and move onto the backlog.

The one by one over months with nothing else in between is alienating their other customers
