In retrospect when you gauge it as a overall movie its whatever but it's historical significance gives it brownie points. You can't say you weren't fist pumping or giddy seeing all those characters from animation/comics come to life, all together in rich colour, to say otherwise is a boldface lie
I really wasnt. Me and my boys were actually bored as fukk in the theater.

And ive been pretty consistent in my feelings.

First one was classic. Characterization and dynamics were spot on minus rhodey. Roxxon in the background when Iron Monger was shooting the missile made me wish for spiderman, which we're now getting

2 is a fun flick but tony's arc suffered by marvel shoehorning alot of setups, and alot of beats were rehashes of iron-man 1. Felt like a younger brother imitating his older brother's swag instead of finding his own.

They sought to correct that with IM3. In translating the Marvel Universe to film the mechanics have to be right, and while mandarin is an iron man villain, in the comics you can zero in on a solo Iron Man story where he's responding to a Mandarin terrorist attack, and enjoy it without asking wtf cap and shield are doing, or "why this isn't on their radar and why they aren't making guest appearances to help stop this nationwide threat?" As a comic book fan you can ignore that and not be offended by the logic of the Marvel universe and still give the story high marks. In film continuity that kind of logistical inconsistency won't take, film critics are anal retentive and will never let you hear the end of it. So they had to construct the Mandarin in a way where Tony and his supporting cast being the only ones going after him makes complete sense for a film. Given those parameters what they came up with was great, even though a part of me was dissappointed initially lmao.

The first Iron Man is still my absolute favorite MCU movie 'til this day. Iron Man 2 was a clusterfukk with way too many muddled subplots. I love Iron Man 3, I'm not too big a fan of the twist but Shane Black dialog is pure gold and all of Tony's interactions with the kid is still some of the absolute funniest shyt in Marvel movies.



Tony stayed shytting on that kid. :russ:

It gets worse every movie. First was good, 2 was ok. 3 was trash.

Lol at the gripe that Jeff bridges was a weak villain, it's a fukin marvel movie that's kind of their thing. All things considered outside of Robert Redford he's been the best fuk spike I mean loki

I agree entirely. I thoroughly enjoy it, though the end is underwhelming.

Tony going buddy cop, Tony with the kid, Ben Kingsley twist.....all great imo.

I mean, I dont get it lol. I understand having issues with the villains in his movies since they're all of a type and all the inverse of Tony Stark and its a trope that became exhausted but i fukk with it. The 2nd one is a mess though although there are good things in it

2 has always been my favorite one. Never understood why it gets so much hate. :yeshrug:

3 is the one that sucked.
