Iron Man 3
Yippee! Off to see Iron Man 3 in 3D on Tuesday (cheap date!) Hoping it will be good!

Re: Iron Man 3
I got Iron Man II in the mail today, so hopefully I will be caught up in time to see III this weekend.

Re: Iron Man 3
Saw it Friday evening in a rare night out alone (wife out of town). Watched in 2D, though, as 3D gives this old codger a headache...
Enjoyed it, which is usually a given these days if RDJ is starring. I simply love his great wit and screen presence.

Re: Iron Man 3
I'll catch it on a flight or on TV I'm sure. I, surprisingly, did like both of the prior films in this franchise and as Tantalus has pointed out it's been down to RDJ.
Thor was another which caught me off-guard. Great film aimed at children but appreciated by anyone.
Growing up I was never a Marvel fan but with their crossover into cinema it may seem that as an adult I could be. Is that even anywhere near right?

Re: Iron Man 3
I've got into the Marvel series quite recently as a result of Tumblr peer pressure.
Anyway, I love all the Iron Man movies and went to see Iron Man 3 on the second day it came out, in 3D at the Imax. It was brilliant!

Re: Iron Man 3
I like the new film but not as much as the other two. Don't know if this is a good explanation but to me they have more heart and wit.

Re: Iron Man 3
Saw it tonight with Mr. And Miss and we all really, really enjoyed it. The one liners are great. Some spectacular special effects and stunts too. RDJ is...lovely. (Eek! Now I sound a bit like Molly Hooper).

I know what you mean. Plus, the fact that I didn't feel the bad guy actually had much of a real genuine motive other than "I don't like Tony Stark".

Re: Iron Man 3
I finally got around to seeing it last weekend. 
It was good, but not super amazing. (It'd be better if they casted more Brits! 
)

Re: Iron Man 3
Just saw it on DVD. Loved it. The PTSD was unexpected but very realistic. And Ben Kingsley is hilarious

Re: Iron Man 3
Ben is just great in this isn't he...in a rather scummy, creepy, pathetic way.

Re: Iron Man 3
I just saw the Chinese version & if anybody's interested to know, the main China-only scene that was cut was one that should have been dubbed in English. Prior to Stark's surgery, the Chinese surgeon & his helper (don't know if she's a nurse or doctor) discuss the dangers of said operation. It actually would have made more sense for it to be included in the English version (which felt rushed at the end).
translated that scene basically went:
Nurse: OMG we can't screw up, we gonna kill a hero.
Surgeon: stop panicking
Nurse: but every computer simulation has the patient dying.
surgeon: it's gonna work.
It was a nice scene. For the purposes of inserting Asian actors that Chinese audiences will respond to, it actually helped with the overall plot. Shame they took it out of the English version.
