I thought RDJ was already signed on for more movies? :/ THEY CAN'T STOP HIM NOW. HE'S TOO PERFECT.

Actors do bargain and when something goes more and more successful, there's a chance of it not continuing due to inconsiderate demands made during negotiations. For example, Bryan Singer left X3 to go to "S-man returns" (and we all know how that worked out) and Wolverine and the X-Men was so epic and an off-the-charts hit that unreasonable demands from their from their financing partners. Same thing might happen here.

In less than 12 hours i will have seen IM3... cant wait!!

[Conan-chandesune]

So, I am back. How was IM3 (IMAX style)?? No spoilers here.

Glorious. The plot is nice and shows various sides of Tony Stark. The script is very Whedon-esque i.e. Expect a lot of Light-hearted humor in between the deaths and grisly explosions. It is actually based on a question asked by Cap to Tony in the Avengers. The action is good and the armour fights spectacular. They changed a few things around from the comics (the rascist stuff), which was good. However, if you saw the TV spots, then there's no surprise factor for you. And the deaths seem meaningless with the lighthearted humor around it. The post-credit scene is damn fun. Marvel is such a tease. Also, Tony Stark will return was displayed after the Post credits scene. If had to give it a score out of 10, i would say 9.5/10. (Scaled to The Avengers at 9.9/10 and DK at 9.9/10, TDKR at 9.5/10 and Star Trek at 9.9/10). So that's one movie down. Three more to go. Summer's just starting folks!

So my brother randomly called me up as I was leaving work and asked me to go see Iron Man 3 with him. I said aye. On second viewing, there are some things I appreciate more and something that I think is probably going to be relevant to Thor 2.

Spoiler:

Keep the locations "San Rafael, California" and "Springfield, Missouri" in mind. When looking up heat spikes, Tony focuses on and ignores these two specifically. They had screentime. They cost CGI money. Therefore, there must be some relevant reason for Tony to ignore these specific heat spikes; I don't know how how a Bifrost portal runs, but given that they can go Death Star when focused on for too long, I'm gonna guess they can get pretty hot.

Away from the plot relevance, I cannot express the depths of my love for the moment where Tony tells Mia "please don't tell me there's a twelve-year-old kid in your car that I need to meet" and she responds "He's thirteen, actually". She says she's joking a moment later, but Tony's face in that split second... gold medal, RDJ. I just about died.

I also noticed that that one thug was genuinely credited as "Ponytail Express" in the credits. I also still love "Reluctant AIM guard." Smartest background character in any Marvel film to date, I swear.

I also noticed, this time around, that in Tony's living room before it gets blown up, you can see that he's hung up a stocking for Jarvis. Let me take this moment to tell you about my love for Jarvis. He's just wonderful. He always has some hilarious lines, but he legitimately broke my heart when he was breaking down and had me cheering when he was back in action. All of my love for him controlling thirty-odd Iron Man suits at once and having more than half of them still active to explode at the end. Plus, there is one moment I could happily watch on an endless loop; a particularly snazzy suit in what appears to be black and gold flies up, Jarvis just goes "Gentlemen!" and the suit splits apart to kick multiple asses at once. I can't even. Jarvis, you gentleman BADASS.

I'm still not entirely clear on whether or not Pepper kept her Extremis invincibility at the end. I hope she did. I can just imagine a supervillain trying to kidnap her, thinking she's your standard superhero girlfriend, and then NOPE SUPERHEATED PUNCH RIGHT THROUGH THE HEAD because did you really think you could kidnap Gwenyth Paltrow and get away with it?

I think that's it. I know this one is going to be love it or hate it, but I love it.

The answer to your question at the end of the spoiler box is in the exclusive Chinese scenes. Fan BingBing plays the doctor. So there.

...Could you tell me what's in the exclusive Chinese scenes, or point me to where I can watch them, since I didn't see the movie in China and therefore have no idea what actually happens?

Spoiler:

What i am being told is that the chinese scenes have more footage of Dr.Wu and Chen Lu, as well as their connection with Adrich Killian, which was not there in the English version (We glimpse them briefly only.). Also, more insight on Tony and Pep's operation. The Mandarin will have more (serious) scenes. There will be Easter eggs of Fin Fang Foom and more chinese references. The footage is not out on the net. Expect it to be DVD incentive.

[Conan-chandesune]

@Conan: Huh, that's weird.

I wonder will you find that weird after seeing the movie. What does this tell you? I am the best at what i do, and what i do is very nice (Reading comics and predicting stuff). In this stuff, my default setting is "RIGHT".

[Conan-chandesune]

Are we geared for the Next Marvel Movie??? I'm talking about the Wolverine. Will you watch it??

[Conan-chandesune]

Also, there are only about 5 mins of extra chinese footage. So much for that idea.

[GinRei]

You're already done with Iron Man and moving onto the next thing, when North America won't even get public pre-screenings until tomorrow? Ass.

[Kaito Lady]

I'll watch it, eventually, not right after it comes out

[mangaluva]

I'll watch it because

a) Hugh Jackman is not wearing a shirt in the promo pics

and

b) Origins: Wolverine set a fairly low bar so it'll probably be hard for me not to like this one.

I hope you are joking. If not, then it's kinda pathetic how you think the world revolves around america. I saw it and am done with it NOW.
