Iron Man 3
 

From some talk in other threads it looks like Iron Man 3 is getting some traction. Hopefully it lives up to the hype.

IMDB says Mandarin is the villain.

I know nothing about mandarin, but here is the wiki.

From what I've heard, Stark is going to be completely isolated from the other Avengers throughout the movies' entirety. This excites me, because it will allow the writers to focus completely on Iron Man's storyline and avoid entangling the movie with any of the stories from the rest of the Avengers. (Which was a minor problem in Iron Man 2, in my opinion.)

finally hollywood caves in and lets them use Mandarin.

Iron Patriot is the villain.

Nice shot of all the suits.

Imdb says Mandarin is the villain. Suppose they are doing 2?

pepper potts probably has a bigger role then

Iron Patriot is simply an armor suit like the Iron man suits. It's not a person per say. In the comics, it was worn by Norman Osborn from Spiderman.

So obviously they have some wiggle room with regards to Iron Patriot and the villian...

My guess would be that Iron Patriot is a pseudo ally of Iron Man, to fight Mandarin.

Ugh. I hope not. That story line looks weak.

That would be cool.

No complaints.

She can have a bigger role in my pants party if she'd like...

OOOOH! Am I invented? I'd love to come!

Party in Fish's pants and everyone is coming.

Sorry, we just reached max occupancy... But we'll keep you on file just in case.

Or probably starts out as an antagonist to Iron Man, but joins him in the later stages of the film or something.

What does everyone think about Shane Black directing?

who invented you?

Me and his mom....
We were trying to invent puppies but obviously it didn't work.

‘Iron Man 3′ Brings BACK The Ten Rings!

All hail the Ten Rings!

Inspector Gadget had M.A.D., James Bond has SPECTRE and it would appear that Shane Black’s globe-hopping techno-thriller Iron Man has the TEN RINGS.

One of the cooler Marvel Easter Eggs back from before there even were official Marvel Easter Eggs was that the group of terrorists who captured Tony Stark in the first film were associated somehow with “The Ten Rings,” a wink to comics fans who know that one of Iron Man’s most famous opponents, The Mandarin, had ten magical rings he’d wear that would give him powers. It the Iron Man film universe, The Ten Rings seems to be the name of a terrorist organization. In the first Iron Man, you can see a logo with two cross swords encircled by ten rings on the banner behind Tony when he’s being held for ransom.



In Iron Man 2, a scene was cut (or not filmed) where a man who gave Whiplash fake documentation revealed himself to be an agent of The Ten Rings (this remains in the novelization from what I’m told). Jon Favreau had a great scheme he occasionally mentions to reveal at some point in the Iron Man film future that The Mandarin was behind many of the Stark family’s struggles.

Clay beat you there, bro.

First teaser released today. Only 17 seconds! :cuss:

Yeah, they promised a sneak peek on facebook if folks like their page, and this was the results.

While I am looking for to the movie, this bit of marketing was very douchy of Disney. Could have at least give us a 1:00 minute trailer...something more than 17 seconds.

that's why they call it a "teaser" lol :p

Nah. Teasers often do nothing but show random shots that give absolutely nothing away. They'll release the first full trailer soon enough.

one of these movies needs to have Mandarin as an enemy, or are they keeping all of the supernatural stuff out?

The Mandarin is the main villain in Iron Man 3

Main villain, played by Ben Kinsley, IIRC.

This is a teaser for the teaser LOL

Due out Tuesday

I sure hope this is better than Iron Man 2 and the Avengers.

IM2 was pathetic and I didn't think much of the Avengers. I'm really shocked it did so well.

Wow, what didn't u like about Avengers?

I watched it last night for the first time on Blu-Ray. Maybe I was in the wrong mood.

The dialog, to me, was weak and unconvincing. I thought that Loki was a bad choice and overall, the film felt clunky. The weird camera angles they used at times made no sense, Cobie Smulders was wasted and stiff and outside of Ruffalo and Downey, the actors were boring.

I expected more of an Iron Man 1 or Dark Knight type of movie. Instead, it was like a Michael Bay film but instead of Transformers, the Avengers.

I'll watch it again, if for no other reason that I bought it on Blu Ray with the digital copy, music CD, etc. but it was extremely disappointing to me.

oh, awesome. Now I think I remember hearing that, lol.

Interesting take. The only thing I didn't like is that it wasnt shot wide, so the whole thing felt confined to me. Puzzling decision since all the other Marvel films were shot wide, then they get to the biggest one and shoot it 1:85:1. WTF?

My guess would be that's Whedon's preference. Each director is different; Kubrick hated widescreen, for instance.

It was not even a teaser. I cannot think of a teaser that I ever ran on screen that was less than 30 seconds.

I am sure there will be plenty of marketing and trailers between now and release date.

I know you're like a movie expert kinda guy and all that, but I gotta say, you're nuts. Avengers was pretty much universally liked. 92 rating on Rotten Tomatoes, blah, blah, blah.

See, I thought it worked. I can understand all your gripes, but I think it worked in the context of the story. I didn't have a hard time buying it at all. Cobie Smulders was acting? I didn't notice. She is one fine specimen of a woman.

Wow... I haven't heard many people at all complaining about Avengers. And that's from mostly non-comic book people. I really can't say I agree. I thought it was very well done. Getting that many superhero personalities on screen at the same time is quite a feat, and I thought it worked surprisingly well. The humor was perfect. The superhero nuances were very smartly done, and gave a real tip of the hat to comic book nerds.

I thought Loki was well done as well. They managed to show his evil conniving side, while still leaving a little room for a bit of conscience. They showed a tiny bit of internal struggle with Loki, and I thought it worked.

You were definitely in the wrong mood.
That movie was amazing. Clear your head and see it again.

Ben Kingsley as the Mandarin

The Iron Patriot but not Norman Osborn

I knew my opinion was definitely off the reservation, so I'll give it another shot when time permits.

DAMN

oh yes!

Looks like a lot of shit is going on in this one.

Much different vibe than the other two..

Meh....looks ok i guess. Maybe im just a little Ironman Fatigued out, but i think they should have waited a few years.....

Doesn't the official trailer drop today?

yes

I'll have to catch this later, I'm blocked here at work.

I'm scouring the web. Half of the sites are blocked. I just need an embedded version of the trailer that isn't on iTunes or Youtube.

Damnit man!

Try this one



http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/hea...trailer-381487

Looks like a Dark Knight Rises type of theme, shit hitting the fan

Cant wait!

Looks good. Perhaps more serious and less stand up comedian in a robot...

Try not to view it in the perspective of the batman movies. It doesn't try to be that kind of movie. IMO, it does a good job at almost everything it does.

That looks pretty damn good.

Blocked. **** my life.
I'm leaving work in about 15 minutes though.
I'll check it out when I get home.

Thanks anyway.

Exactly. TDKR is a great film that tries to transcend the genre.
Avengers has no such aspirations. It's just a great superhero flick.

Think they'll have cameos in it? Or are they leaving all of the other movies as separate characters?

Who knows? My guess is they might have some cameos...maybe to introduce new characters. They will continue to have standalone Thor, and Captain America flicks as well. Which begs the question......Since all these Superheros know each other now, why wouldnt they ask each other for help whenever a new Supervillian pops up like Manderin? Why would you continue to go at it alone?

That was my thought.

Why wouldn't Captain America come to Iron Man's aid?

"Hey SHIELD, help a brotha out over here, im getting my a** beat down by Mandarin"

Good movie set up, but I can't help but think that the Hulk would have that mess cleared out in about 30 mins tops.

I'm wondering how long it will take them to drop Pepper into her Rescue armor.

Wasn't a huge fan of Iron Man 2 but this looks good. More serious and a bit darker than the other two which is a direction I'm a fan of. The past 2 were a bit too cheesy for me to be a fan of.

Guys, that's not Iron Patriot.

It's War Machine with a patriotic paintjob. Look at the suit & the shoulder gun. War Machine all the way.

I don't think that's going to be Rhodey in the armor, though. Seeing as how they've already started a "US Government wants the Iron Man armor" plotline, I'm thinking they paint it up and put someone else in it. My money's on Guy Pearce.

This looks badass!

Biggest plothole in the DC Universe: If these guys are all bro's (and ho's), why would only a single superhero take on a guy that wants to rule the world, alone?

Marvel.

I know, I know... geek check.

Thanks!

i knew it was Marvel but my brain has been scrambled lately.

10 week old babies tend to do that. :D

Maybe its the blonde dude in the commercial? Isn't Iron Patriot a bad guy?

I dont know shit about the comics

Congrats man!

They said that one of the main points of the plot was that they wanted to isolate Iron Man so that he couldn't unite the Avenger team during this movie.

Trailer looks great. I'm excited about this.
The IM franchise is probably what got me back into the superhero genre as an adult.

Blade, X-Men, Spider Man and Batman had zero effect?

I'm pretty sure I saw all of the Blade films.
They were mostly enjoyable, but they never made me want to get immersed in the whole genre. I only saw pieces of the original Spidey franchise. I didn't dive headlong into the genre until 2008. I missed a bunch of stuff. The Ang Lee "Hulk" film, Ed Norton's "Hulk", the last Supes reboot, etc.

When I think about it though, the "X-Men" films were really my reintroduction to the genre (I'd been away since I was a kid). I think I've seen EVERY film in that franchise. They were so spread out though. The excitement would come and go.

Yep. It came in the first two, and went in 3 and 4.

LMAO True.
