It was a step under everything. The more I think about this movie, the more I hate it. Even if they hadn't

The more I think about this flick, the more I like it. But I can see why some of you didn't like it. Marvel definatley did a bait and switch with the trailers and marketing.

Basically this flick is an 80s/90s Shane Black action film, with Iron Man grafted on.
It could have been Lethal Weapon 5 or Last Boy Scout 2 with a few rewrites.

I really enjoyed it. There were some problems, but overall, I liked it. Definitely worth seeing, even if you don't like what's going on with the Mandarin character.

As for the Extremis...

My buddy thought it ripped off Batman pretty hard. He was kind of disappointed.

My question is whether they will continue adventures of Iron Man.

I'm kind of hoping they do. Yeah, I know he'll be back for Avengers, but I'm kind of hoping they keep making IM movies. I know the 3 story arc is clean and nice and works well. But they've done a nice job of not making it too reeruned. And as long as they don't get too over-sweeping and huge enemies, I think they can do some decent movies yet. Marvel has earned enough credit to let them try another. As to RDJ as Stark, I think they need to leave it alone, if RDJ can't do it anymore, they need to leave it alone. RDJ is it. |

I haven't seen the movie, but that's a pretty weak criticism as the whole "lose power/symbolically die, journey to find oneself, reborn into greater power, redemption" story arc is archetypal stuff. I mean, that storyline is embedded in our DNA.

Didn't Favre not direct this one due to differences with Marvel? I dont remember if he directed Iron Man 2 or not.
Iron Man 1 easily the best and Avengers is up there with it as far as iron man movies |

I thought this one created a better self contained, complete story than any of them.
