Iron Man 3 is a horrible, horrible movie...I'd rather watch the new Fantastic Four flick again.
Iron Man crash landing and suit disintegrates into a million pieces every time. The kid scenes were painfully annoyingly cringe worthy. You see more of Downey's face than his Iron Man faceplate, despite that he's still in full gear. The Patriot/War Machine gets easily kidnapped and is basically the most useless superhero ever. Tony Stark and his dozen other remote control Iron Men can't even tackle one baddie in peace. On final battle, it's not even Iron Man who defeats villain...its GWYNETH PALTROW TO THE RESCUE!!!!!!!
While I didn't like Avengers 2 much, it's still a thousand times better than Iron Man 3, my least favorite superhero movie of all times.
Wasn't too crazy about Iron Man 2 either, but it's not horrible.
Not hating on the first Iron Man film...I think that one was brilliant...Leave a comment:

I totally agree, you don't need five movies to set up a feud. But, we've had the luxury of that with Cap versus Iron Man. It's only natural that the inevitable comparisons will be drawn by the average Joe who already have the idea that Superman and Batman are supposed to be allies. I think the Justice League or Superfriends are much more familiar to average people than the Avengers were so their conflict just seems to come out of nowhere. Same applies to Star Wars...if they were to announce a brand new Luke versus Leia movie, people would be scratching their heads and asking "Why are they fighting?" which is exactly what's happening with BVS.Leave a comment:

yeah, back in 1977 we didn't need 3 movies to understand the conflict between Ben Kenobi and Darth Vader. Unfortunately we got them later. People on the street are very familiar with Batman and Superman and get that they aren't cookie cutter superheroes. Captain America and Iron Man needed the build up and exposition with the public to get them to Avengers and Civil War. The one part of this that's a shame is that it seems that everyone is painted drab like Batman. There should be a lot more visual difference between Bats, Superman and Wonder Woman.Leave a comment:

I don't know how BvS will turn out, but you don't need five movies to set up a feud. Even in this day of sequels and reboots, most films aren't set up by five other films to establish conflict. If the movie is bad, that choice won't be the reason.
You have one character that seeks to inspire and another who uses fear as a weapon against crime/evil. You have conflict right there.
I hope and think the story will be about them coming to understand and respect one another and then become allies if not friends.
The idea that the only way to make episodic films is the Marvel way is like saying there is only one way to tell a story. It's just not so.Last edited by madmarva; Feb 27, '16, 5:10 AM.Leave a comment:

Here's my take on it. You have two very similarly themed movies...Batman versus Superman, and Captain America versus Iron Man.
The difference? The build up. We've had 4-5 movies each to get to know Cap and Iron Man. We are intimately acquainted with them and we've seen their personalities clash already. We've seen them overcome that and become teammates...become friends. We understand why this feud between them is inevitable, and in a way even tragic. It always is when two friends turn on each other.
With Batman versus Superman, there is no such buildup. The confrontation seems forced, like you're paying to see two boxers who can't stand each other for no apparent reason except it's their job to beat the crap out of each other. We don't know Cavill's Superman all that well, and don't know Affleck's Batman at all. There's no emotional investment in the characters, so their feud seems pointless...hence, the "Why are they fighting?" sentiment that seems to pervade.Leave a comment:
