A better version of Iron-Man 3?
9 years ago
Yeah, I said I wasn't gonna do an Iron-Man 3 review, and this isn't. What else could I possibly say about it? I friggin' hate this movie, and I honestly do not understand why it gets so much praise over Iron-Man 2. 3 years now and I still do not get it! Was it cuz of the PTSD he went though? OK, fine. I'm no expert in this kinda thing, but I don't' think it's exactly how it works. Even then, Tony Stark was just such an unlikable idiot throughout the movie from; threatening Mandarin on live TV with his address, NOT using his other suits when Mandarin attacked which he was surprised of, keeps on using a non-combat-ready suit, the list goes on.
This whole thing is pretty much a WSHH (What Should Have Happened)
Delve more into the Arc Reactor Tech, since we all know it's pretty much based off the Tesseract?Space Stone. That would introduce A.I.m, which the Mandarin was controlling, and that's how he makes his 10 rings.
Hell, that would've been a great way to subtly see that A.I.M was being aided by Hydra under S.H.I.E.L.D.! Just VERY SUBTLE hints.
Have Mandarin attack Tony, but he unleashes all those suits, but Mandarin has a way to control them, and Tony's left with the Mark 42, y'know, that damn suit wasn't combat ready! And least there would've been a reason using it and it'll set the stakes.
Have it be a story where Tony is framed by Mandarin for something and he's a fugitive.
Have it where he can't go to Stark Tower, now Avengers Tower. Which SHOULD have happened in the movie.
Forget that stupid kid! God those scenes with him were worthless! Have it where Tony uses his skills to sneak into S.H.I.E.L.D. to take wherever they were keeping the wrecked Destroyer from Thor and he uses that to make his Modular Armor! http://marvel.wikia.com/wiki/Iron_M.....Armor_Model_13
Have subtle hints where he's thinking about making Ultron, be it an after-credit scene or whatnot.
Where the hell was Bruce Banner throughout all this crap?! Explain that please! Sure woulda helped Tony out when they attacked his house!
Hell, tracking a terrorist like Mandarin is more Captain America's turf, so don't have Mandarin, have another one of Tony's enemies, save him for a potential 4th one, since a lot of times the 4th film is the coolest to me.
Hell, delving into the Arch Reactor energy is what helps make the 'Living Laser' http://marvel.wikia.com/wiki/Living_Laser and he'd be in control of his suits!
If they really wanted Tony to get his Arch Reactor out of his chest, which was a bullcrap move and never shoulda happened and you all shoulda know why. If you don't, here it is: For 2 and a half films (including Avengers) he’s mentioned time and again he’s said that it’s part of him. Coulda mentioned in the 1st one movie that the shrapnel’s un-removable. Hell, he was working on his chest in said 1st movie, how come he couldn’t remove the shrapnel there?! No foreshadowing at all, it just happens! Shoulda shown Dr. Strange somehow. He calls him and tells him he has a way to remove it… even better, Doc Strange coulda been the one talking with Tony in that end-credit scene!
So yes, if you loved this movie just the way it was, then more power to you. Hell, I definitely call this bloody thing a masterpiece over Fant4stic and DEFINITELY over the crap stain that is Batman vs. Superman, so if you guys gave me a choice to watch Iron Man 3 over any of those two, I'll pic this automatically.
So yeah, that's my two cents on how this movie coulda been better, cuz for those who hate it as much as I did, and do, we deserved better than this.
Thanks for your time.

The answer, of course, is a resounding HELL YES. And the real villain of this movie, as with the other two "Iron Man" movies, isn't "The Mandarin," AKA Trevor Slattery, an out-of-work actor who looks and acts like Russel Brand on the skids; or Adrich Killian, founder of Advanced Idea Mechanics and creator of the Extremis nanotech that bedevils Tony throughout the film. No, once again the villain is Tony's own bad decisions coming back to bite him on the ass. Remember, Adrich Killian became the mastermind behind the whole "Ten Rings" ploy because Tony was being a selfish dick and snubbed his ideas because "Fuck you, I'm Tony Stark."
Not saying you're one of those people, but I do get it.
IT WAS JUST HORRIBLY WRITTEN WITH BAD MOTIVATIONS FROM THE BAD GUYS FROM THE VERY GET-GO!
I don't mind a movie that showcases Stark without his suits ot that question can he be Iron Man without his suits. But it was done so incompetently.
Hell, when Stark threatens him on TV, SHIELD would've been all over his, I don't care what you say.
I get the goddamn point, but it still SUCKS!
I just think this movie did not do anything justice. What was the point of anything.
and the Mandarin was such a waste, they could have made him a recurring villain like Loki, & is not even you have to change the "lol is a bad actor guy joke" just have an Stinger where he uses the AIM tech & the remains of the Ironman suits to buil the rings revealing he was playing dumb all along to operate in the shadows
