Marvel Studios’ Iron Man 3 pits brash-but-brilliant industrialist Tony Stark/Iron Man against an enemy whose reach knows no bounds. When Stark finds his personal world destroyed at his enemy’s hands, he embarks on a harrowing quest to find those responsible. This journey, at every turn, will test his mettle. With his back against the wall, Stark is left to survive by his own devices, relying on his ingenuity and instincts to protect those closest to him. As he fights his way back, Stark discovers the answer to the question that has secretly haunted him: does the man make the suit or does the suit make the man?

Saw this film tonight &.......it was terrible I honestly can't believe marvel studios gave the ok for the script! I won't give away spoilers but the end is nearly as bad as the twist it made me think if it was that easy why didnt he get it done before anyone who has watched it before will know what I'm talking about.

@superSpiderMan5778

Kevin Feige has done a wonderful job at Marvel studios. RDJ had a say who will direct IM3. Due to Kiss kiss bang bang (another bad movie....saw this 2 months ago) movie by Black and RDJ he was recommended him. Shane Black may have written Lethal Weapon but is no Director material.

Zack Snyder is the opposite....bad writer good director.

well in avengers he took on more than 10 ALIENS what's a mere 10 alien magic rings?

This wasn't GL all over again. This actually had a good story and good writing.

You don't like changes from the comics? That's fine. But that doesn't make Iron Man 3 a bad movie. It's the best thing Marvel Studios has released so far.

@Brainiac3000 Kiss Kiss Bang Bang a bad movie? What? What would you consider a good movie?! Kiss Kiss Bang Bang is excellent!

**SPOILER ALERT**

my version of Iron Man 3. tony still narrating to someone in the beginning. tony dealing with debate if superheroes are needed or not needed. some are thankful for tony saving the day in avengers some are afraid of bigger threats to come. war machine/rhodey comes back from a mission and warns tony about a threat in china. an ancient evil has been discovered by a man named they call the mandarin the 10 rings. mandarin wants to show the world that only one man is needed to rid the world of evil. mandarin now has the ability to take down evil and corruption all over the world but his way...thru a way of terrorism (think bane and ra's al ghul from the nolan batman series). he goes nation to nation with mystical rings wreaking havoc with the 10 rings. america threatens mandarin to stand down and turn over the rings. he's killing innocents while on his self righteous mission. he refuses. iron man tries to take him on one on one. doesn't take. later epic grand finale battle with rhodey/war machine by tony's side along with his small army of suits against the mandarin. they disarm him from the rings. later while in suit tony gets a call from outer space instructing him to bring the rings to destroy them. cliffhanger or mid credit ending Tony meets GOTG. same post credit ending.

**SPOILER ALERT AGAIN**

-things i would've kept. happy almost dying helping tony

-pepper suiting up and saving tony

-tony's house destroyed but no helicopters just the mandarin.

-tony losing his suit and starting from the ground up

-tony being hunted by mandrin's men after learning he's still alive after the attack at his house

so how hard is it writing up a Iron Man 3 like that hollywood? i mean fawking seriously. both the general and the fanboys and girls would've loved seeing something like that

@Brainiacwhatever
You are retarded, the IM3 is the best Marvel movie to date, Kiss Kiss Bang Bang is awesome, too.

Your avatar says it all, actually. Good luck with trolling Marvel fans.

I'm a DC guy myself, but IM3 was great.
SuperSpiderMan5778
SuperSpiderMan5778 - 4/30/2013, 3:31 PM
and oh yeah i say disarm the mandarin. you never kill the villain in case of a possible come back. i hate when they introduce and kill the villain. they should live to fight another day always.
SuperSpiderMan5778
SuperSpiderMan5778 - 4/30/2013, 3:34 PM
@braniacwhatever actually my friend you're a "mother drank while pregnant with you" full on retard. if i want kiss kiss bang bang i'll flip on hbo or some shit. this if fawking Iron Man. tired of dumbasses not staying true to the source. its not hard. whedon did it. or did a good job of coming pretty close. why is it hard to please the general dumb ass audience and fan boys and girls? whyyyyyy???!!!!

eatmyhit - 4/30/2013, 3:40 PM

@ACira

If u read any of my post on other articles I'm Marvel/DC...yes More Dc.

I Luv what Marvel r doing....if u enjoyed it...good 4 u. I've been reading Marvel comics since the early 80s and The Mandarin is 1 bad-ass villain in IM comics....this was a joke of a movie. All the other Marvel movies with their flaws...still enjoyed.

Watch the trailers and ask yourself who the villain is and how dangerous will he b to Tony Stark/IM. This movie was meant to b a Disney/kids movie with cool action.

If WB or Marvel Studios decide to make CBMs....why destroy their character and have them as a joke. DC [frick]ed Mr freeze up and made him into a funny git, Made Batman Gay.

Made Superman boring in Returns, gave him a Bastard son.

Brainiac13 - 4/30/2013, 3:46 PM
The Dark knight Trilogy has many flaws but is the best interpretation of Batman to date.

IM3 messed up the other movies cus of being a joke. I paid good money to c a Ruthless Mandarin and what we got in the trailers...I was sold.
