You missed the big connection to the first Iron Man movie. In the opening scene Tony bumps into Ho Yinsen - the guy he ends up imprisoned with in the cave. Way back in the original film, Yinsen says to Tony 'you know we met once at a conference in Bern, Switzerland' to which Tony replies 'yeah I don't remember'. Then in the opening scene of this movie we see that exact moment in which they first met.
David O'Sullivan Ironman 3 was on FX tonight & I just saw that beginning scene as well as the rest of the movie. Can't believe I've missed that cool Easter Egg everytime. So cool!
I unashamedly love Iron Man 3. I completely get why a lot of people don't but I personally really admire it for how different it is. Like you said, people are always quick to hate on Marvel movies for being too formulaic and predictable and yet when we get a really bold and daring film like Iron Man 3, there's just as much hate for it being too different and not enough like a Marvel movie! I personally love the Mandarin twist because it was so audacious and caught everyone by surprise! Also, Ben Kingsley plays it so well! 'I wouldn't go in there for 20 minutes! Hu Hah!' I loved it, I was cracking up at all that stuff. Would a real Ben Kingsley Mandarin have been cool? Sure. But he also would've been just another generic evil terrorist that would've felt too cartoony and out of place in the more grounded modern context in which the MCU exists. Marvel wanted to get away from those old-fashioned stereotypes, it's the same reason they cast Tilda Swinton as the Ancient One - they didn't want that character to fall into the wise old Asian guy stereotype. Also, having the Mandarin be an actor hired by the real villain is so much more interesting and a fascinating concept that is quite scarily real when you think about it - what if the worst and most deadliest villains in the world aren't the people we see on the news everyday but are the people lurking in the shadows pulling the strings behind the false images they've created. It's a pretty scary thought. Anyway, here's my full review if you're interested in my thoughts on the film as a whole: osullivanreviews.wordpress.com/reviews/iron-man-3-film-review/
Cool! I never try to convince anyone of my own opinion but if I can get people to see where I'm coming from and help them to see the movie in a new light then that's awesome!
I did like the Twist a lot, it took the film to whole different direction than I thought it was going into especially with the villain. When we are first introduced to The mandarin we think we are getting something really dark and a super realistic villain, we think at the beginning of the film this is A very dark knight Ish movie but no when we get to that part where we find out about the mandarin the film goes into a lighter tone. Now I think the idea of the terrorist Villain sounded very promising too and very relatable, like something we all recognize due to 24 and other spy series like Homeland, at the beginning I thought the film was going there, that it was gonna be a super serious Iron Man movie. but after the Mandarin meeting is like Shane is reminding us that no this is not the dark knight, 24 or homeland this is a very comicbook book movie with humor and outlandish fun scenes. I think in that moment Shane Black is telling us no don’t take this too seriously this is a film to have fun. I like this movie as a whole because I take it as a big prank from Shane Black that we first think it’s gonna be a dark and gritty movie and then he reveals we are all suckers that we fell for that and we all have been punked lol 😂 Of course I love Robert Downey Jr as IronMan and we saw more of his friendship with the new War Machine and now are more familiarized with Don Cheadle as Rhodey.
Jon Sargent yeees, I liked that a lot it shows Tony can defend himself without it, he isn’t just the suit it showed the most his genius side by creating his material to go fight the mandarin.
I had never seen this movie, so last week when I went into it I was expecting the worst, and honestly I was pleasantly surprised. I prefer it over iron man 2, but I like iron man 1 more. I think me expecting it to be absolutely awful really made it enjoyable. I don’t think it’s perfect but I think it’s a solid funny and comical film.
futurefilmmaker 39480 me too, I love the darker tone and the character development of Tony stark in this movie, I also liked the big twist and did not see it coming and I found it really funny and clever at the same time. The action sequences are great and tense, It's a really well shot movie as well but what I actually really enjoyed the most was the lack of the actual Iron man suit, it focused on Tony building stuff to survive and he uses his skills instead of realing on the suit for most of the movie. It's my 2nd favourite in the trilogy and my 3rd favourite film in the MCU. Really fun time for me.
Whereas the Avengers got me into the MCU, this was the movie that made me realize I was a fan. I know there are people who hate the Mandarin twist, but as someone who didn't read the comics it didn't bother me too much. I got so wrapped up in Tony's character and just found him so admirable dealing with all of this heavy stuff and still coming out on top.
My thoughts on Iron Man 3 (2013) The Good: Soundtrack RDJ The action House attack The final battle Harley Keener The supporting characters PTSD element The story structure Plane Rescue The comedy The story structure The end credits The Mixed: Mandarin twist Killian Maya Hansen The Bad: Extremis Soldiers The pacing Overall score: 8.1/10 Entertainment score: 8.5/10 Grade: B+
And the Mandarin with no powers of rings wouldn't make a great third act villain and the comic version was a boring and racist version from the 60s. The "flaws" Tony made was part of his character since he's reckless. The only problems I saw was that Killian (a background character in comics) was made leader of AIM which was a missed opportunity like Hydra originally was before the winter soldier
Winston Shih How do you feel about the Marvel One Shot, "All Hail The King" that shows Trevor in jail being interviewed by a guy pretending to be a reporter but actually works for the "real" Mandarin & kidnaps Trevor? Do you think that was good showing fans that there is a Mandarin in the MCU or do you think it was a cop out on the MCU's part trying to pacify angry fans? I think it's the latter, but if they do end up doing an actual Mandarin down the road I'll support it as long as its done well.
they could have taken the racist stereotypes out of the Mandarine in the comics and still given us the Mandarine. I knew nothing about the comics mandarine before I watched this movie, then someone told me to looks it up and I found myself saying "holy shit that was so cool, why didn't they just do that" the comic book mandarine is much more than just a "racist stereotype" and I think your glossing over that. the Mandarine is a master in the martial arts and a genius. not to mention the leader of the ten rings and literally has ten magic rings that could have done some pretty wicked shit on screen ( no more sci fi than extremis) they took the joker of the iron man universe and turned him into a punchline. if racial stereotype is all you see when you look at that villain then I really don't think you can look past that enough to see the potential in the greatest villain in the ironman rogues gallery. had they taken out the racism and built upon the most interesting aspects of the character this movie would have been the greatest I n the series. Shane black was more interested in making a Shane black movie and forgot to make an iron man movie.
I love Iron Man 3, it's my favorite Iron Man movie. I liked the twist, I thought it was clever. I didn't mind Killian or Extremis. Iron Man 3 is too intense for young kids, the kid sitting behind me freaked out.
This movie gets a really bad wrap but it's a great character study movie on Tony Stark and is one of my favorites of the series. In some ways it's even better than the first because it progresses Tony's story so much in series and shows growth.
I do understand why comic book readers wouldn’t appreciate the twist, but as someone who hasn’t read any of the comic books, I liked the twist because it was so unexpected.
I actually love this movie, I remember leaving the theatre in awe and loving the hell out of it! The final battle is easy one of my top 3 Marvel fights of all time. The worst part about the movie is easily the villian. Killian does suck and yeah it would have been amazing to get the Mandarin in his full potential, but I didn't hate the twist until Killian was what we got in return. Despite that negative this movie is awesomely funny and entertaining, and it's my 5th favorite MCU movie, I always want to watch it Edit: 6th favorite, I like Ragnarock more
I've had a theory... MAYBE it was the mandarin pretending to be a drunk british actor called Trevor Slattery!!! It was his cover, even Killian and Savin didn't realise, and it's all part of his utimate plan... But that's just a theory. *A FILM THEORY!*
I actually like this movie. The Mandarin twist is pretty interesting (with Killian's idea of anonimity) and played extremely well by Sir Ben Kingsley. I only think that they could have given the Mandarin a connection (maybe even leadership) to the Ten Rings (the terrorists that captured Stark in Iron Man 1) and that could take a toll on Tony, giving him an emotional connection to the villain. But that would imply a major change of direction in the movie and its story, and, along with the PTSD from Avengers plotline, it could have overstuffed it... But I think it's great as it is!.. 👍🏻
I Love Ironman 3! I know that's not a popular opinion. I understand a lot of diehard fans hating The Mandarin swerve but what they did with it making him a face of terrorism for the public while Killian ran things behind the scenes was awesome. Plus Tony Stark having to work through his issues of PTSD after the events of The Avengers was really deep. You don't see that in a lot of superhero movies & it was a great continuation of the character arc of Tony Stark. It's not a perfect movie, not even my favorite Ironman movie but doesn't deserve anywhere near the amount of hate it gets from fans, especially the fans who cry that they want these movies to veer off of the norm & take risks & when they do they absolutely hate that they took risks with their movies!
I love iron man 3, sometimes I even think it might even be my favorite Iron man movie. Im perfectly fine with the twist because to me, the mandarin was never an iconic, interesting, nor a thematically appropriate enough (for Iron man) villian for them to feel like he had to be the same as he is in comics. Killian and his extremis virus are much more suited to this movies theme of using advanced technology and artificial means as a fix for past trauma (Tony coping with his PTSD and existential dread by endlessly building suits; Killian and the wounded soldiers using extremis to heal their wounds and, in the case of Killian, his imperfections).
Personally I disliked this film for many reasons: Firstly and obviously the Mandarin twist. He was being teased throughout the film as a mysterious threat only for him to be Trevor which is a big slap in the face imo. Secondly Killian definitely should not have been the main villain and as Sean said, the whole fan turned villain cliche is done to death. Thirdly the pacing feels off as it's at a moderate pace until Tony loses the suit then it just drags on and gets really boring for a while. However Tony is great(as usual) and I do like the way he suffered from PTSD and how that came about from the first avengers film. But overall this film is definitely far down on the list of MCU movies.
I love this movie and I will defend it with my life. When it originally came out, I felt a little ashamed to have liked it as much as I did, but I eventually learned to live up to my feelings and to live truthfully. It's one of my favorite in the MCU and I feel it's one of the more well done films in the franchise.
Personal favorite of the Iron Man movies. I don't think the Mandarin was ever interesting. He was generic over the top wants to destroy everything kind of bad guy with no visible motivation. Killian had a bit of a motivation in that Tony straight up put him in a place to commit suicide. I don't think Killian was handled perfectly, but I found him to be significantly more interesting than the Mandarin himself.
Ranking of all movies you reviewed 1. Iron Man (love it so much. Robert Downey Jr killed the role. He's so charismatic, he can play the hero really well and then my favorite aspect playing the asshole aspect. The villain was pretty good nothing amazing though. Loved the action and music as well.) 2. Avengers (love it. All the characters mesh well together. The action scenes are top notch. Loki is cool, though I don't enjoy him as much as others do. I think that Vulture is the best villain. ) 3. Iron Man 3 (really enjoy the film. Liked the PTSD aspect. The twist doesn't bother me because I don't read comics) 4. First Avenger (As a history buff I love the WW2 aspect, loved Chris Evans being a badass, Red Skull was a cool villain) 5. Iron Man 2 (villain sucks I'll admit. But I enjoy the action. I don't hate it but it's just good. ) 6. The Incredible Hulk (The black sheep of the MCU, I enjoy the film. Though it is forgettable. I enjoyed Edward Norton. Villain kinda sucked) 7. Thor (I don't like the first two Thor films that much. I find them boring, not as enjoyable as the others. Jane and whatever the girl name is are annoying. Thor 3 though is so amazing)
Iron Man 3 is a fantastic movie to me. I think it's the number 1 most underrated movie in the MCU, and (unpopular opinion) the Mandarin twist was freakin great!!!! I think it works because it prevents us from getting another generic villain, and gives us something different. And I think that Killian, although not great, was a decent villain. He gets too much hate as a villian as does the movie, and overall I'd give it a solid 8/10.
@Black Ninja I agree that the Incredible Hulk is a little underrated, but I've seen people put Iron Man 3 below CAPTAIN MARVEL. It's easily the most underrated. Plus Iron Man 3 is way way better than Incredible Hulk, like way better.
I really enjoyed this movie. It’s not as good as some of the other MCU movies but it is actually a good movie. That’s not saying much since I love all the MCU movies😀
This is easily my favourite Iron Man movie. I love every character and the villains are, in my opinion, really good. The action is without a doubt the best action of any iron man movie and shows Iron Mans REAL power, his intelligence. Tony Stark dealing with PTSD is easily my favourite arc of Tony Stark, as it feels so real and grounded. The acting is great and I love the humor. The Mandarin twist is a devisive point. I liked it, because I think it fits the movie. I don't get when people hate this movie, because the Mandarin isn't reprised as he is in the comics. If that is so, these people should HATE both Guardians Films, because they are not like in the comics 8/10 A-
Good Qualities: 1•Awesome Soundtrack 2•Effects 3•Improvement over iron man 2 4•Credits 5•Gold Suit 6•Action Scene 7•Great Performance Bad Qualities: 1•Mandarin Twist 2•Plot Hole 3•Goofy Moments Overall: 5/10
Iron man 3 is my personal favourite Iron man movie mostly for the fact that the movie goes very deep in Tony Starks character and it shows that he doesn’t need the suit to be a Superhero. Honestly I don’t mind the villain twist I never really thought magic and Iron man didn’t really mix so I enjoyed the plot twist although I would’ve like to see more of terrorist Mandarin
Totally forgot about *Marvel Monday* 1. Marvel's The Avengers (2012) 2. Iron Man (2008) 3. Captain America: The First Avenger (2011) 4. Iron Man 3 (2013) 5. Thor (2011) 6. Iron Man 2 (2010) 7. The Incredible Hulk (2008)
I HATED this movie when I first saw it. i never left a theater so pissed in my life. However, I have gotten over the twist to an extent...I still hate it, but there are other things to enjoy in this movie. One thing you cannot say about Iron Man 3 is that this is not a typical MCU film, it doesn't follow th MCU formula. It's well made, well directed and it's a nice change of tone from the other MCU films. It's still near the bottom for me, but I have warmed up to it a little since i first saw it.
I understand why people hate this movie, but honestly, it's one of my favourites of the MCU. I loved the twist, and I love the entire premise. My biggest issue with it is easily the ending (and by the ending, I mean the part of him blowing up the suits and getting rid of the reactor)
I haven't seen this full movie since the theatre but I did like it. I absolutely love the theme by Brian Tyler and frequently find myself listening to it.
The Iron Man trilogy really has gotten a bad wrap huh? Another movie I don't think deserves the hate, what a ride. Sure there was some wasted potential, but unlike with Ivan, they take it in another direction that, like it or not, works in the movie. I judge this movie as it is, not as I would like it to be. The Mandarin, as he was, does not introduce any thematic meaning to Tony, nothing that serves his arc. Perhaps Killian and The Mandarin could have been merged into one character, regardless what it does do is make Killian a more threatening villain, by adding layers to his scheme. Killian is made more competent through this twist. I know I know, I was upset too, but watch the movie with the twist in mind, and think about how it affects the story. I have a feeling it won't feel too bad. Now I really have no other major problem with the movie, Tony Stark is amazing as always, though this may well be my favorite of his performances thus far, perhaps tied with the first Iron Man. The rest of the characters are great too; Pepper, Happy, and Rhodes all do a great job. The action is really great too, having Tony jump in and out of the suits is entertaining as hell, even if it makes the suites feel brittle. Iron Man 3 concludes Tony's journey, what he said back in the first Iron Man is finally true, he is Iron Man, with or without the suit. Just as you can create your demons, you can create a better you. Iron Man 3 is great ending to the Iron Man trilogy. 9.2/10

Watching these little by little as I also rewatch all 18 mcu movies and gotta say your reviews really help understand the movie more than when I watch them. Keep up these amazing marvel reviews man! My next mcu movie is Thor 2!
I like what this film is going for-Tony stark in his prime,getting paranoid to the point where he can’t sleep. I also like how it’s more story based than the first two. I think the ending is great-I know a lot of people do t like it because he continued being iron man in the avengers films,but I thought it was a nice way to end the trilogy Although I think there are a lot of plot holes and it’s lacking in action (I didn’t mind it too much though). I didn’t mind the villain-I know that a lot of people hated the villain,but I will admit it wasn’t a great choice to put him in this film,he just doesn’t belong in the film in my opinion. Overall I thought it was a fun watch and I think they made it because they didn’t want fans thinking he was just a guy in a suit As a grade I’d give it a B
The thing I love about this movie (in the context of the entirety of the MCU) is that this is the first movie in phase two, and it's the first one that seems to break formula. I think so much of the argument against the MCU is that it is "formulaic." Phase one was absolutely. But after that... I think youve had 12 fairly different films. This is why I'm a fan of the MCU. Even if I disagree with the twist and really believe that we did the Kingsley Mandarin a huge disservice by actually making him Trevor... the fact was we let Shane Black give it a shot
Extremis came back in 'Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.'. And Trevor came back in 'All Hail the King', which (spoiler alert) revealed that the REAL Mandarin is pissed at him for "taking his name" and has a Ten Rings operative capture him. Still haven't gotten that resolution, maybe in a 'Doctor Strange' sequel?
Rewatched this last night. I’m on a marvel binge and I actually really liked it. I remember hating it. In context with the MCU it really is a good movie. The Mandarin twist I thought it was great in the context of the story. I know nothing about iron mans villains so I didn’t care that they did the twist. It worked for me. Pepper was great in this one too. 2nd best iron man. I really like it
I love this film so much that it is my number one movie of all time. I love the way that Shane black directs this movie. there were some moments when I thought it looked like something that came out of lethal weapon.
As a film fan/Shane Black fan this movie’s great. As an MCU/Marvel comics fan, this movie frustrated the hell out of me with the reveal!! I’d give it a C+. One of my bottom 5 MCU movies, only because it doesn’t fit in with much in the universe!
I enjoyed the film when I first watched it upon theatrical release - had no issue the the Reveal. But not once have I felt the need to revisit it. But I find that with a lot of films now - that may say more about me at the age I am more than anything else though. I’ve bought probably hundreds of blu rays of films I really enjoyed , but yet never put them in.
Still better than Iron Man 2...The movie is solid not bad as the bottom of the franchise but I would'nt say It's in the Top 10 MCU films.. Action & Acting is on point story was something diffrent and yea,The Mandarin...The worst thing about the film that it came after The Avengers which was boombastic and we were expecting as great chapter in the MCU and that's why it made shit numbers cash...The movie is good though for the films you've reviwed for now (I think 7?) It's like 3rd or 4th in the MCU for now Great vid👌
Iron man 3 is actually my 6th favourite marvel cinematic universe film after the avengers , captain America winter soldier, guardians of the galaxy vol 1, black panther, Thor ragnarok and the twist at the end with the mandarin didn't actually bothered me
I actually loved the twist, the first and only time I saw it. Although I watched it in the cinema and was 11 at the time. I had just spent the rest of the film being terrified by exploding people... Might slightly colour my view and I should probably rewatch it
See I think mandarin villain sounds interesting and believe would be best in upcoming shang chi but him being in 7th movie of the MCU would be out of place. His powers are so unique and kinda magical that it would be odd if he was there. Magic would have been a foriegn concept before doctor strange
Not a fan of the twist in this one, however as a movie is does it's job well. I love the Tony Stark Character and the kid gets some laughs. However it's such a let down that the Mandarin, who was built up to be an interesting and unique villain, is just nobody. However it works well in the movie and helps Tony's arc along. C+
The whole point of the movie was Tony Stark is iron man not his suits.......its different from most of the marvel movies which makes it age well....I have no problem with mandarin twist but they could have done it better and marvel movies has always been about the hero coming over his problems and beating the generic villain in the final battle until BLACK PANTHER Upon a rewatch I realized Killian wasn't electro his motivation wasn't to destroy tony.......he was doing his own stuff until tony came in his way and the opening scene discribed his experience with tony and motivation to become better than himself and even his connection to Maya
Iron Man 3 is the most underrated MCU movie. The villain is rubbish but the mandarin thing doesn't bother me, Trevor is hilarious. I love Harley and Tony, the PTSD plot is great and the final battle is awesome
I think it was an Awsome movie I do think they could have had a better villain for the movie.great review I agree with u on the good and the bad I give it a 7.5 it is number 13 on my mic rank (might change to 14 when black panther comes out)
Besides the villain being a waste of time, the characters just not feeling special besides Tony and maybe the kid, I think this is an OK movie, not good and certainly not bad. The whole perspective of “what would Tony Stark do if he had no Iron Man suit?” was very good. There is one thing that doesn’t fit, and it’s the way it connects with the future MCU movies. I don’t know. Nothing besides the continuous development of Downey Jr.’s character connects to the rest in my opinion. Extra credentials: Ty Simpkins (kid), Iron Man-less Tony Stark
The people who hate this movie because of the big twist are shocking mental feebs. Imagining being such a child. They didn't give you the toy you wanted for Christmas, so you throw a tantrum and sulk.
I like the fact that the Mandarin was fake because it really brings up the question that are these terrorists like terrorists terrorists or are they just actors
Well if there's one thing I think about Killian is he seems kind of rushed because like you said Hanson was supposed to be the main villian but to be fair I didn't really like Hanson in the movie she just didn't intreast me at all but neithier did Killian for the most part I thought Extreamis was kind of interesting but nothing spectacular and overall I think the manderin twist was bad. It didn't ruin the entire movie but it was still bad and Killian was yet another forgetable marvel villian
You missed the big connection to the first Iron Man movie. In the opening scene Tony bumps into Ho Yinsen - the guy he ends up imprisoned with in the cave. Way back in the original film, Yinsen says to Tony 'you know we met once at a conference in Bern, Switzerland' to which Tony replies 'yeah I don't remember'. Then in the opening scene of this movie we see that exact moment in which they first met.
Totally missed that one!!!
David O'Sullivan Wow I missed that too. Gonna have to watch IM3 again & look for it
It's a quick blink and you'll miss it moment. It happens right at the very beginning.
David O'Sullivan Ironman 3 was on FX tonight & I just saw that beginning scene as well as the rest of the movie. Can't believe I've missed that cool Easter Egg everytime. So cool!
Ya and then Happy says next time.
I unashamedly love Iron Man 3. I completely get why a lot of people don't but I personally really admire it for how different it is. Like you said, people are always quick to hate on Marvel movies for being too formulaic and predictable and yet when we get a really bold and daring film like Iron Man 3, there's just as much hate for it being too different and not enough like a Marvel movie!
I personally love the Mandarin twist because it was so audacious and caught everyone by surprise! Also, Ben Kingsley plays it so well! 'I wouldn't go in there for 20 minutes! Hu Hah!' I loved it, I was cracking up at all that stuff. Would a real Ben Kingsley Mandarin have been cool? Sure. But he also would've been just another generic evil terrorist that would've felt too cartoony and out of place in the more grounded modern context in which the MCU exists. Marvel wanted to get away from those old-fashioned stereotypes, it's the same reason they cast Tilda Swinton as the Ancient One - they didn't want that character to fall into the wise old Asian guy stereotype. Also, having the Mandarin be an actor hired by the real villain is so much more interesting and a fascinating concept that is quite scarily real when you think about it - what if the worst and most deadliest villains in the world aren't the people we see on the news everyday but are the people lurking in the shadows pulling the strings behind the false images they've created. It's a pretty scary thought.
Anyway, here's my full review if you're interested in my thoughts on the film as a whole: osullivanreviews.wordpress.com/reviews/iron-man-3-film-review/
Yep. Everyone complains about the Marvel formula and then the most divisive film is The one defying the formula
Well now David. Your comment just made me like this movie a lot more now. Honest and truth.
Cool! I never try to convince anyone of my own opinion but if I can get people to see where I'm coming from and help them to see the movie in a new light then that's awesome!
Me 2
I did like the Twist a lot, it took the film to whole different direction than I thought it was going into especially with the villain.
When we are first introduced to The mandarin we think we are getting something really dark and a super realistic villain, we think at the beginning of the film this is A very dark knight Ish movie but no when we get to that part where we find out about the mandarin the film goes into a lighter tone.
Now I think the idea of the terrorist Villain sounded very promising too and very relatable, like something we all recognize due to 24 and other spy series like Homeland, at the beginning I thought the film was going there, that it was gonna be a super serious Iron Man movie. but after the Mandarin meeting is like Shane is reminding us that no this is not the dark knight, 24 or homeland this is a very comicbook book movie with humor and outlandish fun scenes.
I think in that moment Shane Black is telling us no don’t take this too seriously this is a film to have fun.
I like this movie as a whole because I take it as a big prank from Shane Black that we first think it’s gonna be a dark and gritty movie and then he reveals we are all suckers that we fell for that and we all have been punked lol 😂
Of course I love Robert Downey Jr as IronMan and we saw more of his friendship with the new War Machine and now are more familiarized with Don Cheadle as Rhodey.
I honestly like Iron Man 3. In fact, yesterday I ordered Iron Man 3 and Spiderman Homecoming on Blu-ray
Nice!
Damn Iron Man 3 is sooo underrated
And plus it shows how Tony can still be a hero without the suit
Except the Mandarin's twist,this movie is freaking awesome!!!
An easy 8/10 for me.
Rachit Garg You like the concept of Tony being outside of the suit?
That is the same score I gave it
Jon Sargent yeees, I liked that a lot it shows Tony can defend himself without it, he isn’t just the suit it showed the most his genius side by creating his material to go fight the mandarin.
I had never seen this movie, so last week when I went into it I was expecting the worst, and honestly I was pleasantly surprised. I prefer it over iron man 2, but I like iron man 1 more. I think me expecting it to be absolutely awful really made it enjoyable. I don’t think it’s perfect but I think it’s a solid funny and comical film.
ya same!
I agree
Yes
I pretty much love Iron Man 3
futurefilmmaker 39480 me too, I love the darker tone and the character development of Tony stark in this movie, I also liked the big twist and did not see it coming and I found it really funny and clever at the same time.
The action sequences are great and tense, It's a really well shot movie as well but what I actually really enjoyed the most was the lack of the actual Iron man suit, it focused on Tony building stuff to survive and he uses his skills instead of realing on the suit for most of the movie.
It's my 2nd favourite in the trilogy and my 3rd favourite film in the MCU.
Really fun time for me.
Whereas the Avengers got me into the MCU, this was the movie that made me realize I was a fan. I know there are people who hate the Mandarin twist, but as someone who didn't read the comics it didn't bother me too much. I got so wrapped up in Tony's character and just found him so admirable dealing with all of this heavy stuff and still coming out on top.

TheBALLER 15m, hold on. You didn’t hate the Mandarin twist?
Joey Jerry we LLC well it really depends for me from a comic book prospective it fails but for a Shane Black movie it was pretty clever
I honestly love this more than iron man since it did risky decisions that make iron man franchise fresh after how formulaic iron man 2 was
And the Mandarin with no powers of rings wouldn't make a great third act villain and the comic version was a boring and racist version from the 60s. The "flaws" Tony made was part of his character since he's reckless. The only problems I saw was that Killian (a background character in comics) was made leader of AIM which was a missed opportunity like Hydra originally was before the winter soldier
Winston Shih How do you feel about the Marvel One Shot, "All Hail The King" that shows Trevor in jail being interviewed by a guy pretending to be a reporter but actually works for the "real" Mandarin & kidnaps Trevor? Do you think that was good showing fans that there is a Mandarin in the MCU or do you think it was a cop out on the MCU's part trying to pacify angry fans? I think it's the latter, but if they do end up doing an actual Mandarin down the road I'll support it as long as its done well.
they could have taken the racist stereotypes out of the Mandarine in the comics and still given us the Mandarine. I knew nothing about the comics mandarine before I watched this movie, then someone told me to looks it up and I found myself saying
"holy shit that was so cool, why didn't they just do that"
the comic book mandarine is much more than just a "racist stereotype" and I think your glossing over that.
the Mandarine is a master in the martial arts and a genius. not to mention the leader of the ten rings and literally has ten magic rings that could have done some pretty wicked shit on screen ( no more sci fi than extremis) they took the joker of the iron man universe and turned him into a punchline. if racial stereotype is all you see when you look at that villain then I really don't think you can look past that enough to see the potential in the greatest villain in the ironman rogues gallery. had they taken out the racism and built upon the most interesting aspects of the character this movie would have been the greatest I n the series. Shane black was more interested in making a Shane black movie and forgot to make an iron man movie.
Winston Shih same happened to me
I love Iron Man 3, it's my favorite Iron Man movie. I liked the twist, I thought it was clever. I didn't mind Killian or Extremis. Iron Man 3 is too intense for young kids, the kid sitting behind me freaked out.
I love it, I think it's a great social commentary on terrorism and also a great insight into Tony's character post avengers
Aron Crillco How do you feel about his ptsd being contained to this movie alone, and being fixed with a trip to Home Depot?
Fit Geek Training his PTSD is still there, you can see it in ultron and civil War to an extent
Aron Crillco I never noticed that. I’ll have to keep my eyes peeled when I rewatch those for my reviews
This movie gets a really bad wrap but it's a great character study movie on Tony Stark and is one of my favorites of the series. In some ways it's even better than the first because it progresses Tony's story so much in series and shows growth.
This is actually my favorite Iron Man movie. Part of that is the main theme, the fact that I saw it in theaters and the final battle.
I do understand why comic book readers wouldn’t appreciate the twist, but as someone who hasn’t read any of the comic books, I liked the twist because it was so unexpected.
I actually love this movie, I remember leaving the theatre in awe and loving the hell out of it! The final battle is easy one of my top 3 Marvel fights of all time.
The worst part about the movie is easily the villian. Killian does suck and yeah it would have been amazing to get the Mandarin in his full potential, but I didn't hate the twist until Killian was what we got in return.
Despite that negative this movie is awesomely funny and entertaining, and it's my 5th favorite MCU movie, I always want to watch it
Edit: 6th favorite, I like Ragnarock more
I've had a theory...
MAYBE it was the mandarin pretending to be a drunk british actor called Trevor Slattery!!! It was his cover, even Killian and Savin didn't realise, and it's all part of his utimate plan...
But that's just a theory. *A FILM THEORY!*
MCU Scenes I’d like to see him come back and be a real villain and for this movie to have been a Hans Gruber/Clay moment from Die Hard
I actually like this movie. The Mandarin twist is pretty interesting (with Killian's idea of anonimity) and played extremely well by Sir Ben Kingsley.
I only think that they could have given the Mandarin a connection (maybe even leadership) to the Ten Rings (the terrorists that captured Stark in Iron Man 1) and that could take a toll on Tony, giving him an emotional connection to the villain. But that would imply a major change of direction in the movie and its story, and, along with the PTSD from Avengers plotline, it could have overstuffed it...
But I think it's great as it is!.. 👍🏻
I Love Ironman 3! I know that's not a popular opinion. I understand a lot of diehard fans hating The Mandarin swerve but what they did with it making him a face of terrorism for the public while Killian ran things behind the scenes was awesome. Plus Tony Stark having to work through his issues of PTSD after the events of The Avengers was really deep. You don't see that in a lot of superhero movies & it was a great continuation of the character arc of Tony Stark. It's not a perfect movie, not even my favorite Ironman movie but doesn't deserve anywhere near the amount of hate it gets from fans, especially the fans who cry that they want these movies to veer off of the norm & take risks & when they do they absolutely hate that they took risks with their movies!
I love iron man 3, sometimes I even think it might even be my favorite Iron man movie. Im perfectly fine with the twist because to me, the mandarin was never an iconic, interesting, nor a thematically appropriate enough (for Iron man) villian for them to feel like he had to be the same as he is in comics. Killian and his extremis virus are much more suited to this movies theme of using advanced technology and artificial means as a fix for past trauma (Tony coping with his PTSD and existential dread by endlessly building suits; Killian and the wounded soldiers using extremis to heal their wounds and, in the case of Killian, his imperfections).
Iron Man 3 is my favorite of the Iron Man Trilogy and EASILY my 3rd favorite of the entire MCU.
agree!!
i love ironman3 3000 million
This movie is amazing. The way that Tony has to survive without his suit is amazing.
Personally I disliked this film for many reasons:
Firstly and obviously the Mandarin twist. He was being teased throughout the film as a mysterious threat only for him to be Trevor which is a big slap in the face imo.
Secondly Killian definitely should not have been the main villain and as Sean said, the whole fan turned villain cliche is done to death.
Thirdly the pacing feels off as it's at a moderate pace until Tony loses the suit then it just drags on and gets really boring for a while.
However Tony is great(as usual) and I do like the way he suffered from PTSD and how that came about from the first avengers film. But overall this film is definitely far down on the list of MCU movies.

Sean Chandler: I know people in the comment section are gonna say they hate the MOVIE!
People in the comment section: I love iron man 3!
I love this movie and I will defend it with my life. When it originally came out, I felt a little ashamed to have liked it as much as I did, but I eventually learned to live up to my feelings and to live truthfully. It's one of my favorite in the MCU and I feel it's one of the more well done films in the franchise.
Wes Marley I love that there are people who love this movie
Anyone else really want one of those shirts
Sam Liston meeeeeeee
Me 2
Unfortunately I got it from Shirt Woot and I don't think it's available anymore.
Personal favorite of the Iron Man movies. I don't think the Mandarin was ever interesting. He was generic over the top wants to destroy everything kind of bad guy with no visible motivation. Killian had a bit of a motivation in that Tony straight up put him in a place to commit suicide. I don't think Killian was handled perfectly, but I found him to be significantly more interesting than the Mandarin himself.
It’s so interesting how wildly different people take this movie
Ranking of all movies you reviewed
1. Iron Man (love it so much. Robert Downey Jr killed the role. He's so charismatic, he can play the hero really well and then my favorite aspect playing the asshole aspect. The villain was pretty good nothing amazing though. Loved the action and music as well.)
2. Avengers (love it. All the characters mesh well together. The action scenes are top notch. Loki is cool, though I don't enjoy him as much as others do. I think that Vulture is the best villain. )
3. Iron Man 3 (really enjoy the film. Liked the PTSD aspect. The twist doesn't bother me because I don't read comics)
4. First Avenger (As a history buff I love the WW2 aspect, loved Chris Evans being a badass, Red Skull was a cool villain)
5. Iron Man 2 (villain sucks I'll admit. But I enjoy the action. I don't hate it but it's just good. )
6. The Incredible Hulk (The black sheep of the MCU, I enjoy the film. Though it is forgettable. I enjoyed Edward Norton. Villain kinda sucked)
7. Thor (I don't like the first two Thor films that much. I find them boring, not as enjoyable as the others. Jane and whatever the girl name is are annoying. Thor 3 though is so amazing)
Soldier Guy007 Nice to see that I'm not the only one who doesn't think that Loki is the best villain of the series.
Iron Man 3 is a fantastic movie to me. I think it's the number 1 most underrated movie in the MCU, and (unpopular opinion) the Mandarin twist was freakin great!!!! I think it works because it prevents us from getting another generic villain, and gives us something different. And I think that Killian, although not great, was a decent villain. He gets too much hate as a villian as does the movie, and overall I'd give it a solid 8/10.

I think this is the most underrated film in the MCU.
@Black Ninja Na Iron Man 3 is the most underrated
@Black Ninja I agree that the Incredible Hulk is a little underrated, but I've seen people put Iron Man 3 below CAPTAIN MARVEL. It's easily the most underrated. Plus Iron Man 3 is way way better than Incredible Hulk, like way better.
Black Ninja IKR, I think her solo movie sucked and is the 2nd worst MCU film. I find it the most boring and least rewatch able.
I really enjoyed this movie. It’s not as good as some of the other MCU movies but it is actually a good movie. That’s not saying much since I love all the MCU movies😀
I love this movie don't know why everyone hates it .
I don’t get the HATE either. I understand disappointment not hate
I don’t think anybody hates it
Except me
Just kidding I don’t hate it I just think it’s the worst in the mcu
SEAN MADE AN OOPSE!
Ty Sheridan is Cyclops from Xmen. The kid from IM3 is Ty simpkons
Thought I wouldn't notice, but I did
This is easily my favourite Iron Man movie. I love every character and the villains are, in my opinion, really good. The action is without a doubt the best action of any iron man movie and shows Iron Mans REAL power, his intelligence. Tony Stark dealing with PTSD is easily my favourite arc of Tony Stark, as it feels so real and grounded. The acting is great and I love the humor.
The Mandarin twist is a devisive point. I liked it, because I think it fits the movie. I don't get when people hate this movie, because the Mandarin isn't reprised as he is in the comics. If that is so, these people should HATE both Guardians Films, because they are not like in the comics

Iron man 3 is my personal favourite Iron man movie mostly for the fact that the movie goes very deep in Tony Starks character and it shows that he doesn’t need the suit to be a Superhero. Honestly I don’t mind the villain twist I never really thought magic and Iron man didn’t really mix so I enjoyed the plot twist although I would’ve like to see more of terrorist Mandarin
So many people don't like this move but I actually enjoy it!
The kid was Ty Simpkins from Jurassic World. Tye Sheridan is the lead from Ready Player One and X men

This is my favorite iron man movie (my opinion)
This one is so divisive
I have this one ranked at number 15 with a 7.5/10
I HATED this movie when I first saw it. i never left a theater so pissed in my life. However, I have gotten over the twist to an extent...I still hate it, but there are other things to enjoy in this movie. One thing you cannot say about Iron Man 3 is that this is not a typical MCU film, it doesn't follow th MCU formula. It's well made, well directed and it's a nice change of tone from the other MCU films. It's still near the bottom for me, but I have warmed up to it a little since i first saw it.
Really appreciate your explanation on The Mandarin twist. I'm glad you're more enlightened than "It's not exactly like the comics so it's bad!"
I didn’t put the riddler/electro thing together, but you are totally right. Killian is one of the worst villains
I understand why people hate this movie, but honestly, it's one of my favourites of the MCU. I loved the twist, and I love the entire premise. My biggest issue with it is easily the ending (and by the ending, I mean the part of him blowing up the suits and getting rid of the reactor)
I haven't seen this full movie since the theatre but I did like it. I absolutely love the theme by Brian Tyler and frequently find myself listening to it.
The Iron Man trilogy really has gotten a bad wrap huh? Another movie I don't think deserves the hate, what a ride. Sure there was some wasted potential, but unlike with Ivan, they take it in another direction that, like it or not, works in the movie. I judge this movie as it is, not as I would like it to be. The Mandarin, as he was, does not introduce any thematic meaning to Tony, nothing that serves his arc. Perhaps Killian and The Mandarin could have been merged into one character, regardless what it does do is make Killian a more threatening villain, by adding layers to his scheme. Killian is made more competent through this twist. I know I know, I was upset too, but watch the movie with the twist in mind, and think about how it affects the story. I have a feeling it won't feel too bad.
Now I really have no other major problem with the movie, Tony Stark is amazing as always, though this may well be my favorite of his performances thus far, perhaps tied with the first Iron Man. The rest of the characters are great too; Pepper, Happy, and Rhodes all do a great job. The action is really great too, having Tony jump in and out of the suits is entertaining as hell, even if it makes the suites feel brittle. Iron Man 3 concludes Tony's journey, what he said back in the first Iron Man is finally true, he is Iron Man, with or without the suit. Just as you can create your demons, you can create a better you.
Iron Man 3 is great ending to the Iron Man trilogy.

Watching these little by little as I also rewatch all 18 mcu movies and gotta say your reviews really help understand the movie more than when I watch them. Keep up these amazing marvel reviews man! My next mcu movie is Thor 2!
Thanks so much. I really appreciate it.
I like what this film is going for-Tony stark in his prime,getting paranoid to the point where he can’t sleep. I also like how it’s more story based than the first two. I think the ending is great-I know a lot of people do t like it because he continued being iron man in the avengers films,but I thought it was a nice way to end the trilogy
Although I think there are a lot of plot holes and it’s lacking in action (I didn’t mind it too much though). I didn’t mind the villain-I know that a lot of people hated the villain,but I will admit it wasn’t a great choice to put him in this film,he just doesn’t belong in the film in my opinion.
Overall I thought it was a fun watch and I think they made it because they didn’t want fans thinking he was just a guy in a suit
As a grade I’d give it a B
Wow. We gave it the same grade
Love your shirt by the way
The thing I love about this movie (in the context of the entirety of the MCU) is that this is the first movie in phase two, and it's the first one that seems to break formula. I think so much of the argument against the MCU is that it is "formulaic." Phase one was absolutely. But after that... I think youve had 12 fairly different films. This is why I'm a fan of the MCU. Even if I disagree with the twist and really believe that we did the Kingsley Mandarin a huge disservice by actually making him Trevor... the fact was we let Shane Black give it a shot
For me, it was the destruction of all the suits at the end that frustrated me, that's what I disliked about this movie.
Extremis came back in 'Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.'. And Trevor came back in 'All Hail the King', which (spoiler alert) revealed that the REAL Mandarin is pissed at him for "taking his name" and has a Ten Rings operative capture him. Still haven't gotten that resolution, maybe in a 'Doctor Strange' sequel?
I’m down for it
Rewatched this last night. I’m on a marvel binge and I actually really liked it. I remember hating it. In context with the MCU it really is a good movie. The Mandarin twist I thought it was great in the context of the story. I know nothing about iron mans villains so I didn’t care that they did the twist. It worked for me. Pepper was great in this one too. 2nd best iron man. I really like it
I really hope that the marvel one shot with the ‘real’ mandarin brings him to a future film
I love Iron man 3
Also,can you tell me where did you get that t-shirt?!!
I'm loving it!!
I got it from Shirt Woot, but unfortunately I don't think it's available anymore.
I love this film so much that it is my number one movie of all time. I love the way that Shane black directs this movie. there were some moments when I thought it looked like something that came out of lethal weapon.
Really liked it
What I do like about the twist is that his name is Trevor
As a film fan/Shane Black fan this movie’s great. As an MCU/Marvel comics fan, this movie frustrated the hell out of me with the reveal!! I’d give it a C+. One of my bottom 5 MCU movies, only because it doesn’t fit in with much in the universe!
I enjoyed the film when I first watched it upon theatrical release - had no issue the the Reveal.
But not once have I felt the need to revisit it.
But I find that with a lot of films now - that may say more about me at the age I am more than anything else though.
I’ve bought probably hundreds of blu rays of films I really enjoyed , but yet never put them in.
Still better than Iron Man 2...The movie is solid not bad as the bottom of the franchise but I would'nt say It's in the Top 10 MCU films.. Action & Acting is on point story was something diffrent and yea,The Mandarin...The worst thing about the film that it came after The Avengers which was boombastic and we were expecting as great chapter in the MCU and that's why it made shit numbers cash...The movie is good though for the films you've reviwed for now (I think 7?) It's like 3rd or 4th in the MCU for now
Great vid👌
Thanks for watching. Defiantly better than2 for me
Alexander Stone this is the worst mcu movie sorry
Great review, I thought the movie was pretty good, with the ending not bothering me but I agree it's not very re watchable ive only seen it twice.
Yeah one of the least rewatchable ones for me too
I think it's a solid film, actually slightly better than the first Iron Man film, in my opinion. 8/10
As soon as you talked about all the iron man suits coming to fight, it literally happened on my tv 😂 lmao
Haha
Iron man 3 is actually my 6th favourite marvel cinematic universe film after the avengers , captain America winter soldier, guardians of the galaxy vol 1, black panther, Thor ragnarok and the twist at the end with the mandarin didn't actually bothered me

I actually loved the twist, the first and only time I saw it. Although I watched it in the cinema and was 11 at the time. I had just spent the rest of the film being terrified by exploding people... Might slightly colour my view and I should probably rewatch it
It’s got some great stuff...and some weird stuff. I imagine time will give you a new perspective.
Sean Chandler Talks About Yes I imagine it will. If it's on Netflix I'll watch it tomorrow so we'll see...
Mandarin twist was somehow my favorite thing lolol
See I think mandarin villain sounds interesting and believe would be best in upcoming shang chi but him being in 7th movie of the MCU would be out of place. His powers are so unique and kinda magical that it would be odd if he was there. Magic would have been a foriegn concept before doctor strange
Top 5 MCU film
Not a fan of the twist in this one, however as a movie is does it's job well. I love the Tony Stark Character and the kid gets some laughs. However it's such a let down that the Mandarin, who was built up to be an interesting and unique villain, is just nobody. However it works well in the movie and helps Tony's arc along.
C+
This movie makes me so incredibly happy!
9/10
Also it's Ty Simpkins. Tye Sheridan is Cyclops.
Did I say the Sheridan? I didn’t even think that was a name I inre
Sean Chandler Talks About honest slip up
I enjoyed it and have watched it over and over again
The whole point of the movie was Tony Stark is iron man not his suits.......its different from most of the marvel movies which makes it age well....I have no problem with mandarin twist but they could have done it better and marvel movies has always been about the hero coming over his problems and beating the generic villain in the final battle until BLACK PANTHER
Upon a rewatch I realized Killian wasn't electro his motivation wasn't to destroy tony.......he was doing his own stuff until tony came in his way and the opening scene discribed his experience with tony and motivation to become better than himself and even his connection to Maya
Iron Man 3 is the most underrated MCU movie. The villain is rubbish but the mandarin thing doesn't bother me, Trevor is hilarious. I love Harley and Tony, the PTSD plot is great and the final battle is awesome
I loved iron man 3
Yeah it seems like a divisive one. Love or hate
great review man and yeah it was a little bit of sci fi an kinda slow in a few parts
Thanks for watxhing
Sean Chandler Talks About no prob man you broke it down well in your review :)
Anyone noticed how in the third one the protagonist is always weaker? Iron Man 3, Civil War, Ragnarok, Spider-Man 3, it’s pretty cool.
Snehil Shrey Thor lost his hammer, Cap becomes a criminal.
Snehil Shrey True, but they all suffered a bit.
6.5/10 for me. Liked how we got more character depth for Stark but the villains are terrible
I think it was an Awsome movie I do think they could have had a better villain for the movie.great review I agree with u on the good and the bad I give it a 7.5 it is number 13 on my mic rank (might change to 14 when black panther comes out)
‘MCU ranked’
I love your shirt. Where do you get it?
Besides the villain being a waste of time, the characters just not feeling special besides Tony and maybe the kid, I think this is an OK movie, not good and certainly not bad. The whole perspective of “what would Tony Stark do if he had no Iron Man suit?” was very good. There is one thing that doesn’t fit, and it’s the way it connects with the future MCU movies. I don’t know. Nothing besides the continuous development of Downey Jr.’s character connects to the rest in my opinion.
Extra credentials: Ty Simpkins (kid), Iron Man-less Tony Stark
Harley and Tony top duo
The people who hate this movie because of the big twist are shocking mental feebs. Imagining being such a child. They didn't give you the toy you wanted for Christmas, so you throw a tantrum and sulk.
I really like the mandarin plot twist
I kinda prefer shane blacks other movies. Something like the nice guys is a way that shane blacks style works well!
James Skinner that was my final thought in my review. This movie needed Jon Favreau
I like the fact that the Mandarin was fake because it really brings up the question that are these terrorists like terrorists terrorists or are they just actors
2 of those people in the handful that like the mandarin twist are my Dad and my cousin. Very odd, I can’t agree with them
Well if there's one thing I think about Killian is he seems kind of rushed because like you said Hanson was supposed to be the main villian but to be fair I didn't really like Hanson in the movie she just didn't intreast me at all but neithier did Killian for the most part I thought Extreamis was kind of interesting but nothing spectacular and overall I think the manderin twist was bad. It didn't ruin the entire movie but it was still bad and Killian was yet another forgetable marvel villian
8.8 out of 10
do banner's end post credits scene count as connecting to the mcu?
Yes!
