This movie, when Tony kicks butt without the suit, deserves a callback when he eventually tells Peter "If you're nothing without the suit you shouldn't have it. "
don't spoil, even minor plot points matter.
Honestly never thought about that and that’s a great point. I always took it as a callback to when cap says “take off the suit and what are you.” Which tbh Tony saying that to Peter basically is also a callback. Man I love these movies
Lot of people hate this movie specifically because he's rarely Iron Man in the film. But I liked it. This movie answers Cap's question that he is indeed something without the suit. It was needed.
@@kebz9303 Yes, I loved it a lot. And also the fact that there were such heavy references to the Ten Rings and the Mandarin which ties back to Iron Man 1. It was a perfect end to the Iron Man trilogy setting up phase 5 much earlier on.
@@st_orlie movie has been out for like 300 years if you haven’t watched it and care about that I don’t know what to say lmao
Bruh... looking at how much Jen loves Iron Man, there will be a Civil War going on outside the screen.
As someone who was Team Cap for most of the franchise, I ditched him for Team Iron Man five minutes into Civil War. If that made me lose my love for Cap, chances are Jen isn't going to change her opinion the other way.
@@MrBazBake 5 minutes??? They literally weren't done with taking on Hydra in Lagos 5 minutes into the damn film. Hell, the Bucky intro scene and Marvel Logo probably takes up 2 of those minutes. So how the hell did you just switch sides when the story of the film had not even developed yet?
@@insertnamehere2746 😅😅
I knew right off the bat from Iron Man 1 Jen is all about a super smart bad boy with a good heart which is Tony Stark....now when it comes to Thor I'm sure she see's Thor as a moronic bad boy man child with a decent heart who is good to look at while he is cleaning her pool and serving her drink's while sunbathing 🤣🤣
And I'm sure Jen see's captain america more like a dweebie edgeless Mail Man who has to make sure everyone gets their mail no matter the weather 😂😂😂
I love the fact that Holden gives his opinions about the movie and the general public opinion about the movie after she says her own opinion. Gives more of an unbiased opinion
yeah, he's learning. he used to spoil these aspects.
He's gotten better at this. In his earlier My Friend Watches videos he didn't do that. But now he's a seasoned TH-camr.
*'Honestly, I hate working here, they are sooo weird'*
Shoulda showed Jen the Mandarin short they did.
One of the most sensible minion villains ever😂
Highlight of the entire movie. Exactly what I would’ve done.
@@arwyss exactly what any normal person would do
It reminded me of Machete when the henchman was like "Im done! dont hurt me"

Hyped to Jen’s reaction to the upcoming MCU
@@Vitiate1337 yeah I guess. idk it’s just become some sort of routine for me 😂
@@sunnymango1473 I appreciate it man, always searching for this comment to remind myself what's next
I always look out for this comment. Seems like passage for the next movie ahaha
@@KommandantHLL yeah it’s kinda become a ritual for me 😂
@@Doylgaafs9 no problem man 👍 happy it helps
"I seem to do quite well for a stretch, and then at the end of the sentence I say the wrong cranberry." I feel like this is the most underrated joke in all of the MCU movies
*Paul Bettany is gold.* 😂😂
😂
"Sir, please may I request just a few hours to calibrate-"
"Nope!"
"As you wish, sir. I've also prepared a safety briefing for you to entirely ignore."
"Which I will."
I just love the banter between Tony and Jarvis
I wish Tony had more banter with Vision.
I get it would be awkward at first, but if they had gotten more comfortable eventually.
yes i love it so much and no one ever talks about it
This movie is definitely one of the underrated ones, Tony being out of the suit for most of the movie was really cool honestly and him dealing with PTSD was also pretty realistic from what I've heard
Underrated? The movie made a billion.
@@americasteam2112 Underrated as in the movie's rating!
@@americasteam2112 because it had the name iron man in it and was set after the avengers so of course people flocked to see it, by underrated I mean the hoards of people who constantly take a dump on this movie and call it trash
@@cookiesnugglez7318 I so agree, this remains one of my favorite MCU movies; by a mile the funniest Iron Man movie, especially enjoyable as it is Shane Black funny. I was never a comic-book reader outside of a few graphic novels so I wasn't at all shaken by the Trevor Slattery angle, plus I love Ben Kingsley - and how many times does he get to go all-in on a comedic character AND flex his villain chops at the same time? Never. In my opinion that was a great, hilarious twist.
@@cookiesnugglez7318 Most people hate the movie because of thje mandrin reveal to be fake. Mandarin is a epic villian in the comics.
Personally I didnt care, its almost like they knew they would eventually due a shang chi film with mandarin as the villian xD
Jen is understanding Tony Starks Character Development!! It is such a beautiful character arc!
I looooove this movie. It proves that Tony is Iron Man, not the suit. Seeing his genius in the bar fight and at the mansion is awesome.
It also proves Shane black can’t direct worth shit
@@Bus_Driver117 it doesn’t though... the directing is at least adequate and quite fun towards the end
That theme will come in hand with Spiderman in Homecoming
@@danielruiz8259 how is that a spoiler when it's clearly one of the main themes of this movie?
@@tedward1382 you’re entitled to your opinion. Movie was still trash
The real Mandarin is on the way. Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings will arrive this September.
they should watch all hail to the king with thor dark world
Have to say, Jen's reactions to the MCU have quickly become my favourite. Thanks for the content!
You mean her not hating on all all the things we love? lol I prefer watching Jen's reactions too
This is easily my favourite Jen reaction so far. Just seeing her being able to do what so many couldn't - namely see all the great things about this movie and take the positives - is SO cathartic for this lifelong Tony Stark fan. Edit: yeah I watched this one twice, it was great.
❤️❤️
@@jenniferhardman Hey Jen, great job :)
I actually sort of agree with Jen. The potential in this film was Stark’s PTSD, they just didn’t push it far enough imo and instead rushed to the end - I actually think this could’ve worked better as a TV show lol, we needed more time with Stark’s emotions!
3 days ago??? What?!
@@actually-will1606 Patreon
That is SOOOO sus

Iron Man 3 was my favorite Iron Man movie and I think that it has the best villain out of all of them. I like that the Mandarin isn’t a character, he’s an ideology and that is what makes him the most compelling. Also the Action scenes are amazing in this movie!
I do hope we get reference to this in a certain upcoming project.
The corporate villain of iron man 2 is my favourite. The russian guy would have been but he was cut down by the producers
Holden editing: what if I cut straight from "here's my home address" to "home being blown up by missiles"? Seems like an effective way to tell the story.
Jen: I'm into character development.
Me: Wait till Civil War and get ready.
Tony becomes almost unlikeable for me in Civil War
@@Wlof25 there is tons of character development in civil war. For tony, cap, and black panther.
@@Wlof25 Well the development is more in how they choose to act, not necessarily they're beliefs and personalities. Captain America does the right thing despite the government but he does so by rebelling against the accords and higher authority, something he usually has never done. Also, we see that Steve actually did the wrong thing by with-holding the truth about Tony's parents out of trying to protect him. And at the end of the movie, Steve admits he is wrong for his action. Tony is still egotistical and doesn't give Steve's thoughts a chance however he still comes from good intentions. He wanted ultimate government control, yet in the past he was all about going against the government and doing what he wants. This directly contrasts with Steve's change. They basically flip flop except Steve isn't a prick and Tony doesn't stop being a prick. Black Panther starts the movie seeking vengeance for his father and by the end of the movie learns forgiveness and acceptance for loss. This directly contrasts with Zemo's way of dealing with loss: revenge. With Bucky, he starts gaining more control over his mind than he had before in winter soldier. He also represents the consequences of your past that stay with you the rest of your life. You also have the beginning of Tony having a greater sense of responsibility and leadership through his recruiting of Spider-Man. And you can see that Steve sticks by his friend's side despite the horrible things he did and seems to take Bucky's side over the Avengers'. There's plenty more that I could go on about but yeah there's a bunch of development in that movie.
@@Wlof25 Cap goes against the country he swore to protect.
Iron Man starts maturing
Black Panther realizes how revenge can ruin you
It's amazing how you made an essay and said absolutely nothing.
@@Wlof25 I see massive development for the future but ok. And by the logic you’re arguing, you see any plot as “plot device”. Plot device and plot aren’t the same thing. To say that everything in the movie is a plot device to move things forward is literally the definition of plot. There aren’t a bunch of plot devices that make specific things happen necessarily though. It’s just a story being told. Maybe it’s coincidence that Zemo just had footage of the starks being killed sure it the explosion happening but I mean they’re telling a story with events. Of course things happen in the movie to progress the story. That’s what a plot is. You can argue that Caps shield is a plot device because he uses it to fight and progress the story but then everything in the movie is a “plot device”
Iron man 3 is my best iron-man movie also. I understand people may care about the villain of the movie more, but for me, this movie started the principled iron-man personality..The iron-man that is able to stand up to captain america because he believes in his values. So Jen, you're not alone. They're others that also like this movie the best of the three. Love you guys reactions, can't wait for the next movie.
How did you comment three days ago
Me too i have the same order as Jen.
yeah 3 was my favourite out of the iron man movies
Especially the final fight. Seeing different suits showcase on screen is a treat to my eyes 😆
They were able to fully represent Tony and all of his best qualities in a situation, other than a suit. Things like his intuition in the bar fight are great.
"Is that all you got? A cheap trick and a cheesy one liner?"
"Sweetheart, that could be the name of my autobiography."
By far my favorite Iron Man movie. I didn't like it at first because there wasn't enough of Iron Man, but now after numerous rewatches and with the entire MCU as context, I love this because it has so much Tony Stark. His character is on full display, his strengths and his weaknesses. I'd also give it an 8.5/10
Such an underrated movie
Iron man 1 and iron man 3 are underrated movie
It’s trash in my opinion
@@galaxymoonlqght3732 iron man 2 was trash in my opinion
Edit: trash was a bit harsh, just not my favourite
@@notallgoodman yeah iron man 2 kinda boring
Rs bro
I personally loved that 'the mandarin' was just an actor. It's a pretty great twist rhat shows how intelligent of a villain Killian is.
And the fact that they got such a notable and talented actor in Ben Kingsley to play an idiot really is what throws you off. You expect him to be a force to be reckoned with. And when they let the cat out of the bag you can’t help but laugh and say “you got me... that was awesome.”
I also didn't mind, probably because I never read a mandarin comic
I don't mind the twist either, but I do also think that Ben Kingsley as an updated Mandarin can be very good as well. People are just angry because Mandarin was suppose to Tony's nemesis, and it repeats the MCU problem at this point of discarding villains.
Shame he's dead now after that one shot
Me too. I never knew the Iron man comics so I had no idea who he was. So I laughed my balls off.
1:10 Holden’s fridge has been targeted by the dark brotherhood
Ah, i see you are a man of culture as well
That’s exactly what I was thinking too! We are all folks of culture here I see. 🧐
We know.
Did he join?….
It’s nice to have someone in the react series who doesn’t hate everything 😂 but we love u Matt
I'm with you, too, Jen! I'm an Iron Man 3 fan and like him being more man than Iron Man. His internal struggle is great, and there is a lot of good humor. You should watch Kiss Kiss Bang Bang, which was also directed by Shane Black and starring RDJ. It was RDJ's return to Hollywood prior to Iron Man, and it's fantastic and hilarious (though sometimes hard to follow).
Jen's ranking of the IM trilogy is the same as mine: 3, then 1, then 2. I didn't realize 3 was so unpopular. It resonated with me more emotionally than either of the other 2 and actually made me start to like the character where I'd been more indifferent to him before? It added more layers to him that I found fascinating.
Same here
It’s disliked purely because what they did to the mandarin
My ranking is 1, then 3, then 2
The first thought when I saw Aldridge Killian " This is the guy from Memento ".
I must say, I belong also to the rare people that love Iron man 3 more than number 2; equal to number 1. The reasons Jen addressed, especially the realism of the ptsd elements; the respect of the continuity with avengers, pepper not being the damsel in distress etc... . I believe they were very well expresse and also put to the forefront. Great reaction and analysis. Small sidenote, the actor playing the actor the mandarin; ben kingsley played a few villains befor that like in prince of persia. So seeing him being just an actor; I remember when I saw the movie the first time gave an additional twist for me at least.
I expected her to not like this movie that much but here we are
If she likes this movie then she will like his character arc even more in future
Captin America: take that suit off and what are you?
Tony Stark:
@@Wlof25 have you seen civil war?
@@Wlof25 see the amount of plot armor cap has in that film
@@rohanalias9053 when your supe name is on the movie, you better believe there’s plot armor. What were you expecting?
@@omarreyes2219 same case with iron man as well
@@rohanalias9053 wdym plot armor in civil war?
If you want a bit of a breakdown of all of Tony's suits in this movie, I've got you covered. It's a bit of a read, but if you want to look any of them up, this should help. He has a suit for every occasion. He was building them because he didn't ever want to be caught off guard in a situation he can't handle.
He has some that are super fast (Mark 19 Tiger, Mark 31 Piston, Mark 40 Shotgun and Mark 41 Bones) These are mainly used for high velocity traveling or fighting where he needs to get to and stay at super high speeds.
There are some that have heavier physical capabilities making them a lot stronger than a normal Iron Man suit. (Punches and such) The Marks 25, 34, 35 and 38, Striker, Southpaw, Red Snapper and Igor fall into this category.
He has several Stealth suits (Mark 15, 16, and 18 (Sneaky, Nightclub, and Casanova respectively) as well as Mark 27, Disco (which is known as a "Chameleon suit", and can camouflage into it's surroundings)
There are several suits that put out extra power such as Blue Steel (Mark 30) which has enhanced repulsors and had more power for using those repulsors than a normal suit. There's a long distance flight suit (Mark 20, Python) which has more power supplied to it's flight boosters. Heartbreaker (Mark 17) also has advanced repulsor tech. It has an enlarged reactor core which it uses to fire massive chest beams. Tank, the Mark 24 and Romeo, the Mark 32 armor also have this feature. Tank is built to take a lot of damage and can create a repulsor shield for protection. (I'm assuming it's the same type of shield we see Tony use against Thanos' Power Stone in Infinity War.)
He has several suits that can survive in space/underwater/high altitudes with extra oxygen built into the suits. (The Marks 21, and 39. Midas, and Starboost are meant for high altitudes and space, and the Mark 37, Hammerhead is meant for deep dives under the ocean. It can fully submerge itself without shorting out.)
The Mark 23 (Shades) is a suit that can resist extreme heat. Striker; the Mark 25 (a construction armor), and Gamma, The Mark 26; can resist electricity as well as Gamma radiation. The Mark 28, Jack, also protects against large amounts of radiation.
The one you see with the hidden blades in the wrists is called "Silver Centurion". It's the Mark 33 armor.
There are more, but these are some of the Marks 6-41 that we see in the House party scene.
Side note, the one that falls apart all the time; the one that Tony can control without having to be inside it; is the Mark 42 armor. It's known as Tony's "Extremis Armor" in the MCU.
**SPOILERS AHEAD FOR FUTURE MOVIES!!**
The Nanotech suit is Mark 85. That means that Tony has made at least 85 suits over the years. The Mark 85 was his strongest, fastest, and safest suit ever made.
Also also, there have been 7 versions of the War Machine armor. The War Machine Mark 1 is just the Iron Man Mark 2. It's used only as a War Machine suit in Iron Man 2. The Mark 2 shows up for the first time as the Iron Patriot in Iron Man 3. It shows back up in Age of Ultron with it's standard back and silver paint job. The Mark 3 is used in Civil War, which was destroyed by Vision hitting the arc reactor. (Tony, I'm flying dead stick!). It's the only suit to have a baton style weapon. It's officially called a "War Hammer".
The Mark 4 was used in Infinity War and was crushed when Thanos used the Space stone to crush it with Rhodey inside. It was the first War Machine suit to feature a fully collapsible helmet like Tony's and Peter's suits. (It doesn't just open up, but it collapses all the way back into the back of the suit.) In the original Infinity War script, Rhodey was going to have PTSD from his fall in Civil War and was going to pilot the suit remotely from the Avenger's Compound. It was going to get destroyed while fighting the Black Order in Scotland. He would then replace the suit with the Mark 5 for the battle of Wakanda. The script was changed so Rhodey never fights in Scotland, and they used the Mark 4 for the Wakanda battle. As a result, we never get to see the Mark 5 in any of the movies.
The Mark 6 is used by Rhodey in End Game while he's travelling around the world looking for Clint and helping with problems around the world after the snap. It gets destroyed when the Avengers compound gets blown up by Thanos' gunship. (Canopy canopy canopy) It looks closer to the Marks 1-3 armors, where the 4, 5, and 7 armors are significantly more bulky and durable.
And finally he has the Mark 7, which he gets into after his Mark 6 is crushed by the building. He emerges with Rocket on his shoulder after Giant Man pulls them out of the rubble of the building. It's color scheme is a lot like the Iron Patriot design. The Marks 4 and 7 are my personal favourites.
I think the word Holden is looking for Tony is Sarcastic not Egoistical
Also I want a whole video series on Matt watching Daredevil Because he's gonna freak out.
and punisher, both masterpieces
Or often he acts egotistical but in a sarcastic way that's mainly for humour
How the fuck is Tony not egotistical? You're telling me that he was being SARCASTIC when he gave his address to the terrorists like an idiot KNOWING that Pepper was at the house? I'm sorry fam, that was not at all sarcasm. That was all ego, arrogance, and stupidity.
Insert name here Yes, but it’s weird that no one knew his address before then. It’s actually quite easy to know addresses.
I think it's fair to say Stark has a big ego. But for Stark, his ego is not necessarily bad as it has helped in many of his heroic decisions. Everyone likes to point out ego like it's the worst thing, but most of the greatest technological advancements were made because egotistical people believed they were better than everyone else in their field and aimed for what was impossible at the time. Ego can actually be very good for highly intelligent people that have a moral compass or someone they love that can ground them, and Stark has both.
Don't worry Jen, this is also my favorite Iron Man movie. So excited for your response for the next one: Thor: The dark world
I like Iron Man 3 more and more the more I watch it. I think once I put aside my expectations, particularly regarding the Mandarin, and just invested in this story as presented, I appreciated the story they set out to tell. I ended up all aligning with Jen on this one.
the ironic thing about the whole "I loved you in a Christmas story" line is that Peter Billingsly was in Ironman one he played the top scientists trying to make Ironmonger the one one who tells Stein that its not possible.
The director said he didn’t think people would be bothered by the Mandarin twist, because he had no idea people were actually big fans of the Mandarin. And I agree with that, no one really talked about or cared about the Mandarin from the comics or cartoons, but then right when the movie came out people reacted as if he ruined Doctor Doom.
The Mandarin was a big deal for a long time in the comics BUT they almost stopped doing stories with him around the 2000’s and maybe the director thought he was a none character but he has a LOT of old school ‘fans’
I disagree. One of my favorite animated movies back in the day was "The Invincible Iron Man". There was also Iron Man Armoured Adventures that had a really cool take on the Mandarin as well. So to see him adapted like that was pretty lame
I personally loved this movie when I first saw it. It sort of answered the question that Captain America asked Tony in The Avengers, "If we take away that suit, what are you?"
In this movie were he has limited access to his suit, he shows how he is Ironman with or without the suit.
I also loved how the movie showed that superheroes can also suffer from PTSD.
Yep. Cap challenges Tony as a person - are you a hero in your heart, or just a guy in a suit?
A lesson that Tony later uses to challenge Peter.
This is also my fave Iron Man, I loved the Mandarin twist, the relationship with Tony and the kid, and the ptsd angle made me cry. Overall a great film.
Iron man 3 is my favorite of the trilogy aswell such a underrated movie this one
I honestly love Iron Man 3. It's one of my favorite MCU movies and wayyy too underrated. The special thing about it is that Tony has to deal with personal conflicts with himself and his whole life, he can't use his high tech billionaire stuff to solve his problems which makes the whole movie even more interesting. The main antagonist of this movie is not the mandarin, it's Tony himself because he has to deal with many problems which are there because of his private life and his life as Iron Man colliding to each other. I don't think that we ever got so much Tony Stark in an MCU movie before. Great movie!
Its so fun to watch jens reation to this movies, she seems to enjoy a lot and you can see how much she gets invested more and more
Just started supporting on Patreon and the worst part is seeing a notification on TH-cam and then realizing I’ve already watched the video😩😂
Personally, my biggest gripe with this movie is that the beginning of Avengers 2 sort of... Cheapens the ending where Tony blows up all his suits; all of sudden, he's right back in action like nothing happened.
To be fair they did kinda address that in civil war
Him, destroying all the suits is like letting go an surpassing his ptsd, after that, only 1 suit per upgrade
@@pabloestrada8384 also when Iron Man 3 was being filmed RDJ’s contract was almost over so I think that ending was also just in case he didn’t resign
Tony built those suits the same way a nervous person bites their nails or someone turns to drugs after a traumatic experience. It was his way of coping with his anxiety from the Avengers, by keeping his extremely active mind busy so he doesn't think about the wormhole. He destroys his suits to show that he's "freed" from his anxiety and can move on.
@@ryankeefe6222 not "almost" he was done after Ultron. They started paying him $50m a film, and giving him percentage points on the box office with a bonus at 1bn. He made $200m from Infinity War/Endgame.
I agree with Jen. Iron Man 3 is by far the funniest, as well as watching Tony outside the suit struggling with PTSD is cool. Knowing what happens later it’s unique to see a character we all love struggle with something so real.
Dude, nobody talks about this, but the credits song for this movie, Can You Dig It, slaps HARD.
I dont care What anyone says, this movie is GREAT
Facts
Yeah, I really enjoyed it, obviously had its flaws but people actually don’t know how good it is.
100%
It’s my favourite iron man film
Ikr whoever voted this the worst mcu movie on Twitter is tripping balls
Holden's filmmaking skills have ascended to another level knowing that framing in the puppies during Jen's commentaries is what the animal lovers are clamoring for. Ha
Another awesome video...especially Jen's refreshing opinion of this sequel.
#DoggiesGetsTheLikes
You guys need to watch the 'All Hail the King' one-shot. It's a short movie included on the Thor: The Dark World blu ray. It explains who the actual Mandarin is, it will also tie in Shang Chi
I can't wait for Jen to watch Endgame, and see how Tony's character arc comes to its conclusion!
Great reaction, I completely agree with Jen, this is my favorite Iron Man for every reason she said in the post reaction discussion, also just for the fact that in Avengers Cap basically says take the suit off and your nothing, and this movie Tony was without the suit for a lot of it and he still kicked-A**
I didn’t know not liking Iron 3 was a thing!? To me this one is the best too! Then 1 and lowest 3 just like Jen. I cannot WAIT to see her reaction to civil war! 😎🔥
the comic book fans really didn't like that they used one of iron man's top villains as a subversion technique. they were super hype about the mandarin and making him a british actor in the MCU really rubbed them the wrong way. wrong way like saying you love christmas movies so your friend makes you watch bad santa wrong way.
@@robgeach8105 I'm a big Iron Man comic fan and I thought the twist was hilarious. The Mandarin they were showing in the trailers and the start of the movie was already extremely different than the comic version, so I wasn't mad when it turned out to be a fake.
My favorite couples in the MCU are def Wanda Vision and then Tony Pepper is my def second favorite.
I love how your girlfriend's enthusiasm and excitement for each film really comes through when she's reviewing them at the end.
Nothing beats seeing your friends and family enjoy the MCU for the first time. Look forward to the next one!
Love these reactions man. Started watching since I’m home quarantined with covid. Great way to pass the time 👍🏾
Welcome to Da Club!
I really like iron man 3! Loved the Mandarin twist, Ben Kingsley was amazing! This whole movie was just great! Good to see Jen enjoy it!
I can never click these videos fast enough, thanks for making good content mate.
i look forward to these videos all week :) not to hype it up because i know everyone hyped it up with matt and i remember him hating it, but i really think jen is going to enjoy winter soldier...
i agree that this was the best iron man movie. as someone who’s always been veeeeeery partial to tony stark and more on the cap side, this movie humanized him more than the others and made me like him more. i love his relationship with harley (i think tony really is the most likeable when portrayed in a father/mentor type role). as for the mandarin thing, i actually really enjoyed this twist. as someone who wasn’t very deep into the comics when i first watched this film, i had no expectations. i enjoyed the whole “everything you see on tv isn’t exactly what it seems” approach and how none of the characters even doubted the whole mandarin thing before it was revealed. loving this series and can’t wait to see more!! :)
❤️❤️❤️❤️
This is by far my Favourite channel on TH-cam Holden you are doing great work i love every video and the opinions are interesting.
I love watching someone watch my favourite movies for the first time and Jen is adorable.
Keep up the good work guys 👊
*Video Spoiler*
*Jen's MCU Reviews/Rankings:*
----------------------------------------------------------------
- *Iron Man* = Good start to MCU. First 30 mins were 'ugh', good humour, love Stark. *(Not rated)*
- *Hulk* = CGI sucked. Overall good, predictable, not top quality, wouldn't see again. Loved Stark's cameo. *6.5/10*
- *Iron Man 2* = Not as good as 1st. Really good, Stark great, CGI amazing. Cheadle good, prefers Howard. Black Widow is meh. *7.5/10*
- *Thor* = Really enjoyed it a lot, more than first thought. In love with Natalie Portman. Heimdall favourite character. Liked better than Iron Man? *(Not rated)*
- *Captain America: TFA* = Cap didn't really do it for her. Liked Peggy, liked Cap's character in general. Red Skull entertaining. Felt flat. No character growth for Cap. *6.5/10*
- *The Avengers* = Hawkeye and Black Widow growing on her. Loki is great villain, empathizes with him. Likes Cap more here. Heartbroken by Coulson. Hulk CGI better, Norton slightly better? Thor not enough spotlight. Should've solidified team earlier on. Juicy post credits. *8.5/10*
----------------------------------------------------------------
- *Iron Man 3* = Possibly better than 1st and 2nd. Liked seeing his relationships with Pepper and Happy. Loved villains. Loved Stark without suit. Liked Pepper saving herself. Kid was hilarious. *8.5/10*
*Order:*
Avengers, Iron Man 3, Thor, Iron Man, Iron Man 2, Captain America, Hulk
*My Opinion:*
Iron Man 3 is severely underrated. Great score. Liked dynamic with kid. Liked seeing him have to figure everything out without the suit. Liked final fight and switching suits. Realistic development of PTSD after first encounter with aliens and war. They shoulda explored it a little more imo however.
Holy, you must’ve spent a lot of time on this!
@@nerdynerd9346 Doesn't take too long lol. Just copy n paste from previous vid and compact Jen's thoughts into a couple sentences. I've been doing it for Matt's DCEU watch as well.
Nice summary list you have compiled. +1 like.
I agree with Jen. I love IM3. It’s a fantastic movie. It subverted expectations and surprised me. 100% a fun thing.
Make sure to check out the Slattery centered short film! I can’t remember what it’s called, but the film’s fantastic.
Fun fact: That free fall scene was done practically. They fitted professional skydivers with hidden parachutes under their costumes and had them skydive with a film crew. Hell of a stunt.
This made me so happy!! I love iron man 3, I love seeing Tony out on his own using alternative solutions than his suit, and his relationship with the kid is hilarious! I watched it after it came out so I already knew about the mandarin twist before I watched it so that's never really bothered me (although I did prefer the mandarin persona over Trevor). It's definitely my favourite iron man film so it's nice to hear someone else share that opinion!
P.S. It hurts my soul that people rank iron man 2 over this 😂
You betcha she's gonna be team Iron Man in Civil War! I'm so happy
If I were to rank the iron man films I would do 1, 3, 2
I didn't see anyone else mention it, but the first Man who approaches Tony and shakes his hand is Ho Yensen from the first Iron Man. Remember when he said they'd met once at a conference? That was it.
I've said it before, but Jen just gets this whole thing in a way that Matt just isn't able to. I enjoy this series much, much more, and it has nothing to do with it being a girlfriend or whatever. I appreciate her perspective and genuine enjoyment.
seeing Jen's face and reaction when she said "so she is dead?" is the most adorable thing 🤣
I love watching these because of you guys, but also because it gives me an excess to rewatch these movies for the 50th time
This has got to be one of the best detailed reaction I've seen from someone. That was brilliant, Jen.
I knew Jen was really going to love this one. Iron Man 3 was actually my gateway into the MCU. Watched it randomly at the cinema and I remember being in awe for a couple of days as I had never seen anything like it before.
"You when you're a little hungry" 😂😂
brah
Dont make me hangry, you wouldn’t like me when I’m hangry. - Jen
I honestly think this could be my personal favorite Iron Man movie, I know its a hot take but wow I just really like it a lot
I loved this movie! Definitely my favourite Iron Man movie. I love how you can see how engaged Jen is with this movie.
Can't wait to see her MCU experience continue to grow!!
In the original draft of the movie, Maya, the ex-girlfriend, was supposed to be the main villain, like in the comics. In the Extremis storyline, Killian was just a minor character whose death kicks off the main story. The reason why Killian is the main villain in the movie is because the producers didn’t think a female villain would sell a lot of toys. I don’t remember ever seeing any Aldrich Killian action figures at toy stores, so that change was pointless. Guy Pearce was still awesome though.
Finally someone who agrees with me about iron man 3
Completely agree with Jen, Iron Man 3 is easily the best of the 3 Iron Man films such a great film and gives Tony so much development as a character, it was such a necessary film for Tony as a character and his place in the rest of the series, has to be the most underrated film in the Infinity Saga?
The necklace Tony gives Pepper after the surgery scene at the end is made of the metal shrapnel that was taken out of his chest
This is probably my favorite of the Ironman movies, I do agree I wasn't a huge fan of the Trevor reveal but in hind sight its a cool twist and pretty funny. I like seeing his growth and humanization. Also I'm probably biased cause i remember seeing this in theaters for my best friends birthday when I was a kid and we loved it.
I just love how this film proves that Tony is Iron Man with or without the suit...
(SPOILERS UNDER THIS)
It ties in with what he says to Peter in Homecoming.
"If you're nothing without this suit, then you shouldn't have it"
@@Wlof25 Ironman is the concept, the soul of Tony... it was never the suit. That's the point of this movie and I think you missed that.
@@Wlof25 you really don't understand the films message and my comment whatsoever, he did do stuff without the suit, thats what he learned over the course of the movie, smh
@@Wlof25 Lol Martial Arts?! What Martial Arts?! When did you see Tony become a kung-fu master in the movie?
There's little to no martial arts involved in the mansion scene. Tony took them all down with the tools that *he made.* As he says during the entire movie, he is a mechanic.
Also, did you really watch all the Iron Man movies? Because you keep calling *"War Machine"* Killing Machine.
@@Wlof25 Ok I get what you're talking about. But that's just basic superhero stuff. Almost every character in a superhero film can do what Tony pulled off here.
Martial artists in movies on the other hand, are on a whole different level.
@@Wlof25 Fuck, you're right. Well looks like you win this arguement.
Since Jenn likes this so much, y'all should watch Kiss, Kiss, Bang, Bang which starred RDJ and directed by Shane Black (who RDJ had direct Iron Man 3)
Also, dig the new Hair Color Jenn
I really think that so far you did this review better than any that you had done before. Thanks for making these and letting me see them through different eyes.
This is my favorite Iron Man movie by a mile. The PTSD(even if muted focus), Ben Kingsley, Killian's arc and intelligence, showing more of Tony Stark minus the armor, his connection and growth with Happy, Pepper, and the kid, and Rhodie.
Also Tony says he fixed Pepper in the epilogue voice over.
I love this movie too. If not for the Mandarin "twist", this would be my favorite Iron Man movie for all of the reasons mentioned by Jen. Even with the Mandarin twist, I still like Iron Man 3 more than Iron Man 2. I also believe they should have focused a little more on Tony Stark's PTSD.
I always liked Iron Man 3. It's MCUs version of Kiss Kiss Bang Bang
not even close. Kiss Kiss Bang Bang was Great.
I really liked Jen's opinion because it comes from a different perspective than your average Marvel fan, and it shows why the MCU movies appeal to a wide variety of fans, even ones that never read a comic book about these characters and stories...great job Kevin Feige!
In the dialogue at the end when Tony is talking he mentions that he got Pepper sorted out. Sort of a throw away line to just give closure on the fact that she won't be walking around possibly blowing up in the future.
I like this movie because it's so action packed. I, also, loved the Mandarin twist.
Jen if you like movies that constantly keep you guessing then you'll LOVE Wandavision! Lol
Fun fact: In the scene where Iron Man rescues people mid-air, they literally filmed that in mid-air. It's not CGI (except for Iron Man, of course).
22:20 it actually says at the end of the movie. Tony says he fixed Pepper and it took a little tinkering, and then he goes on to say why stop there and he fixed himself, too. :)
Jen is right Iron Man 3 is the best one
It's my favorite Iron Man as well, I'm not alone!!! 😆
I think this is very underated Marvel film Tony Stark/Robert Doweny Jr is really watchable because they really are one of the same person,great reaction from you two anyway there's so much more to come you wait Jen.
Every time you post I’m in school. That’s the only thing that really entertains me at school. Currently in French class but ehh... it could wait.
Shane Black makes a solid Christmas movie.
Edit: can we appreciate the moment Tony is told “just build something” and a spy version of the Home Depot song just starts up
Iron man 3 is different but one of my favs for sure!
Ironman 3 is my favorite Christmas Film.
I feel exactly the way Jen does about the Iron Man movies, including her ranking with 3 at the top, then 1, then 2. It’s so frustrating because sooooo many people just hate this one... but every single point she was making about the 3rd I was like “Yes. Yessss. YES!”
People don’t like it because they teased that the mandarin would be the final villain and then they didn’t come true to that and made it a joke it worked well with the plot of the movie but they got everyone exited for nothing
I think the best thing about Iron Man 3 is that it serves as a reminder that Tony isn't a superhero because of his suits. He's a superhero because of his intelligence, knowledge, and heart.
Now that Iron Man 3 is over the threshhold, she can start watching Agents of SHIELD in the future. I hope that she watches Agent Carter season 1 before Endgame.
No. Those are NOT priority shows lol They need to watch Daredevil, Punisher, Luke Cage, Wandavision, Falcon and the Winter Soldier, Defenders before even thinking about that god awful Agents of Shit
@@Antwannnn As far as the quality of the NetFlix Defenders show, I cannot say because i never had the service.
I also am not commenting on the future of Disney+, as I don't have that pay service.
I did have ABC and watched every episode of both Agent Carter and Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.
Both shows are tied more obviously to the movies. These are good shows. Season 1 Agent Carter is tied into Endgame. Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. fills in the background between Iron Man 3 and Disney+.
I am not asking for them to watch all 7 seasons of S.H.I.E.L.D. and both seasons of Carter before anything else. I am saying that all of the pieces are in place that you know the context going in.
136 episodes of A.O.S.
18 episodes of Agent Carter
154 episodes ABC
39 episodes of Daredevil
26 episodes of Luke Cage
39 episodes of Jessica Jones
23 episodes of Iron Fist
8 episodes of Defenders
135 episodes NetFlix
9 episodes of Wanda/Vision
6 episodes of The Falcon & Winter Soldier
No need to be salty because Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. had more episodes than all NetFlix shows combined and had been given the greenlight for additional seasons.
Hopefully, the NetFlix actors will be able to return to production under Disney's future plans.
@@Antwannnn u know none if those are cannon. The only ones that are cannon to the mcu are the Disney+ shows
@@CaptainFrost32 while agents of shield does have little references and tie-ins to the movies, it really isn't that important to the point where it's necessity mcu viewing. Shows like wandavision and the falcon and the winter soldier are essential mcu viewing though, as they fully impact the films and play important factors into the larger mcu.
@@jaysunleblanc3680 My point is that I do not recommend beginning Agents of SHIELD until you have reached Iron Man 3. Season 1 of Agent Carter should be watched before Endgame.
I like both series and I will always recommend them to any viewer of the MCU. I do not have streaming services like Netflix, Hulu, or Disney+. I never recommend a show that I have not watched, simple as that.
I have enjoyed Marvel since I was young. TV shows, TV movies, cartoons, comic books, roleplaying games, every Marvel movie before and beside the MCU.
The thing is that these two shows [Agent Carter and Agents of SHIELD] were Disney+ before Disney+. The showrunners could have continued making more seasons, but chose to end at 7.
Since you are PAYING for Disney+, binge it when you can and get your money's worth. I never had to pay a cent for my shows as it was the broadcast network.
27:05 you would not believe the shock on my face💀 Holden...i never knew you were a Britney stan🙌🏻👑 as u should tho love it
I was one of the concept artists on Iron Man 3. I'm so happy and flattered that Jen liked our little movie!! Hahaha-----Thumbs up! EXCELSIOR!! Holden!!! Bro, what the hell?? Hahaha
Glad I’m not the only one who loves this movie. Iron Man 3 is the most underrated MCU movies. It’s honestly one of the best in the series because it’s just Tony at his best.
