Basara Posted November 9, 2013 Share Posted November 9, 2013 I already posted my views on Iron Man 3 a few pages back (didn't like it) but if were going on casuals then all i can add is that the 4 people i went to see it with are in no way comic book fans, they watched it because they liked the previous films. Their views ranged from bad to average. I get there are a lot of people who liked it and it took a shit ton of money at the box office but you cant say people hating on it are in the minority. Definitely wasn't the same 'buzz' in the audience when i saw it as there was for Avengers and Thor: The Dark World. Unless everyone that didn't like it is located entirely to the cinema i saw it in, and FSW. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EVA Posted November 9, 2013 Share Posted November 9, 2013 THOR 2 was fun, though I'm not sure I'd call it a good movie. The plot is a grab bag of fantasy tropes, the villains are big nothings (Congratulations, Red Skull, you're no longer the worst villain in a Marvel movie), the Sif/Jane angle gets dropped before it even begins, the Warriors Three get nothing to do (the poor Asian guy gets unceremoniously dumped out of the movie in his first scene), and the first half of the movie is a meandering, unfocused drag, as they have to dump a lot of expostion to set up the plot nonsense while also, oddly, spending time developing stories with the supporting characters that they will drop as soon as they get to the part everyone came to see. But once they actually get to Thor busting Loki out of the joint, it's a fun ride. I think the big battle at the end is actually more high concept and fun than the one at the end of AVENGERS. It's like somebody watched JUMPER and said, "Yeah, this movie is ass, but we can do something with that concept." If Tom Hiddleston is the MVP of these movies, then Kat Dennings is their double secret weapon. She slays throughout. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Natural Posted November 9, 2013 Author Share Posted November 9, 2013 I've said a number of times in the topic how much I enjoy Tom Hiddleston's Loki. I'd welcome a Loki solo movie. It would be cool to have a movie where it's a villain piece. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EVA Posted November 9, 2013 Share Posted November 9, 2013 How does Heimdall still have a job? He uses his position to commit treason against the throne in every one of these movies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Double is right ; ). I know some did and didn't like Kat Dennings Darcy in Thor and Thor: The Dark World. I liked her in Thor while she irritated my Sister. Can't speak for Thor: The Dark World.

RandomAct Posted November 9, 2013 Share Posted November 9, 2013 Lot's of people disliked Iron Man 3. I mean, there is a whole topic floating around of "which was worse, Man of Steel or IM3"? My biggest point of reference is my buddy Seth, who is the biggest Iron Man mark on Earth. He typically refuses to say a movie was bad, and will always find things to like. He's kinda like Alan4L. With that said, I managed to get a "It wasn't a great movie" out of him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Natural Posted November 9, 2013 Author Share Posted November 9, 2013 Timed that right, just managed to see the five minute preview of Captain America: The Winter Soldier. I think it's the same footage as described at San Diego Comic-Con 2013 but it didn't leak. Man, I'm so looking forward to this film. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Territorial Posted November 9, 2013 Share Posted November 9, 2013 The fact that people are comparing this unfavorably to Thor 1 makes me think I should skip seeing it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EVA Posted November 9, 2013 Share Posted November 9, 2013 It's better than the first THOR. I do think it's funny that Thor spends the whole movie doing exactly the same thing that got him banished from Asgard in the first movie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt D Posted November 9, 2013 Share Posted November 9, 2013 I think how much you like Iron Man 3 is inversely proportional with how much you care about Iron Man, the comic book character. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bustronaut Posted November 9, 2013 Share Posted November 9, 2013 Hmmm, do you like it less if you care about the character, or more? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Victator Posted November 9, 2013 Share Posted November 9, 2013 I don't have an issue with Hogun being played by an Asian guy. But they could not find an Asian actor over 5ft3? Or a Volstagg that is really fat? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tromatagon Posted November 9, 2013 Share Posted November 9, 2013 Well Hogun is in the movie less than two minutes this time so it won't bother you long. I felt this was better than the first Thor by a huge margin and didnt get bored like IM3. Cool credits scene. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tigertooth Posted November 10, 2013 Share Posted November 10, 2013 Which speaks more for the quality of the slate of films Marvel puts out than anything bad about this flick.You really think that?Absolutely. And it shouldn't surprise you. You're the only one not on the Marvel train. Normal people don't have the boner for it that you guys do, if you talk to anyone who isn't all COMIC BOOKS ARE GRAPHIC NOVELS, they generally find the movies poor to decent, minus Iron Man and The Avengers. Iron Man 3 is the beginning of the end IMO. I love these appeals -- to what "normal people" think or to what the "consensus" is -- that have no relationship to reality. I mean, one can look at box office numbers or critical reviews. Those are actual things. We all live in our bubbles, but there are ways to look outside your bubble, if you care to.
