I don't, they've been the biggest letdowns for me outside of Marvel's own films. They're just as bad as Elektra, DD, F4, and Spidey for me.

Natalie Portman has hinted at there being a Thor 3.

Also, Hiddleston, Jackson and ScarJo are all attached to 9 movie contracts.

I believe Weaving stated earlier this year that he came to an agreement with Marvel and that the two settled on just having the one appearance.

I have enjoyed all the X-Men movies aside from XMO:Wolverine and parts of X3.

on the topic of Marvel Studios changing things for the movies.....that doesnt bother me at all.the movies are their own universe-just like 616,AOA or any of the others.so the changes dont annoy me at all.

also if Guy Pearce had about 3 more lines of dialogue when he was revealing all to Stark there wouldnt be as much moaning about the Mandarin either.I was very suprised Black let such an obvious opportunity slip.

I don't mind changes IF & WHEN it makes sense or if it suits the purpose.

The Mandarin twist was unnecessary IMO. It didn't have to be the Fu Manchu Mandarin look or have the 10 Magic Rings, far from it, but the Terrorist interpretation that we thought they were going with & the look Kingsley had was PERFECT! Everything was spot on with him, so why not just leave him as The Mandarin & established to the audience as a Terrorist, that's it. I feel it was a waste & a joke of Kingsley's acting ability & pointless having him in the film. They may has well have just not done the Mandarin character at all.

Also, even if you ignore the Mandarin twist, the film was still very poor regardless of the Mandarin twist being the main thing being picked apart.

As I said, I don't mind changes, but there are changes & then there are what I like to call taking liberties & I think Shane Black & Drew Pearce took far too many liberties & bastardised a lot of things.

For a start, changes made to Mya that weren't necessary.

Killian being made a main villain when he had nothing more than 2 panels in the comic before blowing his head off. Granted, that can't be done on film, but I don't even know why they used Killian as a main character anyways when he wasn't even in the Extremis story that long anyways, again, pointless use of a character & pointless use of Guy Pearce. Also, his reasoning for becoming a villain & wanting to get back at Tony.............. He was left on a Fuc*ing roof! Really, that's the motivation for becoming a whacked out villain, that just seems like lazy writing & a cop out with no thought process what so ever.

Hardly any of Tony in any of the Iron Man armours for more than 5 minutes of a 2 hour plus movie.

Most of the armours broke so easily! When a Mark 6 or 7 can take a beating, lightening bolts & few rounds with Thor but any suits higher than that can smash or break so easily where is the logic & thought process in that. I get that the Mark 42 was supposed to be unfinished which is fair enough, but Marks 8 - 41 were all fully functional armours that got destroyed easily, sorry, but I just don't buy that.

Far too much comedy & used & inserted at all the wrong times & moments, none of it feeling natural & just coming across as forced. Shane should leave the comedy scenes to Joss as he knows when to time it & use it at the correct moment, Shane just used it willy nilly at all the incorrect moments throughout the film.


Like I say, it doesn't have to be very comic book accurate & changes can be made, but make them make sense & make it believable, don't just change things for the sake of it.

Just so much of this movie irked me, LOL.


Hopefully this is Marvel Studios first, last & one & only stinker to come out.


And I never want to see Shane Black or Drew Pearce Directing or Writing on another Marvel Studios film ever again!

It's more the general audience / non comic book readers that seem to enjoy the twist & that's because that demo has know prior knowledge going into the film. I think if they did, they wouldn't have liked or enjoyed it as much & would have the same WTF reaction as most of us comic readers.


I felt the marketing was misleading IMO, the ads made the movie look absolutely epic, but what was delivered in the final product, well, wasn't so much.


The secret actually released after the first international release somewhere, a website had a Top 10 Spoiler Article up given away the 10 biggest things from the film, me not being a one to be bothered by spoilers read it & when I read the Mandarin twist, I knew it was more than likely going to go downhill from there & from my point of view after viewing the film, that article didn't disappoint unfortunately.

I have to say, I didn't like it simply for the fact that I was hoping Kingsley's Mandarin would be dark and twisted, the way he was portrayed for most of the movie. I also think that the real Mandarin was taken down too easily, considering he is one of Iron Man's biggest foe. Can you imagine the uproar if something like this had been done with Loki?!

It was a nice touch to the movie, though. It gave it the kick that I think it needed. I've only seen it once in the cinema, so I'll rewatch it again when it's out on Blu Ray and hopefully grow to like it a little more.
