A Vast Majority Of Fans Love This Movie

The alleged fanboy outcry that they hate the movie because they changed characters from the books proves that the vocal minority means squat. I popped in to SHH and their main page has a poll that rates the film. Even factoring in the percentage pure DC fans who naturally vote anything Marvel down, these are the current results...

8 out of 10 20.3%
10 out of 10 19.6%
7 out of 10 16.1%
9 out of 10 15.9%

That's over 70% of the fans who think IM3 is a good to great film. SHH is the fanboy capital site. I think all this fake clamor and minority hate gets put in perspective when you see polls like that and, ultimately, the box office numbers. The latter being the only poll that matters.

To answer that other thread, see here are samples of real polls and real reaction. Most people did enjoy this very much.

[–] assman200 11 years ago

Yea, this is the general consensus. Most liked it.

[–] bond_98 11 years ago

Of Course you could say that about Man of Steel. Which is a horrible. IM3 is no masterpiece. But at least it's an enjoyable movie that manages to not butcher its main protagonist with crappy nihilistic melodrama. Unlike another movie i could mention.

Enjoyable is why EVERYONE goes to the cinema in the first place. Marvel knows this. The WB doesn't. It's as easy as that.

You mean when it turned Tony Stark into clownish doouchebag that insults little kids for no reason? Which goes against everything that was established in the comics, since Tony Stark in the comics is the most sensitive man when it comes to kids and he would have never insulted a child for no reason.

There's no doubt that the vast consensus is that most liked this endeavor.

That's why we must tolerate the few trolls that still prowl here. Mutual tolerance is rare on IMDB.

It's best not to attack or feed the trolls. Life breaths better that way.

I know I still love this film quite a bit.

[–] sacflyzone 9 years ago

I love it just the same.

[–] Coneydogg 11 years ago

That's the true consensus.

[–] blackdoug 11 years ago

Even after seeing Cap2, I think that film is better but I still love this movie.

[–] IronBallsM 11 years ago

Well da. This made a billion dollars for a reason.

[–] John_T_Chance 11 years ago

There is little doubt that the number is really high for the number of general audience members that enjoyed this film. At least 8 out of 10 give it a big hoorah.

[–] blackdoug 11 years ago

It's not just fans, a vast majority think this is avery good film.

Not one misstep in sight.

[–] assman200 11 years ago

That's why it sold so well on DVD and why the critics gave it such high marks. This wasn't just for the fans and fanboys.

[–] Uberiffic 10 years ago

We know quality cinema because most of us left our preconceived notions at home where they belong. The books are the books.

A genius billionaire playboy philanthropist and box office hit... STILL!

[–] IronBallsM 10 years ago

If you hear a voice within you say, 'You cannot love Marvel', then by all means watch a Marvel film, and that voice will be silenced.

[–] mightymac101 10 years ago

True film fans and true Marvel fans are all that matters. The rest can go bleep themselves.

[–] IronBallsM 10 years ago

They do that to themselves.

Because Aldrich Killian is better than the real Mandarin.

[–] mh-newressistance 9 years ago

"Because Aldrich Killian is better than the real Mandarin." - to be fair, it doesn't say much, since Ben Kingsley's poor-man's Bin Laden was not a good character to begin with. He was a shallow shadow of the comic book Mandarin, who had complex personality and interesting philosophy of life.

[–] McGrit 9 years ago

I think the real Mandarin means the one from the books.

"A noble spirit embiggens the smallest man."

[–] mh-newressistance 8 years ago

I think the real Mandarin means the one from the books.

The one from the books is a well-rounded, multi-layered, brilliantly personified antagonist, who embodies in his character philosophical ideas about individual supremacy and individual anarchism. That sentence alone sounds more interesting than the way the character of Aldrich Killian was portrayed in the movie.

[–] icannothit 8 years ago

Don't discount Aldrich Killian or what he brought to the film. Call him anything but Mandarin and you would be racing about him to this day.

[–] McGrit 8 years ago

Why would IMDB nut punch their loyal visitors like this?

"A noble spirit embiggens the smallest man."

[–] sacflyzone 9 years ago

It's like asking a parent if they love any one of their 12 children.
