Watched it today; best third film ever, just a brilliant film period.

gag me with a spoon. I can't believe this *beep*

As far as comparing it to other third installments while I thought "Iron Man 3" was a good movie I prefer "The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King", "Return of the Jedi", "Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade", "Die Hard With A Vengeance", "The Dark Knight Rises", and "Skyfall" all to it. Though naturally that's just in my own opinion.

Dream Warriors, Son of Frankenstein, Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade and Return of the Jedi disagree.


You mean the movie lied?

Well, best third film of the genre for sure. At least most of us agree about that. Whether it's better than Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade or Return of the King is a matter for debate.

Iron Man 3 delivers action with great emotional moments and a movie that lives up to all the hype it has generated. It hits a high standard of excellence. Higher than even the other two films of this franchise and that says a lot. IM3 does so by combining humor, a complex plot that takes MANY twists and turns, breathtaking action sequences, a heavy dose of self discovery and realization, betrayal, forgiveness, love and puts it all together in one amazing package.

Yes, they could have phoned this movie in after Avengers and still made a ton of cash. We’ve seen it happen a lot to be honest. Yet, Marvel proves that they want to keep the ball rolling and will not take anything for granted. I love that factor. Iron Man 3 certainly is a much hyped blockbuster that hits the mark with such power that it resonates above all other third films. Much like the first film, it’s truly deep and complex but sacrifices none of the fun. It also trounces the first film in terms of action. Building upon what’s come before, the inner turmoil worked very well. The beautiful thing is that we can relate to each character, especially that of Tony Stark. Stark’s indomitable charm mixed with his newly troubled and always flawed character. It really does makes this hero more interesting then most and makes this movie a perfect treat.

The attitude in this thread is the attitude everyone needs to take. It turns denial into acceptance, chaos to order, confusion to clarity. People that hate on this film with an agenda need to realize that raging against a movie this good is futile.

This is an exquisite film. I thought it was smart, well written, visually stunning, very well directed, and struck just the right tone for the material. There’s really no other movie you can compare this one too.

So many haters on this site. They need to chillax. Dream your dream. Follow your heart. Imagine. Listen to the wind. Drink sunsets. Be free. Let the wonder never cease. Believe. Wish on EVERY star. Create adventure. Be Kind.
