Durckad Posted March 14, 2019 Share Posted March 14, 2019 Make that four. The Mandarin twist was awesome. I really love most of that movie, it's just too bad the final act (everything after the plane) kinda falls apart into a typical Marvel action set piece and Killian was a bit of a lame villain overall. Not Ronin or Malekith lame, but just meh overall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth Richard II Posted March 14, 2019 Share Posted March 14, 2019 Iron Man 3 had some of the same behind the scenes story group fuckery that affected Thor 2 and Ultron and Ant Man which would eventually result in Feige going to Iger to get that Perlmutter shit kicked to the curb. 25 minutes ago, sifth said: Ben Kingsley just cracks me up.

A True Kaniggit Posted March 14, 2019 Share Posted March 14, 2019 Iron Man, Iron Man, does whatever an Iron Man can. Uses rockets, to fly in the sky. Shoots a bullet, to kill a guy. Look ooooooout, here comes the Iron Man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nictarion Posted March 14, 2019 Share Posted March 14, 2019 Not going to rank every movie, but my top 5 are probably... GotG, Ragnarok, Winter Soldier, Avengers, and Civil War. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth Richard II Posted March 14, 2019 Share Posted March 14, 2019 I saw Sneakers in the theater when I was 13 or so and it’s one of my favorite movies of all time. I could derail this thread to death taking about it. It’s a perfect film. It’s one of those rare films we’re i could watch it again right after watching it. and man I really wanted Robert Redford to say too many secrets in Winter Soldie.

Bastard of Boston Posted March 14, 2019 Share Posted March 14, 2019 My issue with Iron Man 3 was the third act. As far as third acts go -- and we know that tends to be where many of the MCU films struggle -- it's the absolute worst, IMO. The legions of people spontaneously combusting? Meh. My issue with the Thor films -- mostly the first two -- is actually my issue with Captain Marvel. All of these films had to deal with juggling two completely different settings and casts of supporting character. And in trying to service them all, all of them suffered for it. None of these movies had the luxury of a single focus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darth Richard II Posted March 14, 2019 Share Posted March 14, 2019 That list makes me cry. Though I admit the more I think about Ant Man and The Wasp the lower it sinks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd say Iron Man 1 and The Incredible Hulk have equally bad final acts for drastically different reasons. Hulk is just flat out boring, two computer images punching each other for 15 minutes until one falls over and Iron Man 1 for just how much it falls down compared to the rest of the movie. It was novel at the time but it doesn't really hold up well now. Iron Man 3 at least is kinda fun purely for the absolute ridiculous spectacle of it, but yeah it is pretty monotonous.

Darth Richard II Posted March 14, 2019 Share Posted March 14, 2019 Oh I own every MCU film on Blu. But I did not see Ant Man Too in theaters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DMC Posted March 14, 2019 Share Posted March 14, 2019 I think the only one I haven't seen in theaters is Iron Man 3. Maybe Doctor Strange? I don't really remember, which doesn't speak well of the movie. Anyway, I forgot about TIERS. That's another way to waste time. Actually is a pretty good movie: Winter Soldier, Iron Man, Avengers, Black Panther, Guardians 1. Whole tonna fun, but still absurd in their own ways: Civil War, Ragnarok, Infinity War. Solid origin movies and Guardians 2: Ant Man, Captain Marvel, Ultron*, First Avenger, Spiderman, Guardians 2, Thor. Tolerable: Ant Man & Wasp, Doctor Strange, Incredible Hulk. Change the channel: Dark World, Iron Man 2 and 3. *You may say Avengers 2 isn't an origin movie, but I say Scarlet Witch and Vision. I think the former will still be around for awhile. Hope Vision is too. He should be, unless they have to destroy the stones. Otherwise it should just be like a reboot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Literally any MCU film > literally any DC film. Not just being a Marvel fanboy, really serious. Wonder Woman comes closest, but even that was overrated as hell.

I really want a space road trip movie directed by TW focused on Thor + Captain Marvel + Valkyrie as well as Mendelsohn starring as well with his Aussie accent and Korg. Yes! Anything that is going to bring Valkyrie back is fine by me 4 hours ago, Darth Richard II said: That list makes me cry. Though I admit the more I think about Ant Man and The Wasp the lower it sinks. It’s not bad (although why the hell they wasted Michelle Pfeiffer’s time...why get such an awesome actress and give her about 2 minutes of screen time?) it’s just so average, bland and forgettable. Also manages to waste Walton Goggins. I actually quite liked the ‘villain’ because her motivations made sense, it was just her methods and lack of logic in her action she that were flawed. Better writers needed because there is a good film in there with a little reworking. Hmmm....my top 5, not necessarily in order: GotG 1 Thor: Ragnarok Spider-man: Homecoming Black Panther Captain America Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
