Chatterbox: Pudding's Place

Iron Man 3

Seems the only way to get attention for my review of Iron Man 3, plus more reviews, is to give the movie its own thread.

From the Summer movies (http://www.cricketmagkids.com/chatterbox/puddingsplace/node/114461) thread:

My review of Iron Man 3:

It was awesome.

We arrived early to the theater for a 12:35 pm showing, and we hung around outside the theater door waiting for the IM 9:30 showing to finish rolling credits, and then the staff had to clean it. While we waited, some other moviegoer guy chatted with the other people waiting about the movies he wanted to see soon, what he thought of the first two IMs, and how a lady took a phone call during the showing of The Avengers he attended last year. Then we all enter the theater once the janitors leave, and sit through the pre-show watching ads for phones, cars, Falling Skies, and a first look at After Earth, which I TOTALLY want to see. Then we're watching trailers for Hangover 3, Lone Ranger, Thor 2, Catching Fire, etc.

Then the movie starts, and it's really awesome, like I said. It delivers great action and an intriguing plot, and leaves me wondering how Tony Stark could have done such a foolish thing as give the world his home address. I guess it was just RDJ style.

There's a spoiler, a really funny spoiler, that answers how they had the Mandarin in the movie without being racist to Chinese people. The final scene, set in a boat dock (the second time I've seen a final showdown scene in a movie set in a boat dock, after The A-Team), is very satisfying, and full of flying suits of armor acting of their own accord, not manipulated by Tony Stark.

And then, Tony does something that makes me think, "Uh-oh. Maybe he's out of the next movies after all." But then after the credits roll, the screen flashes the words "Tony Stark will return". Whew! Glad he's not out of the theater yet.

Oh, and there's a short scene after the credits. So do stay for the credits!
