Iron Man 3 is the third instalment of the Iron Man franchise which began in 2008 . This
movie is the first one of Marvel's phase two . This
chapter is directed by Shane Black ,starring Robert Downey Junior as Tony Stark
aka Iron Man. The Movie had a lot of success at the box office, grossing all
over the world 1.215.439.994 $ and it became the fifth most grossing movie in all history.The movie was good in general but not so great and epic in my
opinion.This is a list of the 5 things I did not like about the movie.
1) The changing of The Mandarin Character
Iron Man 3 has completely changed the mandarin character and this is
something I did not like not because I don’t agree with changing a character but in the movie they changed the key elements of who he is. This time there was a big change.The
Mandarin in the comics is a scientific genius and he has extraordinary martial
arts knowledge and he uses ten rings of alien origin which give him an array of
different powers. Perhaps he could be considered as Iron Man's greatest enemy. Ben Kingsley played the character in Iron Man 3. In the
beginning he looks as if he is a terrorist but it turns out that he is not the real villain of the story. His rings are not magical or alien . .Trevor's character
"The Mandarin" was meant to give America someone to blame for terrorist attacks while Killian the true Mandarin was operating. Two
physical similarities that Killian has with the Mandarin of the comics is that
he expressed dragon themes and it seems to have a good knowledge of martial
arts. He has super strength, super speed , regenerative powers and heat powers
. After the big dissappoiment of the
mandarin character Marvel is trying to fix this by releasing what they call a Marvel One
Shot "All Hail the King" where we find Trevor Slattery in jail and he is being
interviewed by filmmaker Jack Norriss . In the final part Norriss reveals
himself as a member of the real Ten Rings organization which is led by the true
Mandarin. He kidnaps Trevor, telling him that the Mandarin wants to meet him.
You can find this in the special features of Thor: the Dark World.
2) Where is the S.H.I.E.L.D?
Where in the hell is the Shield when the president of the United States gets kidnapped? The S.H.I.E.L.D has been a strong presence since the beginning of Marvel cinematic universe and after The Avengers with the release of the new Tv show "Agents of the S.H.I.E.L.D" in phase two there has been no sign of any agent of the Shield. Marvel has created something so big, but they can't control it anymore beacuse they are expanding also in the tv universe. I think it's a good idea to expand but if they can't control it then we got more inconsistencies ahead of us.
3) The Score
Brian Tyler who also has scored Thor the Dark World has composed the music
for this movie. The score was fine and good but not great and epic like it
should have been in my opinion. I had the same reaction when I heard Thor The Dark World score.With this I'm not saying that he is not a great composer,on the
contrary, I think that he's a fantastic composer that has had like everybody a couple of bad days at the office!!
4)Difference of the movie between what the trailer showed us and
what the movie was.
The trailer gave us a different of what the movie was about. It showed us a completely different movie than what we saw in theatre. The trailer showed us an epic movie
and even the score sounded amazing but the music in the trailer was not from Iron man 3 OST. We
expected an epic battle between the mandarin and Iron man like we saw in the
comics but the movie turned out to be completely different.
5) Very strong Sense of Humor
One of the elements always present in all Marvel movies was the humor. Phase 2, however, has taken that humor to a new level. In my opinion the humor is becoming to much and I
think that they went over the limit in this movie, beacuse we have to
remember that this is a superhero movie not a comedy.With this I don't wanna
say that I didn't like the jokes,on the contrary they were really funny but
there were too many of 'em, maybe less than Thor :the Dark World but still too many.
