Ironman 1 and 2 were excellent. Other than they and the lesser but still good recent avengers ALL the superhero movies have sucked for a very longtime.

Ok Xmen good too

A lot of people on IO9.com are absolutely trashing the new movie, saying it's boring and half the movie is spent with Tony talking to a kid in a barn.

I'm not sure if that's a bunch of uber-nerd reviews or if I should be worried.

A friend of mine in Korea (released yesterday) said it was awful.

I'm not particularly holding my breath. IM1 was amazing. IM2 was a fan-service blah. Same goes for Avengers.

Just got out of Iron Man. It really isnt what you would expect out of an Iron Man movie. It was good IMO but different.

He spends almost all the movie with a shitty suit and doesnt do cool Iron Man things. Most of his best action is Tony Stark. Instead of being an alcoholic, they made him PTSD from what happened in the Avengers which felt "off" since the whole Avengers thing didnt feel so traumatizing..

But I still like the movie. I'd give it an 7.9-8.0/10.

Well I watched it yesterday.

It's a very funny movie, I'd say you could make a trailer out of the jokes alone because they're so good

Overall it's much better than the 2nd film and character development was right up there, it was more character (or character-revealing!) dialogue than action which was nice, the visuals are absolutely utterly top notch

I really do get bored with CGI action because you know there is nothing there (looking at you Hobbit!)
But in Iron Man 3 it's done absolutely right and I actually was amazed by it.
It's worth watching over and over again.

I'd say it's worth it's 95% rating on rottentomatoes.

Ugh, the worst part about it coming out overseas so much earlier than here is that it's "becoming available" in those "dubious areas." Part of me really wants to see it, but the other part doesn't want to spoil it with poor quality! I also prefer paying for stuff.

Glad to hear this, I loved the first one and the second one for me wasn't bad, but it was nothing like the first one. Sounds like they are bringing some of the magic back.

Why did Rotten Tomatoes get rid of the similar movies section? That was pretty much the only reason I ever went there.

95 percent?

I think thats some hard core fanboyism right there.

its down to 93%

at any rate all it means is that 93 out of 100 reviewers gave it a passing grade, no fanboyism required; scoring 100% on the tomatometer isn't exactly hard, and most good movies will be above 90%

to put things in perspective, its actual review scores are averaging 7.7 out of 10

Iron Man 1 hit 93% on the tomatometer, and averaged 7.6 out of 10

Iron Man 2 hit 73% on the tomatometer, and averaged 6.5 out of 10

That being said, early reviews tend to exaggerate things, so I'd imagine the score will come down a bit (or if it was overly negative, would likely come up). But seeing as how this is a sequel and currently scoring as good if not better than the well-received original (which can benefit far more easily from originality), I think its a safe bet that this is actually a pretty good movie and seems to have bucked the downward hiccup that Iron Man 2 brought, and that if you liked Iron Man you'll probably like this sequel

I'm excited to see it but will probably wait for the Bluray, I don't go to the movies much anymore. Spending $60 for the family to see a movie is a bit much.

I started back up with theaters for Star Trek, and it was worth every penny.
Then I saw Clash of the Titans.


Havent been back since.

There's an awesome theater near us that shows first run movies for $5, or $3 for matinees. It's my go-to place to see movies
