A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.
Is that the ending sequence where it's all tell and no show? It could do with some fixing.
Agreed, especially the Pepper part. But the person in question was griping about the part with the suits and the exploding and the rescue and the fireworks and the stuff.
ita, I pretty much agree with you, but what I also couldn't understand is that Stark is a bigwig, intelligent, and knowledgeable, are you going to tell me he never ever came across these two in the last 13 years? This experimentation stuff must have been active, and Killian was sitting on a lot of wealth. This never would have passed across Stark's intel?
I don't believe it. I wish there had been a sequence where he was despondent, depressed, medicated, etc. and important shit passed him by for years. I might buy it.
The name I saw thanked in the credits was Fan Bingbing, which really makes me go huh, as I only know her from pictures on TLo's blog where she looks elegant.
According to Wikipedia, it's because she shot a small part for the Chinese release of the movie.
Well, he was drunk for years. And important shit passes him by on a regular basis while he ignores it. Another reason Pepper is a better CEO than he is.

Ohhhh. Now I have to decide if I care what those scenes were about.
Zenkitty,
but I'm not sure that was established in this movie. I didn't see IM2, so maybe it was there? (shrug)

Apparently China didn't like them, so I wouldn't sweat it.
Well, I definitely think it was a lot more enjoyable than IM2 based on Tony's characterization alone. Though I could have done without the Disneyfield heartwarming sidekick relationship with an unsupervised moppet, which was only made tolerable by Tony being completely inappropriate toward him.
I know it worked for the dramatic tension of this movie, but I have serious reservations about the suits being so easy for the lava people to disable and tear apart, given that the Mark VI withstood multiple blows from Thor while remaining operational, and the Mark VII beat Loki and fought off about a third of a giant alien invasion force. I can buy heat conduction making the Extremis folks very dangerous to a person inside a suit, but the suits themselves should have stood up a lot better to brief touches from something heated to 3000°K.
Did anyone else spot Mike Massa in his brief role?
but I'm not sure that was established in this movie.
When Happy was trying to warn him about Pepper having a meeting with some weird guy, he blew him off. He blew off the crazy guy in the elevator and pulled a mean-girl trick to get him to go away, which, granted, crazy guy, but I think they showed enough to give the idea that Tony is selfish and often willfully oblivious to anything that isn't entertaining him at the moment. I can totally believe that AIM existed for 13 years entirely under Tony's radar. He was not in the business of finding other mad geniuses, their work to support.
