Iron Man 3 came out. And today ASM2 comes out. (in the states) gotta say seeing both exactly a year apart on their release dates is p. sweet Time flies. I wonder if a year later many people down on 3 and its twist have come around, or if they're still unhappy. I for one love IM3. It's one of my favorite films. Everything about it, having read a handful of the source material (notably some of Fraction's run on Invincible), is exactly what I want from an Iron Man film, particularly the tone. Easily my favorite MCU movie. well. maybe not easily after Winter Soldier but still my favorite. /endtribute
okay. i'm super nervous about this movie. i thought the first one was on par with S2 for the best SM film, and so of course I was excited for this one. however everything I've heard/seen/read about the production after the initial announcements I haven't liked. to me it seems like the cast is way too big and they're trying to do WAY too much. of course I don't know anything about the film itself so it could surprise me. i hope it surprises me. and since I know you've already seen it I'm probably not going to read what you have to say since I'm about to leave to go see it lol. also these are not in the MCU continuity. even if I like it more than IM3, IM3 would still be the top MCU film for me.
I've not read the comics, but I busted my gut when I saw that twist in the theater. Big fan of IM3 and every MCU movie except the Hulk one, on virtue of not having seen it. SO pumped for Guardians in August~
IM3 and TWS are tied for my second favorite MCU movie (after The Avengers), and I definitely need to see the first ASM again before I see 2 in theaters. It feels weird to be saying that IM3 came out a year ago though...
