Iron Man 3

As long as we recognize Lucas is washed up and most TV sucks, we'll all get along fine.

If you are concerned about "children in the movie," stow that shit. He is awesome and wants quiet during the movie as much as anyone.


It's not about that. It's about escaping children.

I suppose it's different when you have just the one versus having three and your house being the neighborhood hangout.

Good movie, but, i think, overhyped.


I don't know that I'd say over hyped.

I'm really torn on this film. I don't know yet if I liked it or really hated it, and I saw it three days ago.

I was entertained throughout, so that's a positive. However, they did a huge bait and switch that I didn't care for, and that's a negative. Great action, good acting, but lame villains and a kid that made me keep thinking of Ewoks.

I guess I'd say that I liked it, I thought Stark's character issues were still on par with the books, and the action is great, but there was the big fake out, the weak villains, and the overall style that I found a bit...not up to par.

The weakest of the three films, but still miles better than most summer fare.

Forgot to mention that I did enjoy the additional humor in this IM film. A couple of very funny moments, including one that comes in an action scene, and makes complete sense.

Finally got around to opening the blu ray tonight. The One Shot is, again, pretty good.... we visit with some of the characters from Captain America.

fake edit - I just realized it may have been a tie-in to the Winter Soldier.

Decent movie. Not awesome. I didn't really care for the kid character. It felt like the girl from Jurassic Park movie. Or ewoks.

I thought the villain thing and the plot were too predictable, they dropped too many hints in the dialogue.

And why the hell was there a full rack Oracle Exadata server inside a news van? WTF? And what's up with ip addresses above 255? (And no, they weren't ipv6). Oh, and nice plug for ABB too, later in the movie. Maybe stop making a commercial, and make a damned movie?

Why didn't anyone's hair burn in the fire, except when it did?

And what one shot did you see? The one I saw had Banner?

I've seen that enough that I think it's like having a 555 phone number in a movie or on TV.

Well. Yes. Still. It takes me out of the movie. And since that happened right after seeing a 42u Exadata stack In a fucking news van.....
