Loved the reaction! I was stunned when Pepper fell too! I really like this movie because it shows more of the human side of Tony, he is a superhero but also human and the life he leads is bound to be traumatic and anxiety inducing. That's why I think a lot of people like this one better than the previous two, it makes you understand that he's not Iron Man because of the suit, he is a whole hero without it. Aldrich in my opinion is the MCU equivalent of Elon Musk xD(this character and the scientist from "Dont look up"). I saw another comments about the one shot "All hail the king", it's worth the watch, but maybe as a patreon exclusive?
Personally the three Iron Man movies are hard to rank for me. I love all of them for various reasons. The coolest thing about his character is watching how his suits evolve. Every single one is a little better and solves a problem or annoyance from a previous version. Early suits, while awesome, were difficult and time consuming to put on and take off. Starting in #2 you see the time and extra equipment required, change to more portable and easier to use. Then in avengers he uses bracelets to help align an autonomous suit catch him and have useable flight power fast enough to not die when falling from Stark tower. Then in this one he has implanted chips to help align the new model that has autonomous pieces. There are some amazing upgrades yet to come in future movies too. Combined with his character growth, he is one of the best characters in the movies by far.
I wasn't a fan of this movie when it first came out but it's grown on me a lot since then. A lot of fans hate the Mandarin twist, but personally I love it and I think Sir Ben Kingsley's performance is one of the best in the entire MCU
The story is all over the place, but I’ve never minded varying plots, so it’s less weighted for me than some of the other aspects. The dialogue and characters were pretty strong for me here.
Great reaction! 😊 This one of those movies that the more I watch, the more I like it. 1:13 You are correct. That is Yinsen, the man Tony met in the cave in the first movie. If you recall from the first one, Yinsen mentioned to Tony that they met before at conference in Switzerland. Glad that we got to see that meeting. I like this movie slightly better than the second one. I like that we get to see Tony and Rhodey work together more in this one. This movie does a really good job showing the human side of Tony Stark. Him having PTSD after the events of the first Avengers movie. We see him bonding with a kid. And we get to see him defeat the bad guys by not using his suit for most of the movie. Ben Kingsley's character is one of my favorite minor MCU' characters. The scene with Trevor Slattery, Tony, and Rhodey is hilarious. 32:57 Loved your reaction to Pepper clobbering Aldrich Killian. LOL! I love how that the necklace that Tony gives Pepper at the end was made from the pieces of shrapnel that he had removed. 35:05 One of my favorite post-credit scenes. This whole time he was talking to Bruce Banner. Who ended up falling asleep right away. LOL! Looking forward to your next reaction. 😊
That’s is an unusual opinion. The majority of fans usually have that flipped. Second one is the least favorite and the third being the best. That happens to be my opinion as well but not because of the majority. Loving these reactions, they make my week better.
What was the point of the waitress in the Avengers? She was intended to show that Cap was adjusting back to life in the “world” and that he was still “the same Steve” around women, despite being a celebrity and basically having his pick of the bunch
The person in this movie that was the Bad person is a Australia he was Guy Pearce he has been in lots movies but he big one Priscilla Queen of The Desert. All these actors are all Aussie we do have more but these are the biggest ones Margot Robbie, Geoffrey Rush, Russell Crowe, Nicole Kidman, Chris Hemsworth, Liam Hemsworth and Hugh Jackman
They mishandled the Mandarin character in favor of Killian, I think that's why so many people have mixed feelings about this one. They used the Mandarin plot just to make a funny twist with the actor when the Mandarin is actually one of Iron Man's biggest enemies in the comics, he's the real deal.
Most (but not all! like Travis here to an extent) people who haven’t read the comics didn’t have an issue with that because it just seemed like a funny subversion of expectations. I get being annoyed at certain changes, but isn’t it also kind of fun to see what twists adaptations make? It can be fun to see different variations on the same character, especially when it comes to comic books which are often written by different people over the years. I guess people were disappointed they didn’t get to see this character they liked and instead a satirical idea.
Hey, Travis! The fanbase was sharply divided over this Iron Man installment for two major deviations from the comics: the Mandarin and AIM. Ben Kingsley was admittedly hilarious as Trevor and the revelation that he's merely a paper tiger facade for Killian was completely unexpected. However, the Mandarin is Tony's nemesis and one of Marvel's great villains. When he was reduced to a laughingstock, it frustrated all the expectations the trailers had built up for a live-action showdown between these major opponents. The other disappointment was that AIM was reduced to a corporation run by Killian when it's supposed to be a major terrorist organization comparable to Hydra but comprised of rogue scientists! The movie also uses PTSD as a substitute for Tony's notorious alcoholism but this deviation still helps to ground the character and humanize him for audiences nevertheless. The plot is adapted from the "Extremis" storyline written by Warren Ellis and illustrated by Adi Granov which propelled the character into the 21st-century. The Mandarin is a top-tier Marvel villain who deserves a special note. He was created by Stan Lee in 1964 debuting in issue # 50 of the title that was running Iron Man's adventures at the time called "Tales of Suspense". He goes by many aliases such as Eugene Khan, Zhang Tong and Tem Borijgin but none know his real name. He is the bi-racial product of an aristocratic Chinese family from pre-Communist China who claim descent from Genghis Khan. Orphaned at an early age, he was raised by a bitter dowager aunt whose hate for the Communist regime was exceeded only by her hate for the West! A boy prodigy, she spent every last bit of his fortune training him in science, history and combat until they could no longer pay taxes and were evicted by the government from his ancestral estate. Now a proud young man with a grudge against the world, he explored a hidden valley none dare enter and made a remarkable find: a spaceship with the corpse of a dragon-like pilot from a world called Maklu IV. This find explains the motif of intelligent dragons in Chinese folklore. He spends years mastering the technology which confers upon him longevity and the ten control rings that power the ship. Each ring has a specific function and can be wielded independent of the ship as weapons. He easily seizes the area around the valley which draws in the government whom he intimidates into a detente where they agree to shelter him and turn a blind eye to his machinations so long as he doesn't molest China. He moves his center of operations to the Gobi desert and begins his plans for world conquest. More recently, he has modernized his outfit into a legitimate corporation to advance his nefarious agenda. Perceived as a culturally insensitive "yellow peril" stereotype in collusion with the Chinese government, a true rendering of the character would have prevented distribution of "Iron Man 3" in the lucrative Asian market so the Ten Rings became a logo and the Mandarin himself became a joke. Feige attempted to correct this egregious misrepresentation in the One-Shot "All Hail the King" and the movie "Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings" but still came up short. Shane Black, who directed RDJ in the excellent neo-noir "Kiss Kiss Bang Bang", handles this entry as if it were more of a techno-thriller than a clash of armored titans like the last two. It's a smart move and a faithful translation of the source material which has Tony out of his armor for most of the film! The relationship with young Harley is amusing and affecting presaging his mentorship of Peter Parker. The destruction of the Malibu mansion and the human chain skydive rescue are thrilling highlights! The cast, as always, is excellent headed by Robert Downey, Jr. playing Tony Stark aka Iron Man for the fifth time now accompanied by his regular stable of Don Cheadle as Col. James 'Rhodey' Rhodes rebranded as Iron Patriot, Gwyneth Paltrow as Virginia 'Pepper' Potts, Jon Favreau as Harold 'Happy' Hogan and Paul Bettany as JARVIS. Paltrow, in particular, gets to perform some amazing action both in and out of some armor! Ty Simpkins as the young Harley Keener, in whose cluttered garage runaway Tony flops, is excellent as an unwitting, pint-sized therapist. Shaun Toub returns for a Yinsen cameo set in 1999. Guy Pearce plays a lean and hungry Aldrich Killian nursing a hateful grudge with a perpetual sneer and running two evil organizations: his company, Advanced Idea Mechanics, which fronts for a mock Ten Rings terrorist cell. Ben Kingsley does a menacing job as the Mandarin and delivers a brilliant comedic turn as sleazy Trevor Slattery. The lovely Rebecca Hall is appropriately tragic as the spurned Maya Hansen. James Badge Dale is savage as the lead Extremis operative Savin. Stephanie Szostak, as another Extremis goon named Brandt, has a vicious throwdown with Tony. William Sadler plays President Ellis, a role he reprises in "Agents of SHIELD", and Miguel Ferrer plays treacherous Vice President Rodriguez. Character actors Spencer Garrett and Dale Dickey have bit parts as a Tennessee sheriff and barfly, respectively. TRIVIA: 1. Shane Black sets every movie he directs at Christmastime and "Iron Man 3" is no different. EASTER EGGS: 1. The dragon tattoos on Killian's chest are of the Makluan dragon and Iron Man antagonist Fin Fang Foom! 2. The red, white and blue armor and Iron Patriot moniker are references to when Spidey villain Norman Osborn wore the suit in command of the Dark Avengers! 3. The company the accountant hostage worked for, Roxxon, is the Marvel Comics equivalent of Exxon, a multinational petrochemical juggernaut! CAMEO: 1. Stan Lee appears as a gleefully generous judge of the beauty pageant issuing a score of '10'! END-CREDIT SCENE: 1. Tony recounts his adventure to a half-asleep Bruce Banner who protests that his doctorate doesn't qualify him to practice psychiatric therapy before Tony ignores him and goes on an even deeper dive into his childhood! The gag reveals that the entire movie has been a flashback from this session! The next chronological stop in the MCU are the first seven episodes of Season 1 of "Agents of SHIELD" followed by the One-Shot featurette "All Hail the King" in which we catch up with Justin Hammer and Trevor Slattery in jail. The featurette is found on the "Thor: The Dark World" blu-ray or on DPlus.
@@dracoargentum9783 Roxxon was a car sponsor in the Grand Prix race in Iron Man 2. There's a Roxxon gas station in the Marvel One-Shot short featuring Agent Coulson - "A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to Thor’s Hammer" (bonus featurette in the Captain America: The First Avenger DVD). Besides Cloak & Dagger, Roxxon also shows up in the tv series Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., Agent Carter, the Netflix Daredevil series (now on Disney Plus) and the Disney Plus Loki series (as Roxxcart).
Totally agree with you about this film and Thor The Dark World is not well liked although I loved it and it is actually pretty important later on but from there things get AMAZING!
I didn’t think he was that generic, just evil lol. Not even that unrealistic unfortunately - aside from all the wild experimentation etc.! Petty, creepy, and megalomaniacal. I thought he was referring more to the fakeout Mandarin villain, though I suppose he was also Killian in a way.
Your expression when Pepper fell and then when she came back out... they were hilarious!

Ill look into it!
Forget his roles as Ghandi and in Schindler’s List. Trevor Slattery was definitely the role of Ben Kingsley’s life. 😂
Lol I've never seen that.

Hes definitely my favorite so far !
Your reaction when you thought Pepper died was the best part of the reaction video!

I couldn’t help but love Trevor 🥰

31:13 MMM what you sayyyyy
Great reaction mate 👍🤘
Iron Man 3 is the best iron man movie!
Idk i dont think thats how id rank em lol
@@TravisViews lolll. Well everyone has a different opinion. I just liked the fact that they showed that even hero’s have mental illnesses.
you telling him to chop the heads off the bad guys lol you've been watching Supernatural
LMAO
You should watch the Marvel One-Shot: All Hail the King before moving on to the next film. It's short, like 15 mins.
I watched Iron Man 3 myself just recently. Considering I've only seen it once, I don't have much to say.
Lol okie
ALL the Marvel movies? Even Ghost Rider and Fantastic Four? 😈
Daredevil Movie... now there's a challenge!
Tony Stark is the best Avenger
I love him
I agree that the story on 3 seemed less engaging for some reason. My favorite is 1.
Totally agree with you about this film and Thor The Dark World is not well liked although I loved it and it is actually pretty important later on but from there things get AMAZING!
Guy Pierce is an excellent actor. Don't hold it against him that his character in this movie wasn't so interesting, just sort of a "generic evil".
I didn’t think he was that generic, just evil lol. Not even that unrealistic unfortunately - aside from all the wild experimentation etc.! Petty, creepy, and megalomaniacal.
I thought he was referring more to the fakeout Mandarin villain, though I suppose he was also Killian in a way.
