SDCC '12: IRON MAN 3 Most Talked About Movie On Social Networks

The Los Angeles Times reports that Iron Man 3 and The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey were the most talked about movies on social networks during this past weekend's San Diego Comic-Con. Oz: The Great and Powerful was next, with Man of Steel and The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn - Part 2 not too far behind. This information was compiled by Fizziology, a social media research firm who looked at trends on sites such as Facebook and Twitter. However, while people were talking about these, you may be surprised at which films got the most positive reactions. Oz: The Great and Powerful came out on top, while The Expendables 2, Wreck-It Ralph, Django Unchained and Man of Steel weren't too far behind. The reason that films like Elysium and Pacific Rim don't get much of a mention is due to the fact that no new or existing footage was released online for fans to discuss. Oddly enough, Michael Bay's Ninja Turtles (which had absolutely no presence at the event) was the only film to receive more than 4% negative comments during the weekend with a whopping 28%. This talk was more than likely brought on by the reveal of the Nickelodeon series.

Really? I would have thought that it would be MOS. Iron Man is a sequel and The Hobbit a prequel but MOS is a whole new world!

Still waiting for some Iron Man 3 footage. Hallo? Anyone? Bueller? Never mind :-)

Who cares about Facebook and Twitter? Last I hear that Ironman Armor was talked about because of how crappy it looks.

When Man Of Steel trailer hit this weekend along side of TDKR it will be a very talked about trailer negative or postive.

"what the hell who the [frick] cares about this FAIL facebook and twitter sucks"

A billion people on Facebook, and half that on Twitter...I think a lot of people kind of care. And since you and I BOTH commented on this topic, WE care as well :D

This is where the buttsore will focus upon.

The same people who say it doesn't matter would be the first people to talk shit if it had supported their favorite movie.

But face it, a report said the Iron Man 3 footage was the baddest at Comic-Con. Deal with it.

I would've thought MOS also to be the most talked about except that once you think on it it is the 6th time around for Supes. I think like Spidey the fact that it is a reboot may hurt it at the onset.

I thought Iron Man 2 was boring, and I have hopes for Iron Man 3 with this cast, but...the armor sucks.

@marvel72

I actually agree with casting out each and everyone of the turds the mods banned.

Blueberryicedcoffee was a major Nolan troll on the IMDB Avenger message boards, Ilovesuperman was a belligerent asshole who insulted anyone he didn't agree with, and Ilovedcandmarvel was a total tool who pretended to be impartial.

I want to applaud them for looking at the official record and separating the idiots from the passionate fans who try to contribute to this board.

I tried really hard to record the footage. I got about 10 seconds of it then security started looking my way. I didn't want to get kicked out so I turned off my phone. I saw about 3 people around me being led out of hall h for recording.

i haven't watched, read anything from the iron man 3 panel yet. Mostly cause i figured it'd be the same old stuff marvel does. MoS was on my radar though.

@ RamonSuarez

For the record, it's called "most talked about", but it doesn't say whether it's positive or negative "talked about" and people usually tend to talk more when they are complaining.....which is why everytime I saw this kind of report I was like "really?"
RamonSuarez
RamonSuarez - 7/16/2012, 5:53 PM
Yeah, Killercroc was a total bitch. I am glad his response to my calling him out for being a POS is what finally got him canned.

Killercroc, if you read this I want you to know I take great pleasure in helping to see your sorry ass voted off the island. Bye!
