Marvel Studios’ “Iron Man 3” pits brash-but-brilliant industrialist Tony Stark/Iron Man against an enemy whose reach knows no bounds. When Stark finds his personal world destroyed at his enemy's hands, he embarks on a harrowing quest to find those responsible. This journey, at every turn, will test his mettle. With his back against the wall, Stark is left to survive by his own devices, relying on his ingenuity and instincts to protect those closest to him. As he fights his way back, Stark discovers the answer to the question that has secretly haunted him: does the man make the suit or does the suit make the man?

Starring Robert Downey Jr., Gwyneth Paltrow, Don Cheadle, Guy Pearce, Rebecca Hall, Stephanie Szostak, James Badge Dale with Jon Favreau and Ben Kingsley, “Iron Man 3” is directed by Shane Black from a screenplay by Drew Pearce and Shane Black and is based on Marvel’s iconic Super Hero Iron Man, who first appeared on the pages of “Tales of Suspense” (#39) in 1963 and had his solo comic book debut with “The Invincible Iron Man” (#1) in May of 1968.

“Iron Man 3” is presented by Marvel Studios in association with Paramount Pictures and DMG Entertainment. Marvel Studios’ President Kevin Feige is producing and Jon Favreau, Louis D'Esposito, Stephen Broussard, Victoria Alonso, Alan Fine, Charles Newirth, Stan Lee and Dan Mintz are executive producers. The film releases May 3, 2013, and is distributed by Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures.

This is what happens when you release a movie everywhere in the world before the US, the entire world sees it and spoils it for the Americans. At least knowing the twist ahead of time will soften the blow when I actually see it on Thursday.

marvel72 - 4/30/2013, 7:16 PM
bit of false advertising,kingsley was brilliant in the role.

Way to get our hopes up Feige, give us a decent version of The Mandarin or don't do him at all. Seriously, they could have just made Killian and the Extremis Soldiers the villains without creating all this Mandarin BS. Hopefully Thor TDW won't dick around with the audience.

I just burst out laughing when they revealed the twist.
The Iron Man franchise peaked with Iron Man.
Just stop giving him solo movies because none will come close to the first movie.

I guess it's all downhill from here with the Ironman series. Might as well call it a day.

I think RDJr should be cast as James Bond...... Really see the movie IM3 and you'll think about it

I didn't like the twist either when I heard it cuz I was really liking what Kingsley did with The Mandarin but I understand now why. Killian had a personal vendetta and he is actually The Mandarin. Even though he doesn't look like him he is him. He even created the idea of him! He's just the evil version of Tony. Tony made the iron man suit and Killian made the extremis. Still wished Kingsley would of been the creator but I get it. Also in a way they creates each other. They just used the Osama conspiracy that he was just a actor and the government was the real bad terrorist! Btw I'm not spoiling this cuz FuturePast/ Past future has already did that a few hundred times!

There's so much dumb stuff in "Iron Man 3" that I expected the credits to say, "Written and directed by Thor."

What is really funny is the ending of IM3 is so similar to the ending of Dark Knight Rises! Oh my cannot stop laughing because that movie has the same rating as IM3!
PartyKiller
PartyKiller - 4/30/2013, 7:52 PM
Wow! Bets lots of people will watch that video.
Guess at this point we're supposed to still be in the dark not knowing we're about to get ripped off.
Next time Marvel has a crap movie coming they should release it World Wide simultaneously because the buzz is blown in the US.
This is the biggest CBM dissapointment since GL.
