C&C Retrospective - Iron Man 3
The First in our Phase 2 lead-up to Age of Ultron!
By Dan Uppington
“It's the end. The end of the path I started us on.”
Tony, Tony, Tony. You had to play Gepetto didn't you?
Well if he didn't, then we wouldn't be bestowed with Avengers: Age of Ultron at the end of this month. A film that, from watching the trailers (the first of which I played on repeat roughly 20 times over), could easily outshine the tremendous triumph and prosperity of Marvel’s Avengers in 2012 (some Assembly of UK name rights required). So in the spirit of the imminent sentient apocalypse Ultron and his Ul-drones (patent pending) have prepared to leave the world screaming, I am revisiting the blockbusters of Marvel Phase 2 every Wednesday leading up to Age of Ultron to keep our beaks plenty damp. We’ll be looking at Thor 2: The Dark World, Captain America: The Winter Soldier, and Guardians of the Galaxy. Not a weak entry in the bunch and have all brought their best to the ring. We will start with the true heavyweight superhero. Literally. He wears a suit made of metal. We begin with Iron Man 3.
Another Iron Man film, another awesome battle suit! |
Chilling. Marvel style. |
The popular Extremis storyline was taken straight from the comics |
Through this, Iron Man and The Mandarin are bound together and neither will rest until the other’s world is torn apart. But in a world of false faces and iron suits, will obscurity triumph over revenge and retribution?
Tony Stark spends a lot of time getting owned in this flick |
Stark gets plenty of time to shine outside the Armour |
Ben Kingsley's role in the film divided fans |
The "real" Mandarin proved too much for Iron Man to handle |
Although seemingly cured, will Pepper's powers resurface in the future? |
