A good superhero movie made for everyone... except the FANS!

Rating: 3/10 (18 May 2013)

Its a very conflicting movie. There is only one thing for sure, if you know Iron Man and his story outside the silver screen (like from comic- books or cartoons), the chance that you will hate this movie is almost guaranteed. Its actually damn hard to write this review cause if I put a side that its suppose to be a Iron Man movie, further more a Iron Man movie including one of the most Iconic characters of the tale (Mandarin) than I could speak about many positive things. I think the actors where amazing, the story most of the time was very creative and well put together, and overall a enjoyable movie. But I can't really do that, cause its a Iron Man movie which was promoted with Mandarin, and from this view point... its a joke. And I put this quite politely.
If you don't know a thing about Iron Man, and the original story, and just go in the cinema wanting to watch a summer block buster, you probably going to have a good time.
If you know Iron Man, and go in the cinema with expecting Iron Man will face his arch-nemesis on the silver-screen. You will hate it. And you will be right too do so.
I only give this movie 3 star cause as I said if it would be a James Bond movie for example, the plot, ideas, story, acting, visual effects would deserve at least 7 star. But since its not, and promoted it self as something which the movie fail to deliver, or deliver it as the parody of what it should have been, spiced with some very questionable decision and plot holes it would deserve actually 1 star. It really feels like the creators where flipping off the main audience they meant to do this movie for.
So to sum it up: if your a fan of Iron Man, as odd it sounds you should avoid this movie. If your not a fan, and don't know much about the world and the title character you have a good chance to enjoy what the movie has to offer.
