Iron Man 3 sucks.

Rating: 4/10 (22 June 2013)

So I liked this film when I saw it in theatres, but now I think it is absolutely awe-full, and Iron man 3 is better, go figure.
It's funny how I hated superman all of my life, up until I saw this film. Sure there are a few complaints I have with the film, but it's still worthy of an 8 out of 10. I'll just make a quick statement about the 3D. I barley noticed it, maybe I was immersed, but there wasn't much utilization of it. The pacific rim trailer for instance, had some good rains effects, that looked cool. I'm not complaining, I'm just saying it wasn't stand out quality. There are no important spoilers, I just put it up as a precaution.
The pacing of this film was pretty bad. Kent became superman instantly, it felt rushed. His character development only shows in the flashback scenes, it felt really wonky. Maybe I was just expecting it to be similar to Batman begins or Iron Man. Trying to explain it is pointless. So Zod comes into play. He was kind of under minded in the beginning when Jor-el beat him up. Michael Shannon was a good villain, he got better as the film progressed. Henry Cavill was perfect as Clark Kent. The supporting cast was good, much better characters than any Marvel film, not trying to hate Marvel. Faora-Ul was...cool, yeah.
The atmosphere is very good, it was serious and not goofy like some other super hero films. The visual effects really didn't stand out, they looked the same as any other big budget films offerings. As I mentioned, the pacing was poorly done, it only got on track towards the end. The whole fight scene in that town was just pointless, maybe it was just showing that Zod's soldiers were stronger than Clark. The terraforming machine was a pretty scary thing, maybe it's the fact that it destroyed metropolis. How many people died during that scene, how many sky scrappers were levelled, it seemed a bit excessive way to open a franchise. Never the less, it made for a intense plot point. What else is there, the music was great, every thing just felt right.
I am looking forward to the next man of steel film, probably to see Lex Luthor, and more character development. I doubt it will be as profitable has The dark knights films or iron man.
