Awesome! With your endorsement, I’m even more excited than I already was about this movie. I’ll probably have a chance to see it sometime in the next couple of weeks.

He wasn’t as good at being Tony Stark as Tony Stark was

But…I want to pretend that I can fly around in a robot suit. And the way I do it is by watching Tony Stark do it.

Agreed about the villains. The one reason I kind of liked Rockwell was that he was very similar to Tony Stark, and yet he got absolutely no respect.

Though I do agree that the villain was remarkably lacking, I found that to be true in the 2nd one as well. Sam Rockwell, normally one of my heroes, really disappointed me in #2. And Lebowski, while somewhat more complex at the beginning of the first Iron Man, evolved into a power-hungry megalomaniac who didn’t do anything for me as a villain.

Interesting that we had such different perspectives, Jamey! I LOVED the third one. I loved it because without Iron Man (the suit) I thought that Tony Stark was able to come into his own. He was able to be a superhero without relying on his superpowers. He was able to be a superhero because he is a *good man*. I thought that this one was ultimately more fulfilling because it WASN’T just about the suit, it was about the man inside the suit, and what a man must become when he is forced outside his comfort zone.

I’m glad you two understand where I’m coming from. Some of the reviews said such wonderful things about it, and I wondered if I was missing something. I loved the director’s other work with Downey Jr. (Kiss Kiss Bang Bang), but this just didn’t vibe for me.
