Alright, I’m finally through Phase 1 in my “Road to Infinity War” watchathon. At the time leading up to Iron Man 3’s release was quite the time for me as an MCU fan. First off, I remember Comic Con 2012 was like the first time I really followed the news that was coming out of it, and I remember reading the descriptions of the Iron Man 3 footage with the Mandarin and Tony Stark’s house getting destroyed. Then came the trailers and I was probably the most annoying kid in the school because that’s all I would talk about in and out of class. Then the Friday the film came out I went to the movie with a bunch of my friends, played some basketball, and went to a school dance, so it was a pretty good day for 8th grade me. Anyways, I always like to look back on my life and where I was during these films release. Anyways, I’ve had a love/hate relationship with Iron Man 3. When it came out I thought it was the coolest thing ever, then I watched it a few times and I really started to not like it. So I was pretty interesting to see if my opinion on this film has changed after revisiting it today since I haven’t seen it after watching Stark’s last couple appearances in the MCU.
Good: Now I’m a big Shane Black fan, Kiss Kiss Bang Bang is awesome and The Nice Guys is amazing, so that being said I really enjoy Iron Man 3 as a Shane Black film. Black’s signature style of humor works perfectly with Iron Man, like Black was meant to direct a film with Tony Stark. Speaking of Stark, one of the most interesting aspects of this film is how it deals with Stark after the events of the Avengers. We’ve seen him deal with a more physical illness in Iron Man 2, but this time he dealing with anxiety and stuff that in his head, a problem that someone who’s so handy in fixing concrete problems is not used to at all. The best part of Iron Man 3 is that Tony has built all these suits, which is great for both setpieces and plot as his excuse for him dealing with anxiety and not sleeping, that aspect of the film felt so true to the character for me. Now I was so onboard sitting through the first hour of this film, I liked all the Mandarin stuff and Tony Stark doing some detective work, Shane Black is really good at detective stuff. The first act setup is so great because it seems like its setting up this high scale 80s detective movie with a man in an iron suit fighting terrorists. Imagine how cool this movie would’ve been if it ended with Stark and all his suits facing off against a real Mandarin and the Ten Rings back in Afghanistan where it all started back in Iron Man one, I think it would’ve been a good final act, but that’s not to say that not everything is bad in the final third of the film. Last time I watched this film, I was not a fan of how most of this movie Stark is not in the suit, but now after seeing him in action in Age of Ultron and in Civil War, I’m okay with this film being a bit different for the character! Finally, I’d like to talk about him blowing up all of his suits in the end. I remember being very pissed off and confused by that fact, but now I understand it. The act wasn’t him saying he was being Iron Man forever, it was just him getting rid of the obsession of Iron Man, because like he said at the end of the film, he’s still Iron Man no matter what.
Bad: Now the most serious problem I have with this movie is the villain. This movie very mishandles The Mandarin and AIM. You have the most iconic Iron Man villain and an organisation that is only second to HYDRA in the comics in this film and they are both completely wasted. Marvel claims that they didn’t want to offend asian audiences with the Mandarin character, but now after seeing Marvel handle characters who are huge stereotypes in the comics in their films like Batroc the Leaper, and M’Baku the MAN APE, I think Marvel could’ve found a better route to making the Mandarin a formidable villain without making Ben Kingsley into an actor and having the real Mandarin be this weird white dude in Guy Pearce.
Overall, I have started to regain a little more respect for Iron Man 3, in fact I have to say I enjoyed this film a lot more than the last time I watched it. Last time I watched it, I had no concept of Stark in Civil War or in Spider-Man: Homecoming, so I thought to myself “THIS is how we’re going to end Stark’s story?!” where in reality, it’s not over yet! That being said, I would really like to see a proper ending to the Iron Man franchise and a good send off to Robert Downey Jr. as Tony Stark that’s not in an Avengers film, he deserves his own film for a satisfying conclusion to the character, like Logan! Anyways, Iron Man 3 works as a fine middle film for Tony Stark between the first Avengers and Age of Ultron, but I definitely won’t remember it as one of the greats of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. So for these reasons, I’m going to give Iron Man 3 a 7.5/10. Let me know what your thoughts are on this film down in the comments below, and hey, this is my last non-re-review (gotta reword that) for an MCU film, so make sure to stay tuned next week for my re-review of everyone’s favorite MCU film, Thor: The Dark World!!... wait a minute...
Introducing my newest addition...Of all the dolls I have ever wanted over the years, she seems to be the one that has been the hardest to acquire. I fell in love with the coloring of these fabulous #3 Ponytails very early in my collecting... Something about the softness of the brown eyeliner and the way most have paled to such a beautiful ivory complexion. I have a Blonde #3 with the Brown liner and a factory braid, and she is absolutely gorgeous. She was a very lucky find a few years into my collecting...all original and with her box and liner. Well because she was such a stunning example, my Brunette #3 had to be just as beautiful...this is why it has taken so long. Now, I have come across MANY over the years and I have been outbid or the price was just way too high. So, I have been waiting and searching for the perfect one, and here she is! All original, box, stand. Missing the liner, but I can live with that... her face and hair are beautiful and I could not be happier... well worth the wait!
Ah, iPhone, I love thee so. Thou hast been there for me for more than a year now and we have a year or so left together before I replace thee with a newer prettier model. True love <3
now three little monkeys sat on a coconut tree
discussing things has they are said to be
said one to the other, now listen you two
there is a certain rumour that cant be true
that man descended from our noble race
the funny idea is a big disgrace
no monkey ever deserted his wife
nor her baby and ruin her life
I said yeah... Monkey speaks his mind
and another thing you will never see
a monkey build a fence around a coconut tree
and let all the coconuts go to waist
forbidding all other monkeys to come and taste
now if i build a fence around this tree
starvation will cause you to steal from me
I said Yea... the monkey speaks his mind
here is another thing a monkey wont do
go out at night and get on a stew
or use a gun a club or a knife
to take another monkey's life
Yes man descended the worthless bum
but my god brothers from us he did not come
Yeah... The monkey speaks his mind

Ich wünsche euch eine wunderschöne nächste Woche!
thx a lot for your comments.
Slijmige spijkerzwam
Found these rare mushrooms on a cemetry. In Holland they're called 'spijkerzwam' which means; nailfungus. The flat cap and the diagonal gills coming together in some sort of noch makes them look like a nail.

Interesting side comment on this. Some Russian page tried to show it but got banned by some "control" there.

Duga-3, the abandoned and previously secret Soviet radar station close to Chernobyl. 500m long, 150m high and made of 14,000 tons of rusting metal but somehow beautiful.

I think she looks cuter/better with Sophie's wig, I wish I could find one for her.
