I don't care if bad movies have great trailers, there's no way SS can possibly be anything less than 50%.
Right guys? It had Bohemian Rhapsody FFS

Oh please. Just because you enjoyed those films as a child doesn't mean that they were actually good. I'm sure a lot of people really enjoyed the first Mortal Kombat film. That doesn't mean it wasn't awful.

Let's be honest here. Half the people on this board made up their mind about the film as soon as it was announced. We all go in with pre-conceived notions due to word-of-mouth/reviews/etc.
The fact that the film is being trashed is a plus for me. I want to see how bad it's going to be.
Anything can happen, like who expected BvS to score less than MOS?
And it has the superior Laurence Fishburne performance.
But that was the worst thing about the trailer
That Human Torch/Silver Surfer chase was pretty cool. And so was Mr. Fantastic makin on all the chicks with his stretchy powers.
Kinda deserved TBH, best thing about it is the soundtrack.
Yeah I liked those TMNT movies despite their ratings.
There was nothing wrong with the kid unless you just like, hate kids in general.
I enjoy IM3 quite a bit but a few not so insignificant things hold it back for me
- the first 30 minutes drag
- they never explain why Jarvis was glitching
- the bad guys knock out Rhodey and then just leave him on the ground. Wut
- the armors are made of paper mache and Tony never uses a really good one
- no explanation as to why shield isn't involved when the goddamn POTUS is kidnapped
Otherwise a really fun time

Oh please, Yeah well screw your opinion on good.
Wait this is what I told the TF: The movie folks.
Whatever.

I missed the previous cycle, but I love Iron Man 3. I didn't even know Shane Black's work until my mom had me watch Kiss Kiss, Bang Bang when I visited her. Really made appreciate the film mode when it came out.
On topic though, do you think there's any chance the R rated cut could make things better? I was waiting to watch that version anyway.
Edit: the thing with the "paper mache" were pretty self explanatory imo. Tony was stressed and working on his armor non-stop and getting very little sleep. It made perfect sense to me that they were hastily built without any kind of reinforcement our quality control.

Kiss Kiss Bang Bang was a great comedy movie. I don't see what's so funny about IM3 though.
I thought that one scene where the Surfer first shows up and gets chased by the Human Torch was actually kind of cool.
Too bad everything else was awful.
The Shadow had a flying dagger with a face on it that kept biting Alec Baldwin.
That's all you really need.

It depends what the R rated cut does, I guess.
Many of the complaints are leveled at the mopey, dour heroes, and the bloat of the whole thing.
So if the R cut adds more violence and more scenes....I doubt it'll help. If it's an actual entirely new edit, then maybe some of the pacing problems get resolved? Who knows.
I wouldn't hold my breath.
Yeah, everybody has some level of pre-conceived notions, but usually it's not black-and-white "this movie is going to be incredible" or "this movie is going to be a train wreck". The reason I can't put much weight on RT is how often I've enjoyed movies that they have claimed "rotten." That doesn't mean I'm automatically going to go in expecting the OPPOSITE of what RT shows; I merely will not go in expecting it to be a bad movie.
But, if you want to approach it like you are, I will obviously not be able to convince you otherwise.

If it keeps dropping we can get into Pearl Harbor or Paycheck territory.
Great movie if you ever wondered abut Mr Fantastic's cock or how one would have sex with an rock person.

Is that kid from iron man 3 really nova and a super hero? That'll be a dumb thing to see
Iron Man 3's RT is a 79% with an average of 7/10 and a 62 Metacritic with 29 positive reviews, 14 mix and 1 negative for a generally favorable movie.
Also please, let's keep up with the Iron Man 3 is awesome cycle.

My favorite review was the HitFix video piece, where Drew McWeeny compares this as "coming out of Batman Begins, and going into Batman & Robin".
Best endorsement ever.
(And I saw B&R back in the theatres in '97. I want to see that same slack-jawed confusion.)
Given everything I've read on this film, there's no reason to assume that it will be other than deeply flawed at best. I don't have to go to the theatre to know that, but I want to go.
Frankly, I have a feeling that the film's going to need all the help it can get.

No it does not. There has never been a Fantastic Four movie. Fantastic Mr. Fox? Yes! Four?? No. Nope. Never happened.

Illness is the doctor to whom we pay most heed; to kindness, to knowledge, we make promise only; pain we obey.
Thank you for acknowledging that which few do. I always thought of Iron Man 3 like RDJr's carte blanche and he decided that he wanted to do another Kiss Kiss Bang Bang.
I liked that scene too. Truly enjoyable.
Also, the movie has the amazing Andre Braugher as stern military man. I cannot watch Brooklyn Nine Nine and not think of Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer.

So you'd watch an Iron Man 3 that was a completely different movie? So would I.

Oh, fuck everything, this is what you've done Snyder, are you happy now?
Sam Rockwell is the best part of that movie.
Indeed.

Considering that Iron Man's solo comic has been pretty terrible for awhile, it's a miracle the first Iron Man film was good.
He's the most mistreated character in Marvel by far. IM2 and 3 were just playing catchup.
