I'm going to see Iron man 3 tommorrow, so i will try to give a review afterwards without giving away too much. Also, my local Regal cinema is having a Iron man Marathon on May 2nd. Starting at 1pm will be Iron man, then Iron man 2 followed by Avengers and then at 9pm will be Iron man 3. Thinking seriously about going to it as well. seeing movies on the big screen is such an experience i hate to miss the opportunity!
Iron man 3 will be epic!

Are you seeing a screening at work or is it actually showing at the Regal already??! I thought it opened next week?
What are they charging for the marathon? and does it include pop corn and drinks or anything else?
Thanks for the heads up.

$35.00 for the marathon and i dont think that includes anything other than admission. Tommorrow there is a private screening at the regal for the IronMan 3 crew, studio staff and dignitaries from the Governor on down to local political leaders. The movie opens to the public officially on May 3rd, but the early screening on May 2nd as part of the marathon will be the first public showing.

Looks like Iron Man 3 has broken highest weekend opening box office which is promising!! Can Star Trek beat it?

The movie opened earlier overseas for some reason. I saw the movie today at a special screening. I was surprised that former Senator Christopher Dodd, who is now President of the MPAA gave a speech, along with the Producer of the film. Many dignitaries were there in attendance. This is a movie that makes you think, its about Tony Starks journey to find himself and whats important to him. I dont think ive given anything away or spoiled it for anyone. I am going to see it again before i give a final judgement on the film. There are a lot of negative reviews on IMDB, and i can understand why. This is not the Avengers, and its not IronMan 2 either. Many will not like it, and many will. I am not sure which camp i am in yet.

Anyhow, I guess my point is I don't put too much stock in imdb, or rotten tomatoes.
One the things that will be interesting is to see how box offices does after the opening. If it falls off shapely, then it typically means people were excited for it but it left them cold, as the teens and twenty something's will go see it multiple times if they like it.
It sounds like it caught you off guard a bit VF? Tat it maybe wasn't quite the movie you expected?

I agree about Avengers. I'm still looking forward to IM3, and will def see it in the theaters.

I went to the IronMan Marathon today which was four movies long, with Avengers and IronMan 3 in 3D. I had a blast seeing IM 1 , IM2 , Avengers and IM3 on the big screen all together. I have to say now that i have seen the movie twice, that a major twist about half way through the movie disappointed me. There was plenty of action, and i enjoyed it but it could have been so much better. I cant elaborate without spoiling, so i wont. I liked the movie well enough to add it to my Bluray library when it releases. Saw the New Thor Trailer just before IM3 and it looks spectacular!

Thanks for the update! I too liked the the new Thor trailer. The 1st Thor was a bit disappointing to me, and I'm hoping this one hits a better stride! I'm planning to go see it Sunday.

Oh my. I just saw IM3, and... I'm sorry to say... its not very good
I'll say the rest under the "spoiler" since I have gripes that will give plot away.

Gothneo, would that mean much to someone that did not follow Iron man in the comics, etc.... I never did so I'm wondering if that will be a something that will affect me watching it tonight.

No... I don't think it will matter in that respect. I will say it's just not necessary, I thought it a bit of waste actually, and again I won't say more why w/o spoiling.
I don't think its the worst film of the genre by any feat, but I found it a disappointment.
Also, the 3D added nothing for me. I'd say save your cash and see it in 2D.

Gothneo, i agree with you. I never followed the comics and really had no idea of the history of the villains, but it still disappointed me the way it turned out. I think Jon Favreau should have directed, or maybe Joss Whedon, but i think it was the Directors fault here.

As i said in another post, even not following the comics the twist affected me because of the trailer build up. I dont know what your feeling will be about the movie tonight, but the build up by the trailers had me really stoked, but that pretty much was extinguished when the twist happened. Lot of good stuff still there but left disappointed.

I liked Thor, but for some reason when they were on Asgard it was hard to make out certain things with the lighting being to dark. The same can be said more so when they go to that other realm.
