    Storyline

    Edit

    Did you know

    Edit
    • Trivia
      This is the first movie in the Iron Man franchise not to be directed by Jon Favreau, who turned down the offer for this movie in order to direct [error]. He later admitted that not directing allowed him to have more fun with his character "Happy" Hogan, saying that he was like "a proud grandfather, who doesn't have to change the nappies, but gets to play with the baby."
    • Goofs
      (at around 1h 22 mins) When Maya Hansen is threatening to inject herself with Extremis, she says the dosage is 1200cc. That is equal to 1.2 liters, a volume impossible to hold in one syringe.
    • Quotes

      [Tony sets a fire in the diner's kitchen to keep out Brandt, she just walks right through it]

      Tony Stark: You walked right into this one: I've dated hotter chicks than you.

      Brandt: [scoffs] Is that all you've got? A cheap trick and a cheesy one-liner?

      Tony Stark: Sweetheart, that could be the name of my autobiography.

      [Tony ducks out the back as his hidden booby-trap blows up the kitchen, killing Brandt]

    • Crazy credits
      Part of the closing credits are a Spider-Man 3 - Hämähäkkimies 3 (2007)-esque montage of scenes from all the three films.

    Hated it at first, I like it more each time I re-watch
    The first time I saw this movie I really didn't like it, I had just come off the high of "The Avengers" and let me make it clear, this one isn't as good. That said it is significantly better than Iron Man 2 and that's because the story is deeper and direct. There's a lot less focus on explosions and fancy effects (although there is plenty of that) and more on dialogue and character development.

    One thing I like about this movie is that you get to learn more about Tony Stark, as much as I loved his arrogance in IM1, 2 at the end of Avengers he was humbled and that continues in this one. On the one hand I love the suits and the fancy technology but it's Robert Downey's sarcasm and wit that make him so great for this franchise.

    Yes there is a big plot twist but it by no means ruins the movie and while I was not a fan of the ending, you can see where things are going towards Avengers 2.

    It may not be for you, my only advice is to make sure you watch it again. I was angry the first time I did and thought the movie was a joke, each additional time I've watched it I take something more from it and enjoy it a little more.
