It seems that I have the worst luck when it comes to watching a Marvel Film in a Cinema. I always happen to be placed in the worst seating. Though being uncomfortable did not stop me from enjoying the film!
I loved it!
I laughed and I had tears in my eyes, which is basically every good director’s aim, including Shane Black’s… to make an audience feel something.
I felt as if even though the film was two hours long, it was short. This I felt because there were too many things which started, that I believe, did not end appropriately. For instance, the relationship between Tony Stark (Robert Downey Jr.) and Pepper Potts (Gwyneth Paltrow) was not exaggerated, and although this is an action film the relationship was not believable.
Other factors which were introduced but weren’t executed to a satisfactory extent were characters such as Aldrich Killian (Guy Pearce) and Maya Hansen (Rebecca Hall), issues such as Tony Starke’s anxiety attacks and the explosions which occurred (where they done on purpose under the command of Killian or where they accidental due to the glitch) and so on and so forth.
The ending of the film was too quick.
SPOILER ALERT
It basically ended in the last 3-4 minutes of the movie as this “I love you Pepper and I don’t want you to get hurt anymore so I’ll stop being Iron Man”
Which is perfectly fine, IF their relationship was believable. I mean come on, if you’re going to end a major Hero, you might as well do it properly.
All in all, I loved the film and would go back to watch it any time!
*NOTE: I only listed the negatives, so this will seem bias. But this is definitely a great film and all who have followed Iron Man should definitely watch this*
Why be Bias?
