Iron Man 3 wasn't good at all.
Having yet another business villain who's ultimate goal was to take over Stark's enterprise was so drawn out by that point.
And then Guy Pierce breathes fire and Don Cheadle just goes "really?" but then it cuts so we don't see how the fuck he escapes...no desire to rewatch.

Funnily enough, I preferred Iron Man 2. At least it didn't drag.
Still a bad action movie though.
MCU might never reach the heights of Iron Man and The Avengers.

How many times has the thread cycled back to debating Iron Man 3 now? Twice? Thrice? Lol.
IRON MAN 3 ROCKS AND IF YOU DISAGREE YOUR OPINION IS WRONG.
Do you like Iron Man 3?
You will
For some of the posts above yours, i say we're back to denial.
I feel like thats mostly an internet message board thing.

Thor > Iron Man 3.
And yeah, IM3 ruins Extremis. And the Mandarin. It's impressive, really.

Yes, it is true. Ironman 3 is truly an inferior product.

I liked IM3, but I kind of wish it came after CA2, and could have been about Tony finding out Hydra killed his parents, so he goes on a fucking manhunt across the globe taking them out.
I would want the shit out of that movie.

Having now read through all 150+ pages (full of rationalizing and shitting on MCU films to prop this one up), I'm now more excited than ever to see this. I have tickets for Friday at 8 PM at the biggest theatre in Toronto.
This is going to be a dumpster fire of the highest order. I can't wait!

Iron man 3 is not just a movie, it's a film.

Hell yeah!
How about you post the next two seconds of the gif where Rhodey surrenders like a darn punk! Stark wouldn't surrender in the face of a fire breathing man.

Does that make BvS a flipbook?
Why are you going into it with this attitude? You've already made up your mind that it's a terrible movie.

Damn, down to 33? lol. I just saw it. Loved it. Crowd was also way into it and they went insane when WW showed up. I am proud to be in the minority that likes this film.

Bring back Nolan and make TDK2. TDK was so great it should have never ended. Ever.

Maybe, but I'm still going to see it. This could honestly run into "so bad, it's good" territory. I cannot wait.

I almost guarantee you that you will be in the majority, not the minority.
It seems like if you kept an open mind about its quality (since there are plenty of people who like it), you would be more likely to enjoy it.

I actually think the majority of the audience will wind up liking it well enough.

Yeah ironman 3 is kinda like spiderman 3 to me. It pretty much killed the source material(mandarin and extremis were jokes) but I liked the movie regardless.

Rogue one maybe can. They are still trying to make a good star wars movie

Many of those older reviews are basically pre-internet when people still read stuff and critics didn't cater to anyone other than themselves. So I don't take any of those 'averages' seriously.
It should also be noted that today previously individual opinions may cater a lot more to the consensus due to people going to RT instead of the individual critic. In order to stand out and get quoted (thereby attention and clicks for advertisements) you have to be more 'edgy' than previous times would have needed you to be.
I remember the review for Starship Troopers back when it was released ('97) in our TV guide fondly because that reviewer was one of few to point out that the movie was paced fast so you wouldn't think about all the violence you were seeing, whereas everybody else was too busy booing it to notice that. It's a cult classic for a reason, and finding a good critic is even harder today than in the past. That said, at least the aggregate scoring makes it easier to point out the fakes who just review other people's reviews, which is something that happens in book reviews a lot.
I don't think RT is a good measure of criticism, shadenfreude about BvS aside.

Rotten Tomatoes has been extremely consistent for me since '99. Usually if it's a documentary, I'll completely ignore the score since it seems like critics can't seem to keep it in their pants regarding documentaries for whatever reason, but everything else has been pretty much reliable. For the most part anyway. I've found exactly one movie that they slammed hard that I enjoyed a lot, as did everyone else that I knew within my age group.
If there's something that I am interested in seeing, anything above 70% and it's usually spot on as to whether or not I'll enjoy it, and it has nothing at all to do with reading a review, and having it color my perception going in either. I've tested that time and time again. Anything considered "rotten", usually is for me.

I don't even care about the source material. I don't think I ever picked up a real comic book in my life. Iron Man 3 was just dull and too long.

Please. I know when a film critically hits 30-50% acceptance, it's going to be (at best) a polarizing film. I know exactly what I'm getting into.
Nothing said so far in this topic speaks highly at all to the film, and your attempt to dissuade me is laughable.
I know exactly what this will be, and that's why I want to see it so much. Not just for myself, but for the audience reaction.
Have you seen the film yet?
Do y'all not remember that fucking kid and his potato gun? Iron Man 3 is trash.
One of my all time favorites. Marvel failing to follow up with a decent IM movie afterwards still makes me sad.

at least suicide squad won't feel lonely at the bottom of RT scores now
You know, I'm actually pretty scared that Suicide Squad will be a lot more serious than the trailers would indicate.
This thread has officially jumped the shark. What's next, people yearning for season 2 of "The Cape"?

Iron man 2 is good
I have not seen it. I am also not trying to dissuade you as I don't even know if I'll like the movie. I just know that going into something having already formed an opinion on it is stupid.
