I am one of those lucky Nuffnang bloggers who won the ticket to experience the Iron Man 3 Movie at Newport Cinema Resorts World. Thanks to Nuffnang a free movie date for me and husband. As usual hubby did enjoy the movie and the free large coke and popcorn too :).
Same old brand new , I am not into cartoon- like movie. I'm a lot different from those who loves watching this supah hero thingy. But nonetheless I can say the movie is worth watching. I enjoy every scene. Though I am not that familiar with the story from the beginning, it didn't made me clueless watching the part three of it. It's my husband who used to watch movies like these ( well guys will be guys I think!) He said ain't gonna enjoy the movie if it wasn't me he's going to watch it with so better to thug me along than make him look for another to thug huh. hee hee. Other than action I can say the movie is a romantic comedy like. I enjoy the gadgets, technology and the punchlines as well. I am just a little bit surprised with the leading lady named Pepper Potts. Not until I read the credits at the end that it was Gwyneth Paltrow. Both husband and I were really surprised. I never read a movie review nor the teaser not to spoil my excitement to see the full movie. So as what I mentioned the character casting did surprised me.
Teaming with Harley, a precocious 10-year-old boy, Stark investigates
the remains of a local explosion bearing the hallmarks of a Mandarin
attack. He discovers the explosions were triggered by soldiers from the
Extremis program, an experimental treatment intended to allow its users
to recover from crippling injuries. However, if a user's body cannot
properly metabolize Extremis, the user heats up and explodes. After
veterans started growing unstable and exploding, their deaths were used
to cover up Extremis' flaws by manufacturing a terrorist plot. Stark
witnesses Extremis firsthand when Mandarin agents Ellen Brandt and Eric Savin attack him.
With Harley's help, Stark traces the Mandarin to Miami. Stark
infiltrates the headquarters using a variety of home-made weapons.
Inside he discovers the Mandarin is actually a British actor named
Trevor Slattery, who is oblivious to the acts the Mandarin has carried
out. The Mandarin is a creation of Killian, who appropriated Maya's
Extremis research as a cure for his own disability and expanded the
program to include injured war veterans. Killian reveals he is the true
Mandarin and has kidnapped Potts and subjected her to Extremis,
intending to infuse her with superhuman abilities and turn her against
Stark as leverage to gain Stark's aid in fixing Extremis's flaws.
Killian has also manipulated American intelligence agencies regarding the Mandarin's location, luring
James Rhodes — the former
War Machine, now rebranded as the
Iron Patriot
— into a trap to steal the armor. Stark escapes his captivity and
reunites with James, discovering that Killian intends to attack
President Ellis aboard
Air Force One.
Remotely controlling his Iron Man armor, Stark saves the surviving
passengers and crew but cannot stop Killian from abducting Ellis. They
trace Killian to an impounded oil drilling platform where Killian
intends to kill Ellis on live television. The vice president will become
a puppet leader, following Killian's orders in exchange for Extremis to
cure a little girl's disability.
On the platform, Stark goes to save Potts, and James saves the
President. Stark summons each of his Iron Man suits, controlled remotely
by JARVIS, to provide air support. James secures the President and
leads him to safety, while Stark discovers Potts has survived the
Extremis procedure. However, before he can save her, a rig collapses
around them and she falls to her apparent death. Stark is forced into
confronting Killian and traps him in an Iron Man suit that
self-destructs, but fails to kill him. Potts, whose Extremis powers
allowed her to survive her fall, intervenes and finishes Killian once
and for all.
After the battle, Stark orders JARVIS to destroy each Iron Man suit
remotely, as a sign of his intention to devote more time to Potts. The
Vice President and Slattery are arrested. Potts undergoes surgery to
remove Extremis, and Stark to remove the shrapnel embedded near his
heart. He pitches his obsolete chest arc reactor into the sea, musing he
will always be Iron Man, even without his armor.
