Mandarin : What Is The Name Of The Chinese Warlord?

However i did really enjoy the comedy the mandarin brought which complimented killian aldrich's (guy pearce) evil and malevolent ways. moving on to the most important person; tony stark – played by the one and only amazing robert downey jr. he is hilarious and has brought back another astounding performance from the original iron man.

Choosing a character to be the villain of the film was difficult, as favreau felt iron man's arch-nemesis the mandarin would not feel realistic, especially after mark millar gave his opinion on the script. the mandarin had originally been envisioned as a rival to tony stark with a building of his own right next to stark industries, with the mandarin eventually drilling a hole underneath stark industries to steal all of stark's technology for himself; associate producer jeremy latchman described such story as "crazy terrible" and "underwhelming". favreau felt only in a sequel, with an altered tone, would the fantasy of the mandarin's rings be appropriate.

Sadly, the film that surrounds this wonderful piece of cinema is drowned out by a colossal red herring, throw-away characters, and wasted opportunities. special mention should also go to downey jr, because his portrayal of stark in this film is his best yet.one of the biggest gripes about the iron man trilogy to date has been its rather bland villains, especially when compared to the likes of thor or cap, whose respective villains (loki and red skull) were excellent. iron man 3 decided to resolve this problem by doing absolutely nothing to resolve it, by making a hamming-it-up guy pearce as the villain we know next to nothing about, and then by pretending- through trailers, marketing, and the film's plot itself- that the main villain was sir ben kingsley as the mandarin.
