Mandarin Vs Teela : What Are The Main Personal Weapons Of Iron Man?

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.

During one of the writing sessions, pearce suggested that the mandarin was a fake, and black agreed by going with making him an actor, which in turn pearce detailed as an overacting british stage performer. black explained: "who would be fool enough to declare that he is an international terrorist? if you're smart, whatever regime you're part of, you'd put a puppet committee and remain your house."

James tolkan is great as the antagonist authority figure detective lubic but he could probably play that role in his sleep. meg foster is perfectly cast as the aptly named evil-lyn and, like langella, does not make the mistake of playing her role over the top in every scene. on the other hand, chelsea field is pretty bad as teela while courtney cox is boring and rather forgettable as julie winston.

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.

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.

This was a good edition to the iron man series but very disappointing, the best thing about the movie was its humor and action, with another excellent performance from robert downey jr. and well guy pearce is brilliant in anything he does. heres the point i want to make, as a major iron man fan i think what they did with the character of the mandarin was literally a jail-able offence (spoiler alert)...marvel built up the character of the mandarin so much with the media and the trailers and of course it was just a ploy so we would be shocked that the mandarin was just a phony a distraction to the real mandarin aldrich killian( who in the comics shoots himself in the head and is just a crazy scientist), when i went into the movie i was expecting a ground breaking villain like the joker and bane in the dk trilogy..but no ironman 3 did not stay true to the comic books and ruined ironmans greatest foe, why?? mandarin is to tony stark what joker is to bruce wayne, what the green goblin is to peter parker, you ruined a great villain, and that ruined the movie for me as a life long iron man fan..

Other actors as james tolkan (who played a cliché detective who waits his retirement), neil cypher (man at arms was not that special) was solid, chelsea field (teela was not that much developed also, she was there to look good in her tight white battle-armor… ). i think that supporting actors as bill barty (who played gwildor) was good. though i also think that they made up this character, because they didn't have a budget for orko.
