Coming out of Iron Man 3 I’m reminded
of a straight A student who begins the year with so much potential
but slowly lets it all fall apart by graduation after letting their
potential success get to their head and partying too much.
The writing in the movie seemed lazy to
me. The lackadaisical attitude that was built in to Tony Starks
character has now become the lackadaisical attitude of the writers
showing through Tony Stark. Theres a fine line between a well
scripted lazy character and just plain a lazy scripted character.
There were too many “I got nothing's” and “You got me's” and
“whatever's”. Yea these are funny, but thats not what i expect
from the third iron man movie. Its like watching stand up comedian go
up and just play off their own failure as a writer, which is a very
important skill to have for when you try and fail as a writer, but
nobody is ever going to want to pay to see someone talk about how
lazy they are for not writing anything clever. This is where i feel
Iron Man abused the trust of the people that payed to see it. Did
most people like that movie? Of course. But most people also liked
the first movie and it wasnt because the writers swung from one main
stream reference to another. It was because they succesfully merged a
superhero with that douche bag from highschool you secretly loved,
despite his arrogance and ego. The ending also left me a little
confused. At the end of Return of the King the cast didnt
collectively take off their costumes and stop larping in the
countryside, but thats all ill say. Lastly i just want to say that
theres a scene where the Iron Man suits glove pulls Tony Stark to
safety. This is totally a knock off of the part in Aladdin where
genie saves Aladdin from drowning.
