he wants dat paypuh
Disney are happy to pay Depp stupid amounts to keep the Pirates franchise going so no doubt they'll pay RDJ the same to keep another billion dollar franchise going.
Don't understand how people can prefer IM2 over IM3. Are people really that upset about the Mandarin.

He has found a new addiction.
Iron Man 1 is along with Dark Knight the best superhero movie for me (Avengers doesn't count imo since it's a cross over). It had great pacing, great build up and wasn't full of cheese. Iron Man 2 was overwhelming, bland and mediocre. Iron Man 3 was a serious disaster and makes me think twice to see the next movie in a cinema. So yeah, go back to the roots like Iron Man 1.I liked Iron Man 1 and Avengers.
Iron Man 2 and 3 didn't really do anything for me. The only redeeming quality is RDJ.

Sounds like RDJ is getting a raise.
Iron Man 3 was fantastically entertaining, a great action film, and a gorgeous, elegant troll of both Chris Nolan's tiresome 9/11 obsession and canon-obsessed comic nerds in general. More from Shane Black, please.
Disney give Marvel budget money, Marvel uses part of that to pay the talent.
And Marvel are staggeringly stingy. RDJ had to pull a power play for everyone to get Avengers 2 pay rises. I have no doubt that, while he wants the film to be good, he'd walk away in a second if they tried to lowball him. And Iron Man sells because of RDJ now, replace him and that huge box office dwindles to a few hundred mill at best.

A lot of people here talking about the real Mandarin appearing in IM4 as well as a lot of people upset because of how they destroyed the character in IM3.
I didn't watch the movie, was him really Mandarin in IM3 or the after-credits left some hints that there is another ''real'' one?
You can't until you see someone else actually doing it. Think Heath Ledger announced as the Joker.I hope so. He is Iron Man. I could not picture a better person for the role anymore since he brought it to the big screen. I really can't.

Imo, RDJ is passé by now.
The idea, in fact, was ingenious.I care less about the Mandarin twist and more that they squandered a good idea on shitty jokes.

Iron Man 3 was a colossal turd and IM2 wasn't very hot, either. Cap2 raised the bar on the solo movies and hopefully it wont get lowered again.
1) that's because people actually like rdj andIf this were Michael Bay responding to the question of whether or not he wanted to continue directing the Transformers series, and he responded with that...I think the responses here would be quite a bit different.
I think the people who love IM3 just paint people who don't like it as 'comic nerds who hate the twist' when in fact:
- The plot is a cheesy Incredibles ripoff
- Tony doesn't bother to make any efforts to defend his home after giving his address to the Mandarin, despite having 30+ remote piloted suits available
- The Iron Patriot suit doesn't work when the President is in it but does moments later when Rhodey wears it (don't say it knows who Rhodey is, it worked fine when the bald guy wore it too)
- Iron Man movie never features him in a functional suit
- Tacked on cheesy kid segment in middle of movie kills pacing and adds nothing to story (why does the suit need to charge if its powered by the arc reactor? How is Jarvis being shut down and later fixed? Why does this movie break so many rules established in the previous two?)
- Lame fight with Guy Pearce ultimately ended by Pepper somehow firing from a random arm that's not attached to any power source
- PTSD storyline ultimately remains unresolved
- Kid friendly script doesn't allow Tony Stark to drink or deal with his drinking problem, which would have added more depth to PTSD storyline
Jeez I could keep going. The problem with Iron Man 3 isn't that they changed the character of the Mandarin, the problem is its a poorly plotted mess that features very little Iron Man action and another lame corporate white guy villain we've already seen in the previous 2 IM movies.
Totally agreed, and I DO read comics. I've been a huge Marvel junkie all my life, but I don't care that they "butchered" the Mandarin. In fact, it was probably the first time I've been entertained by a Mandarin story at all. He's a crappy, third rate Marvel villain. If they can find a way to give Paste Pot Pete or the Mad Thinker a fun twist, I'm all for that, too.
Granted, I haven't read any of Matt Fraction's run or anything, so maybe something original and cool HAS been done with the Mandarin more recently, but cmon. No, he's not the Joker.
