It should be good if they don't make it into Robert Downey Jr. the movie like they did Iron Man 2. Since all of the advertising is focused on him, I'm not getting my hopes up.

Yeah, I the first one was much better and to me, this one looks more like the 1st than the 2nd in terms of storyline.

“These findings are just the latest evidence of the economic benefit that film and television production has meant for North Carolina,” said Senator Chris Dodd, Chairman and CEO of the Motion Picture Association of America. “Thanks to a reliable and refundable production incentive, North Carolinians have been able to reap the benefits of direct spending and job creation across the state. Marvel’s Iron Man 3, like so many productions that choose to shoot in North Carolina, generated hundreds of millions of dollars in spending for local businesses in dozens of communities and thousands of jobs for North Carolina workers.”

Iron Man 3 received $20 million in support through state tax incentives. This investment by the state resulted in the following economic benefits:

· $8.99 in economic output for every dollar of tax credit received by the production.

· $6.50 in Gross State Product for every dollar of tax credit received by the production.

· 102 full-time equivalent positions for every $1 million in tax credit received by the production.

· $5.20 in labor income for every dollar of tax credit received by the production.

In addition, several of the businesses hired directly by the production have reported the film to have had a significant effect during the filming period. For example, Master Craftsmen Services, a furniture restoration company, reported to WRAL that Iron Man 3 represented ten to fifteen percent of the company’s business the year in which filming occurred, and Tidewater Storage Trailers reported that roughly ten percent of its business was generated by the production of Iron Man 3 in the first six months of 2012.

Don't let that trailer fool you, the movie isn't nearly as good as the trailer is. 

 

 

Ben Kingsley isn't really even playing the Mandarin. The entire first half of the movie is so awesome with Kingsley playing this badass chilling terrorist, and then half way through the movie it's revealed that Mandarin is really just an actor and decoy that Guy Pearce's character created because he needed a distraction.  That twist completely ruined the movie for me.

 

 

There's more reasons than that why it's bad too. There's a ton of plot holes, Tony Stark is probably only in the Iron Man suit for about 5 minutes in the entire movie, the final fight had a really WTF moment, and I'm willing to bet that most people are going to think that the extremis soldiers are silly.

According to Rottentomatoes.com, out of 74 reviews from professional film critics, 89% were positive which is pretty damn high for any film let alone a comic book movie.

 

But I'll be sure to keep my expectations tamed.

 

 

If you have no problem with the spoiler then chances are you'll enjoy the movie. I was personally really let down because it was nothing like I was expecting it to be. After watching it I honestly thought that the critical reception would be identical to Spiderman 3. I'm shocked that it's been getting so much love. 

 

 

 

But if I had to lower someone's expectations without telling them the spoiler I'd definitely tell them to think Spiderman 3 because to me they're very similar in terms of how hyped they were and how let down I was after seeing them.

      2027: Sharing my thoughts on the cap without a lotta research

      No. Physical tools alone aren't enough. There are plenty of examples of draft busts to support that. Aost all of them had the physical tools and that wasn't enough. But Bryce is a perfect example of the opposite. Absolutely elite intangibles aren't enough either. If you simply don't have the physical abilities all the football intelligence and work ethic in the world won't be enough to overcome it. Just look to the sidelines every Sunday. We call those people "coaches".

      As much as I despise Billy B, his philosophy on QBs is how I would approach things if I were a GM. You always keep looking for your next starter.  He has Bledsoe, who got injured and his backup ended up being the GOAT. Even while he had that going, he kept getting his next guy and developing them. When Brady got hurt, Cassel stepped in and went 11-5 and they missed the wild card by dumb luck. Who knows how far they would have gone if they had gotten in. Jimmy Gs career started in NE. There were others, but he always kept looking.  You can't be afraid to keep looking for your next starter, but it looks like we're afraid to look for more than a marginal one. If you're going to offer a $25m contract with incentives, that screams marginal QB. It also screams you're just a transition until we find our guy. After a 10 or 11 win season, he's not accepting that offer. And then you're in a Daniel Jones situation. Do you pay for a year of success and pray it wasn't a one year wonder?  To this point, Bryce has really produced nothing, yet for whatever reason, our FO has not even sniffed at the idea that we need a real QB room with real QBs. Dalton was never starter potential, Plummer was a joke. KP certainly isn't, neither is Grier.  Our approach to the QB room needs to be one of strength not fear. Bring in guys who can compete or who you think can compete. This is THE elite position, in an elite sport, paid premium salary, where production matters. Either you produce or you can lose your job. It's not mean, it's just the reality of the position.  And I'm really just tired of our candy ass approach to it.

      If you plug Bryce onto the Pro Bowl roster you might have a chance to compete for a SB. If he's surrounded by top tier talent with a top tier defense on the other side, a field flipping punter, and a kicker good from 60+ you might have a chance. But that means you basically have to recreate Saban's Bama in the NFL and that's impossible... and Bryce couldn't win a championship in that environment either. What the Panthers didn't realize when they got so obsessed with his "PG mentality" was that what they were looking st was a "barely checks the box PG". The basketball equivalent of Bryce would be an undersized PG with marginal athleticism who can make the basic plays but adds nothing to the team in terms of elevating the overall team. Not a great shooter, not a great defender, not a great driver. Just a guy who can basically get you into the offense and be a matador on defense. Basically a placeholder while you look to upgrade the PG position.
