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.

      Drafting X is like the poster board for mistakes. Hopefully, lesson learned.

      By TD alt · Posted

      Yeah, I could jump right into the unbelievable Bryce debate now that some people are trying to flip the script because Bryce Young has, at most, a handful of decent games as a pro, but that's going to work itself out. Suffice it to say that I've seen better QBs (with an s) in a Panthers uniform, and I've certainly seen better QBs be drafted while we're playing around with Bryce, one of them who beat the crap out of us already this season... Let's forget about Bryce (and his markedly underwhelming play since he's been here); I think that most sane fans will agree that drafting him was an error, but it happens. Sure, it doesn't happen to the tune of King's ransom---including your main receiver---but it happens. You bet, you lose. Speaking of receivers...and betting and losing... Oh, man, we drafted Xavier Legette. Yes, just like with Bryce, I've entered "the dark side." Some Huddlers were telling us from the beginning, and they were right. But, I'm not apologizing for waiting to see what a guy's got before making my decision on him. X was a one-year wonder at South Carolina who parlayed some really nice production that season, a great personality and thick country accent, into becoming a first round pick (but only in Carolina). For Dan Morgan and company, He was a big swing that has turned into a big whiff (and I can still feel the ill breeze from that one). Sh¡t happens, right? Well, not so fast. Ladd McConkey was the decidedly more polished receiver who was literally ready to hit the ground running as soon as stepping onto the field as a pro. Ladd was never the biggest guy (though not the smallest), but he was the guy that could run routes, always seemed to get open---no question---and had the same speed as X, but with legit quickness and nuanced shake and bake. But Dan chose the project. He chose the guy where the game speed looks more like a tractor trailer than a 5.0 mustang. Look, I've supported X (just like Bryce) many many a day, but no more. Now I'm not saying that I won't root for the guy. Just like with Bryce, he seems like a great kid. But as far as giving excuses for the kid, and, perhaps more importantly, waiting for some miraculous breakout, I'm done with that. I've seen enough. You don't draft a project for a project. And yes, Bryce had proven to be a project after his first season. In my mind, drafting a supposedly number one receiver that needs lots of development for a starting quarterback that needs immediate help to try and further his development is not going to lead to good things. Pick the surest guy. Or at least pick the one who appears to be the surest guy, because picking can be tricky... especially when you're too busy tricking yourself.

      The Bryce Young "Game Winning Drive" narrative needs to end

      Winning ain't gonna make my eyes lie to me. Context matters, and it will always matter in the game of football.

      The Bryce Young "Game Winning Drive" narrative needs to end

      That TD pass to Legette against Miami. Elite. The play where Bryce rolls right to buy time until Tet can reverse field.  Bryce pumps as multiple defenders close in.  He barely gets it away before he takes a big time hit.  Beautiful off platform throw and great catch by Tet.   The second TD to Tet against Dallas where Bryce dips and turns his shoulder in to evade the pass rusher.  Resets and finds Tet in the end zone. Dude embodies the Keep Pounding mantra.
