Iron Man 3 Midnight Madness
Hello there! Welcome to the fourth episode of Marvel Universe Fan Blog! Well here's some good news: I got to go to the midnight showing of Iron Man 3. I must say before I say anything else that Iron Man 3 was an epic movie. It was definitely worth that long wait. In this episode I'm going to write all about the movie. Be warned, there is going to be a LOT of spoilers. So if you haven't watched it yet and you don't want to know what happens, don't read this. Well I got to the movie theatre around 10:30 pm. The waiting line was already pretty long and I had to wait for an hour and thirty minutes. (I played Super Mario Bros. 2 on the Nintendo 3Ds while I was waiting) Around 11:45 pm, they let us in the theatre. Strangely, the midnight showing wasn't in 3D and I was a bit disappointed. But I'll go watch it again and hopefully watch in 3D. Anyway, I got some good seats and it was several minutes until they started playing the preview. What was really exciting was to see the Thor 2 trailer up on the big screen. It got me more excited to go see it this November, I'm surprised they didn't play The Wolverine trailer. So then the movie started and I became really excited. It opened up with Tony Stark speaking about the "old days." Then it showed a flash back from 1999 in Switzerland, it was New Years. Tony Stark was there with Maya Hansen, Happy Hogan, and Aldrich Killian. Yinsen was also there. If you remember from the first Iron Man the man in the cave with Tony said he met Tony some years back in Switzerland. Yinsen looks a bit different in Iron Man 3 but if you look closely you'll remember him. After that Tony meets Aldrich Killian. Killian talks to Tony about the "Advanced Ideal Mechanics" or A.I.M. Tony then tells Killian to meet him up on the roof in five minutes. But Tony never did show up. So then the rest of the story is based around Christmas time after the events from The Avengers. Tony is down in his "workshop" (or armoury) putting some sort of technology in his arm so the Mark 42 can track it somehow and the assemble on to him in separate pieces. (Honestly I don't really know what he was putting in his arm. That's what I just assumed he was doing) Then he goes through a test with the Mark 42. And let's just say it could have gone better.
I don't want to give the whole movie away so I'll make this next part brief and I might skip some parts. So then Pepper meets Aldrich Killian again and he shows her what he's been working on. Happy get's a little suspicious but then Tony calls him on his ipad. (And at this moment we realize that Happy Hogan is not a super technology genius) Happy tells Tony he's a bit suspicious of this guy that's with Killian. His name is Savin and he's a bad guy. Savin then goes to the Chinese theatre I believe. Savin injects this other guy with Extremis. Then as Savin's leaving he runs into Happy whose been following him. The man injected with Extremis then explodes. (Yes explodes.) Happy is badly injured but since Savin has been injected with Extremis he survives and get's away. Happy is then in the hospital and is visited by Tony. But Happy goes into a coma, so then Tony get's upset. When he walks outside there are a bunch of news reporters. Then, as Tony's about to get in to his car this guy asks a really awkward question: "So when are you going to kill him?" (Meaning the Mandarin) So then Tony sends "a holiday greeting" to the Mandarin. Tony goes on about revenge and taking down the Mandarin. And then he foolishly gives the Mandarin his address. (Like there's one person on earth that doesn't know where a billionaire lives) Then Tony get's home. He get's to work on studying what happened at the explosion at the Chinese theatre. When looking at all the attacks from the Mandarin and one attack in Tennessee had a temperature reading of 3000 degrees Celsius. So then Jarvis set's a flight for Tennessee. After that Maya Hansen arrives. Tony approaches her with the suit on thinking she's the Mandarin. At first he acts like he doesn't know her but I think he knew who she was. Pepper then comes downstairs with her bags. She's been trying to get Tony to move out of the house since he gave the Mandarin his address. So Pepper and Tony are fighting when Maya notices on the news on the TV is talking about Tony's threat to the Mandarin. Then three new helicopters are set into a position in front of Tony's mansion. The first helicopter shoots a missile right into the mansion. Tony sends the Mark 42 to assemble onto Pepper to keep her safe. Pepper helps Maya get out of the mansion but Tony is still in there. After they're safely away Tony calls back the Mark 42 to assemble onto him. Even though Jarvis warns him that the Mark 42 is not battle-ready, he still manages to take down two of the helicopters but there's one left.
But then Tony slips down into the ocean below. He's almost buried in debris but Jarvis disassembles the arm piece off of Tony to pull him out of the rubble. Now I can't quite remember but I think Tony starts to lose conciousness at this point. Later, Jarvis wakes him up while flying. Jarvis then tell's Tony that the Mark 42 has only 5% of power left. Tony then crashes in the...the snow? Tony is then getting confused and then asks Jarvis where he is. Jarvis tells him that he is in Tennessee and Tony is not very happy with Jarvis. But Jarvis tells him he arranged a flight plan but I think Tennessee is not where Tony would want to be at this point. The suit then powers down. Tony finds a gas station and sends a message to Pepper telling her that he is OK. After that Tony finds a garage to set down his armour. Then a young kid comes in... with a potato gun. The kid's name is Harley. Tony then shows him the Mark 42 armour. Tony needs help so he makes a deal with Harley. I'm going to just quickly go over this next part. So Harley get's the stuff Tony needs. Then Tony finds where the explosion he wanted to take a look at. One man was the centre of the explosion. Tony then meet's up with the mother of that man. The mother gives him a file with information on her son. Then a lady comes in and "arrests" Tony. (The woman's name is Brandit.) Then Tony sneaks off while Brandit's speaking to someone. Then there's a lot of intense action. Savin is there also. After some battling Tony manages to beat both of them, with some help from Harley. Tony then takes Savin's car, Harley wants to come with him but Tony says no. Tony then calls Rhodey who is in the middle of trying to find the Mandarin. Tony asks for Rhodey's password and username for some sort of Military database. (I don't know what it was) Even though Rhodey didn't really want to give his password, he gave it to him anyway.(It was "WarMachineRox) Tony then had to get into the database or whatever it was. There was some sort of Christmas party with news vans nearby. Tony sneaked into one when suddenly someone else came in. The guy was on the phone until he saw Tony. He tells Tony that he is his biggest fan.
But Tony doesn't have time to sign autographs, instead he asked him (I believe his name is Gary) for help. So then Tony finds that database thingy. There's then a video of people being injected with Extremis. When one person was injected with it he somehow exploded, just like in the incident with Happy. I'm sorry to interrupt but I'm going to have to stop here. I will tell the rest of the movie in a part 2 I guess. Thanks for reading though and please keep an eye out for part 2. Again, thanks for reading. Before I go I got some concept art here from Captain America: The Winter Solider and Guardians of the Galaxy. I'll have some more images next time. Enjoy and thanks again!
