The first
trailer for Iron Man 3 has finally hit the net, giving us some glimpses of new
suits, villains (not quite sure if there is one or two) and storyline. I really
like the first shot of the trailer with Iron Man lying crashed in the snow, I
think that looks like a nice visual and quite different from what we have come
to expect. I also like that you can tell that all the things that have been
happening to him in the Avengers and previous Iron Man films affected him. I
did however find it distracting how obvious it was that Starks monologue was
cut together out of context and didn’t make all that much sense. We get a few
glimpses of Guy Pearce’s character, but not enough to get an idea of what kind
of character he is, but he seems a bit evil. Then we get a shot an a speech
from the films main villain “Mandarin”, played by none other then Ben Kingsly.
To be honest I am not totally convinced about him, especially when he says he
views himself as a “Teacher” as opposed to a “terrorist”… and yeah that did kind
of make me cringe and face-palm at the same time. Other then that he sounds and
looks like a pretty good villain. The moment that bothered me the most in the
trailer, was how Tony´s house was destroyed, it looked awful. It might just be
the CGI that is not completely finished, but the way it crumbled just looked
like way too much and incredibly cheesy. The trailer does however display a
great tone that I hope carries into the film, as long as they still have some
humour from Tony Stark. All in all I´m not really sure what to think, it seems
to try a bit too hard to be epic which could easily turn into a cheese-fest,
but hopefully it keeps the fine line between cheesy and epic. Iron Man 3 is
directed by Shane Black and is out on the 3rd of May, 2013
