FYI, the teaser is for that Avengers movie, not Iron Man III
Actually, I believe the teaser for the related Thor movie that will also be a tie in to the upcoming Avengers movie. However, I could be wrong. And hopefully Thor will be more than a consultant in the Avengers movie (which is upcoming...eventually).
Did you catch the not so subtle Captain America prop placement? Funny.
I have to disagree with the 1 3/4 thumbs up. This movie had a decent story line that was accessible and easy to follow, with some personal drama, and some serious explosions. It did not conform to any one occurance of the Iron Avenger, however it did stay fairly true to the character and especially consistent with the first movie.
The new Rhodes (one of the only characters not to return to their roles) did a nice job.
My brother picked that the final boss battle seemed quick, although it did seem logical. I somewhat agree, although the battle to the final boss (whiplash/Ivan) was nice.
I'm not a huge fan of the Marvel Ultimates black Nick Fury, because I like the original better, however, in this case I felt Sam Jackson did a great job.
So why did I disagree with 1 3/4 thumbs if I'm praising it this much? Because I think it warrants an entire fist of thumbs! Great super-movie.
With the opening and international box office numbers that IM2 just posted...it is safe to say that a 3rd one is in the works. If it wasn't last week it will be by next week.
