    They said it would be too much to explain Mandarin getting the rings from aliens and the magical powers they have would have to be all CGI

    This is a little silly if you think about it. I mean Ironman was just featured in a movie with a huge alien invasion. It really shouldn't have taken much for them to work the alien angle into the Mandarin storyline. If anything, t his would have been a perfect opportunity to tie Thanos into it all.

    I think it could still be somewhat possible if Mandarin didnt actually know about the power of the rings... Then Iron Man defeats Mandarin.. Rings get lost somewhere.. And Thanos (in the credits scene) finds them, and eventually you see that they have some sort of power.

    I like to pause at 1:03 and 1:05 to look at all the suits in his armory. this movie follows the source material more than any other superhero movie. I also saw hulkbuster armor will the hulk have a cameo appearance?

    "Do you want an empty life or a meaningful death?" is one of the coldest lines in a movie I've heard in a min. I'm looking forward to this one.

    Looks Dark, Like that Shane Black who wrote Lethel Weapon, Last Boyscout and Long Kiss Goodnight is behind it. Also anyone saying this is biting "The Dark Knight", please, TDK bit Rocky III. The Hero getting beat up and coming back is not a new concept in film. Overall though I'm sorry I cannot take Hollywood seriously. Why are they STILL Whitewashing roles in 2012? The Mandarin is a Chinese character PERIOD? Ben Kingsley? Really? Yes he's a great actor but you aren't going to tell me in 2012 you couldn't find a Chinese or Asian actor to play the role? Cho yun fat? Ken Wantanbe? There are plenty of quality Asian actors out there. This would be like if in the new Wolverine movie they casted a white guy to play the Silver Samurai who's clearly a Japanese character. It's getting pathetic and sad. If "Last Airbender, Dragon ball and Prince of Perisa" wasn't enough. They whitewashed The Mandarin? Also even if the the character was written racist back in the day. You aren't going to write it the same way in 2012. It's a Chinese character, they aren't getting a pass from me on this:

    They did i because the Asian community (cats like John Liu, Comptroller of the City of New York, Edwin Lee mayor of San Francisco, and the Asian equivalent to the NAACP,) would say that the Mandarin is ethnic stereotype that cast Asians in bad light.

    Yeah, I know y'all think I'm bullshitting, but the Asians (the Chinese in this case,) would be right that look of the Mandarin and his motivations are the same as Fu Manchu, but that's where the similarities end. These people would bring up the The Yellow Peril arguments and all of that ? .

    The problem is Americans really don't have a negative stereotype of Asians, out of the all the ethnic groups in America, people really don't have anything bad to say about them. They see them as smart people who do really well in school, while in college major in engineering, mathematics, or computer programming. ? aren't seeing them as maniacal people out to rule the world. Asians fear that if the Mandarin were in the movie, muthafuckas great-grand and grandparents would tell them to hate Asians. As far as not having the magical rings, that's just a failing on the screenwriters part.

    Yeah the American's arent afraid of the CHINESE military, economy, technology etc etc. I mean you hardly ever hear rhetoric about how the Chinese control America's debt or anything like that. Riiiighhhhttt...

    With a little over a month until the film’s release, Iron Man 3 has revealed two of Tony Stark’s suits.

    The suits featured are the Mark XXXIIII and XL. The Mark XXXIII is described as an “Enhanced Energy Suit” nicknamed “Silver Centurion,” while the Mark XL is described as a “Hyper Velocity Suit” with the nickname “Shotgun.”

    didn't they already use the silver centurion armor in iron man 2 during the Monaco racing scene?

    this might be one of the few movies of a trilogy where the third one surpasses the first two
