RobinHood26 Posted May 5, 2013 Share Posted May 5, 2013 Right now, it's 420 for me and an hour before the show.. Pack a bowl, head to theatre for the 6:45PM show and relax........ Now thats how you do it! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kitik Posted May 5, 2013 Share Posted May 5, 2013 crowd loved the twist and found it hilarious And that's what saves it. It's not just a twist where they go "ha ha, fooled ya" and then they move on to the next plot or part of the storyline. You get the twist and then you get to laugh about it for the next 20 straight minutes whenever Trevor is on screen. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mattrek Posted May 5, 2013 Share Posted May 5, 2013 We saw:-2001 (all time classic)-Time Of The Robots (Somebody strung together footage from a bunch of old serials to try to make a funny movie. It didn't work.)-Safety Not Guaranteed-Inception-La Nave de los Monstrous (with no english subtitles!!!!!)-Vanishing Waves (A really cool brand new Lithuanian film. We really enjoyed it, but be warned, it's got a lot of nudity in it.)-Dr Cyclops (1940)-Upside Down (I've been wanting to see this for the past year)-Space Milkshake (brand new comedy with Kristin Kreuk, Amanda Tapping, Billy Boyd, and a bit of George Takei. A few laughs.)-The Monolith Monsters (1957)-Dr Strangelove (another classic)Plus we mixed in some episodes of some crazy ass tv show called Danger 5.That is the strangest array of movies I've ever seen. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fishstick Posted May 5, 2013 Share Posted May 5, 2013 Twist was bloody awesome. Anyone who shits on the twist and not on Extremis, which is the only shit-worthy thing, has no sense of humor and genius. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sam Posted May 5, 2013 Share Posted May 5, 2013 Completely agree. Twist rocked. Extremis sucked. I hope that it is revealed in TA2 or so that Tony took Extremis (the better version of course) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redfirebird2008 Posted May 5, 2013 Share Posted May 5, 2013 I hope that it is revealed in TA2 or so that Tony took Extremis (the better version of course) I'd rather see them not even mention Extremis again. Just a lame plot altogether IMHO. They can do better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pehaps some people thought Ben Kingsley played an amazing role till the twist. He became a joke along with the rest of the movie. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He played an amazing role after the twist too. That's why it's great. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the computer-brain thing would be cool for Tony to build on. Especially as a new way to control/power the suits from within himself, now that the arc reactor is gone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishstick Posted May 5, 2013 Share Posted May 5, 2013 (edited) He played an amazing role after the twist too. That's why it's great. This. The twist ddin`t turn Mandarin the villain into a joke because Trevor wasn`t Mandarin to begin with. This is totally different from turning a real villain into a joke. Which is why the twist is so brilliant. "Mandarin" was so OTT like an actor and than turned out he indeed was, as opposed to being a real villain who behaves in such a stagey OTT way. It`s a sly dig at that sterotype that ask us to suspend the disbelief that a real villain would be so Edited May 5, 2013 by fishnets 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The rest of the movie couldn't be taken seriously even when pepper "died". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ddddeeee Posted May 5, 2013 Share Posted May 5, 2013 I knew the twist beforehand and even then I was thinking during the broadcasts that this was pretty heavy stuff. On repeat viewings I just couldn't stop laughing. 'Chiiinese theeeaytorrr' 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Twist = awesome. Extremis = the tesseract in the Avengers and the arc reactor in Iron Man. Probably the worst thing about the movie, but I'll roll with it if this much fun stuff is going on.

Only bad part of IM1 is the fact that the climactic fight feels like a Transformers movie. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
