Iron Man 3 will be hitting theaters in the next few weeks, and a group of individuals were able to attend an early screening of the film today. The majority of them had high praises for the film. A majority praised character development, specifically of Pepper Potts, and the comedy, which apparently is a major part of the next Iron Man film. Below you’ll find first reactions to the film taken from Twitter.
Shane Black proved an inspired choice to direct. Marvel Phase 2 is off to a hell of a start. #ironman3

Iron Man 3. Best of the series.Fantastic start to finish. Plus Sir Ben Kingsley absolutely nails It. Worth the 2 years of toil Mr. Black.

One viewer did have a negative response to the film, even going so far as to say that the film felt like “An MTV Movie Awards skit.”
So disappointed by Iron Man 3. Without being the guy who moans a Marvel film isn’t “serious enough”, it felt like an MTV Movie Awards skit.

I thought The Avengers set the bar impossibly high. Nope. Iron Man 3 is thrilling, moving, funny and hugely satisfying, with AWESOME action.

I’m still a bit in shock about how good Iron Man 3 is. I can’t remember the last time I was caught off-guard at the cinema.

We reported on the rumor of Iron Man 3’s post-credits scene being revealed, and now we’re hearing via Twitter that the scene does not connect it to a future Marvel film.
I won’t say what it is, but #IronMan3 post-credits sequence does not tease next Marvel movie.

We look forward to embargos being lifted and we’ll make sure to bring you our review for Iron Man 3 in the next few weeks.
Just last week we saw Robert Downey Jr. promoting Marvel’s Iron Man 3 in South Korea, where he hilariously performed “Gangnam Style” for a massive audience. The event kicked off what will be an intense world press tour, which will include the cast of Iron Man 3 visiting Beijing, Moscow, Munich, Paris, London, Los Angeles, and finally New York. With Robert Downey Jr. along for the ride, hilarity is bound to ensue at the many press conferences and premieres.
Marvel is definitely releasing all of its weapons as Iron Man 3 TV spots and official clips roll out daily, and we don’t imagine this trend will stop any time soon. We’re getting a little more footage than we’d like, but overall the footage that we’ve been seeing is very exciting.
Just last week it was announced by Fandango that according to a survey it performed, Iron Man 3 is the most anticipated movie of the summer. We look forward to seeing more press for the film as it nears its May 3 U.S. release date.
