In March, Iron Man 3 writer-director Shane Black raised alarm among Marvel Comics fans when he said that his interpretation of the Mandarin wouldn’t have magic rings, and would instead be closer in spirit to the Joker in The Dark Knight Rises and Colonel Kurtz in Apocalypse Now.
With the new The Crow remake coming soon, we take a look back at the 30-year-old cult classic original–and where the stars are now.
Kaam Chalu Hai Review: Based on true events, this movie is thought-provoking and inspiring
Rebel Moon Part 2 Review: This movie doesn't feel anything new or worth remembering, which is a shame.
It did work!! The movie clicking in on 1 billion worldwide.
He cant defend it. How you want to promote the movie in china but have Mandarin white and dumb. Mandarin one of Marvels smartest villains. Hell mandarin is even the name of a one set of chinese language.
Course he's going to defend it, he dosen't want his film to be known as the crappy one to comic book fans
I hate it when arseholes at Hollywood stray away from the source material.
The main problem is that fans have been waiting for them to do the Mandarin for years since the first Iron Man came out, then when we finally get him in a film he becomes a joke. I mean I could handle him not being Asian after a while of thinking it through but <Spoiler> this whole Trevor crap...I mean what the hell.
It's like Shane Black and even Drew Pearce who co wrote it spat on Iron Man fans faces.
Tbh, The "Mandarin" is already a joke of a villain, so I guess what he did was make it fit with the ridiculousness.
Kinda annoyed that Guy Pearce claimed to be the real Mandarin though.
Wouldve liked to see in Iron Man 4 or Avengers 2, the birth of the real Mandarin, perhaps influenced by the on screen Terrorist, except this time for real.
I liked it, sure it wasn't the same Mandarin as in the comics but Ben Kingsley played it well when Tony Stark confronted him and i thought it was one of the funniest parts of the movie. Plus I thought Killian was a cool villain. There were some plot holes but most movies have those these days so i just overlook them. I thought the ending was awesome with all the suits. Its my favorite Iron Man so far.
