Intro

Go Super to Listen Go Super!

The new Iron Man movie is here! In this new movie, Tony Stark, the alter ego of Iron Man, is feeling anxious. He suffers a panic attack, but must still fight a new enemy.

Iron Man is an interesting superhero, because he doesn’t actually have any special powers. The suit makes him powerful. Perhaps that makes him more human, and can explain why Iron Man does so well at the box office.

Firstly, I liked this thought of spreading english knowledge through movies. I am a bit late to notice this tutorial but it is worth my time. This is really good.


Yeah, I’ve watched all the movies of Iron Man. All the movies hd versions are awesome. My favorite hero is Iron Man. I can’t explain the reason, but I just liked the stunts and attitude of the character. Other superheros are also cool, but I particularly like this one.


Keep this kind of stuff coming. Thank you!

I have seen many of superhero films and I had seen the Iron Man 3 2 weeks ago. The article about the human side of Iron man is right that Iron man is just a human originally, who invent an intelligent metal suit for himself to be a superhero. Deeper focus on the humanilty of Tony Stark in the Iron man 3 this time may not grant more applause though the scene of many different cool type of iron man showed up in the end of the movie. I think the audience prefer to watch the tactics the Iron man used to beat the enermy, an upgraded Iron man suit, gorgeous fighting scene mostly, etc. In addition, the power of Mandarin is obvious greater than the Iron man. The Mandarin can be undead and healing themselves quickly but the Iron man who relies on the suit solely. Such powerful enermy should not be defeated so easily. The movie should spend more time to describe the preparation and the progress to defeat the Mandarin. I am also a die hard fans of Iron man, however, Iron man 3 really put me down this time.

I’v seen the Iron Man3 last month.But before it,I haven’t seen the Iron Man movies.Like the Transformers movies,spider man movies,I think these movies have the same theme of ‘superhero’.But Iron Man3 is still excited me. Especially,when over 42 Iron mans appered at the same time.

Fortunately, I saw the Iron Man 3 last week. I thought what made me crazy about this kind of films? First, it provides many prospects about the growth of sciences. If human wears a suit which is made of iron, he can do anything using unlimited power. Second, the justice always wins the evil. Even evildoer wants to destroy a peaceful world with weapons. However, Tony Stark prevent enermies  from destroying the world anytime. Third, he often shows his love to his wife and saves child and others in spite of big difficulties. Hence, many people may give a big hand to Iron Man 3.
