Gosh, don’t see the whole picture? The cameras were added to the cover in a symbolic way, the actual menace is more complex than “being watched while you’re walking the streets”.
Email, credit card transactions, phone calls, SMS; the Government can watch virtually any movement you do, both in real life and on the Internet. That’s the problem, not “being recorded in a public spot”.
If anything, the biggest problem with Iron Man 3 is the issue of the villain. Make no mistake: Kingsley is one of the best parts of the film. He brings his full weight and gravitas to the role, his voice taking on a strange cadence that’s just hard enough to place to be creepy, and he’s even able to wring some comedic beats from the material when called upon. But the film never really ends up delivering on the promise the initial setup makes, which left me frustrated and wondering what could have been.
This. I enjoyed the movie a lot, I really did. But the script’s full of holes about Killian and the Mandarin. It’s just like they didn’t have time to complete the arc (which actually could be an explanation).
<SPOILER!!!> You see Killian and you say “ok, you’re bad, but if it’s because Tony didn’t get much attention back in 1999 you’re just an idiot” and about the Mandarin, it’s waaay too naive, not the actual background but the way in which it was revealed. </SPOILER!!!>
Other way, I loved the movie and I will watch it again this weekend, it’s full of gags, fanservice, humor, action.
