Iron Man 3 Review

(All Photos Copyright: Marvel Entertainment)

The Armored Avenger flies back into action in the 3rd edition of Iron Man and the 7th film in the 'Avengers' series. This could be the best action movie of the year, as well as one of the best comic book movies ever.

Shane Black had a hard job making a movie to follow the 2012 mega hit 'The Avengers'. Well, I can now say without a doubt it was a job well done. Anyone know what the film Shane Black directed was?. It was 'Kiss Kiss Bang Bang', staring the man himself Robert Downey Jr. I think that is a big part of what made this film work with a new Director.

Speaking of Mr. Downey Jr. there is really no Iron Man story he can't take on. This is his best take on Tony Stark yet. He brings the laughs and the serious side of Tony to life and pulls you into the film. Now he didn't do it alone! Gwyneth Paltrow returns as Pepper Potts and Don Cheadle flies back in as Colonel James Rhodes. Also returning is Iron Man and Iron Man 2 Director/actor Jon Favreau as Happy Hogan, I wonder how it was to act while someone else directed the series you help start. No one can forget the voice we all know, Paul Bettany as Jarvis.

New to the film are Rebecca Hall as Maya Hansen, Sir Ben Kingsely as The Mandarin and Guy Pearce as Aldrich Killian. Big time shout out to the youngest main cast new comer Ty Simpkins aka Harley Keener. Over all this cast is one of the best I've ever seen.

I always love how Robert and Gwyneth always bring the best out of each other in these films, their relationship truly comes to life in this film. The comedy stays true between Don and Robert as well, you can't help but laugh. The same is true with the pair of Gwyneth and Jon in this film. I think the one to watch out for is Ty Simpkins, I hope we will see more of him in upcoming Avengers projects. He really works well along side Robert and can really hold his own.

The special effects and the 3D are marvelous (yes I just used a word with 'Marvel' in it for this review). I don't want to tell you too much about the new suits in the film, but the special effects with the suit alone are EPIC. The filming locations make it very easy to believe in this film.

This is the best Iron Man film and well worth seeing over and over again! A great way to lead us into Phase Two of 'The Avengers'.

Iron Man 3 Funko Product Review

Iron Man 3 Funko Review

The Armored Avenger returns to the big screen on May 3rd in Iron Man 3. World Wide Blog Of Movies is getting ready for that day with the new Iron Man 3 products sent to us from Funko.

Let's start with the two Pop! Vinyl Bobble-Heads. The first one is based on the Mark 42 from the upcoming Iron Man 3. The fun part about these is that they aren't only for adult collectors, they can be fun for the kids as well. Some of the best detail work I've seen in a while on both this figure and the War Machine figure.  One of my favorite over-all movie details on these two products is on the box itself. If you look at the left side panel of the box, you will see a large cartoon-like picture of the figure but behind it is the biggest detail. You can see the new movie edition of Tony's Hall of Armor, so it even gives you sneak preview of the upcoming film.

One of the Pop! figures in this series is Iron Man's Deep Space Suit, which hints towards Tony's travels to space in Iron Man 3... Could we be meeting more heroes?

Now we move on to the Iron Man 3: Mark 42 Wacky Wobbler. Right off the bat, I notice the detail of the Iron Man helmet. The other well done detail is his over all suit, including the simple white Arc Reactor that stands out from the suit to make it seem like is a light.  As a collector, I like the fact there is space by his feet on the base. Why? Because if you find yourself able to make it to a Marvel event, that gives you a great item to get signed.



Thank you to Funko for sending these great products for World Wide Blog Of Movies to review! For more info on these and more of their fantastic Iron Man 3 products head to

Iron Man: Avengers from Fathead. Review!

Big fan of the Avengers? Well, you can now bring home the Armored Avenger! Iron Man is here thanks to the great company called "Fathead".

Now this is my second review with Fathead and I am glad to point out one fact that is the same in both. That fact is the box got here in perfect shape and the product was very well packed. Why do I point this out twice? Because I think a major part of a good business when it comes to online ordering, is to make sure the product gets to its owner in perfect shape. So two thumbs up to Fathead for a fantastic packing job.

Now on to the product itself, we will start with the main Fathead of Iron Man in his Mark VII suit. This is truly life size and lives up to the Fathead detail.  One of my favorite parts is how the Arc Reactor even has a glow to it. I like how there is a lighting effect on the metal to make it look even more like he is standing right there. The image is so smooth and detailed, which makes this product even more fantastic.

Now along with the main Fathead, there are bonus logos and even a special smaller Fathead of the Armored Avenger himself. First we have the pretty much Fathead Junior of Iron Man again in his Mark VII, this time he is in flight. This has the same level of detail as the main Fathead. Now while promoting the movie, Marvel gave each Avenger their own "A" logo design. Which is why one of the two "A" logos with this Fathead has the Arc Reactor in it to symbol Iron Man. I am a big fan of how Fathead includes the stand alone logos as part of their products. The second "A" is one of my favorites as it is the black "A" with a kind of gold/orange background. The other two movie themed items with this are the "Armored Avenger" logo and the main movie title logo. The "Armored Avengers" even has a city on the inside of the letters of "Avenger". There is even a Fathead of the Fathead logo, the cool part about this is that it is colored to fit right in with the Iron Man theme.

So again I give Fathead 5 stars for another amazing product. If you are looking for some of the greatest movie collectibles, make sure you check out Fathead!

Thank you to Fathead for supplying this product for me to review!

Finding Nemo 3D Review

Nemo returns to theaters in the 3D release of Disney and Pixar's Finding Nemo. The question is should you go see it again, if you saw the first time?

Disney's plan next to bringing out all new movies is bringing out old movie with new 3D effects. They did this with Beauty and The Beast, as well as Lion King. They worked with Pixar to bring Toy Story and Toy Story 2 to 3D for getting fans ready for done in 3D movie Toy Story 3. Now under water movies always make some of the best 3D movies, because of the effects of the sea and the fish. So the best chance for making a great 3D movie is making all about fish.

The scene with Crush in the EAC is one of the best scenes for the 3D effect. It really shows when Marlin first looks behind Crush at the rest of the Turtles. Another great scene for it was when Nemo and the gang looked outside of the tank and the camera made it look like you were one of the fish.

The cast was fantastic as always! Ellen DeGeneres and Albert Brooks played Dory and Marlin on their seach to find Nemo. They made a amazing pair and worked well off of eachother, full of laughs. Willem Defoe played Gill, along side Brad Garrett who played Bloat. Defoe played the fish who took watch of Nemo when he was in the Tank and helped him work on a way home. The whole cast was great!

So go see it! It is 100% worth your time. I think out of the remade to 3D Pixar movies so far, this is the best. My favorite Disney remade to 3D scene has to be the ballroom dance scene from Beauty and the Beast.

Here is a note to my Marvel/Avengers readers! The voice behind the shark named Anchor is none other then the face of Bruce Banner from the 2003 film "The Hulk" aka Eric Bana. A "Hulk Shark" would be a very bad thing to get angry. You wouldn't like a Hulk Shark when its angry. Don't forget that Willem Defoe is also a Marvel movie star from when he played Norman Osborn in the Spider-Man movie series.

John Ratzenberger plays fish school in this movie. Can you tell me all his other Pixar roles?

The Amazing Spider-Man MiniMates by Diamond Select Toys Review

Wish you could replay scenes from "The Amazing Spider-Man"? Well you can! With the Amazing Spider-Man line of MiniMates by Diamond Select Toys.

I went to Toys R Us and got the set of Battle Damaged Spider-Man and Lizard. There is also a sweet Marvel poster inside the box. The other figures in the Minimate Amazing Spider-Man series are Vigilante Spider-Man, Spider-Man, Peter Parker, Captain Stacy, Dr. Connors, Gwen Stacy. Now let's talk about the figures of this set.

Battle Damaged Spider-Man has the full detail of his suit including the detail of small tears and marks from his fight with Lizard, don't forget his web shooters on both arms. Now what about the man behind the mask? The Spider-Man lifts off and reveals Peter's face, his backpack and hair finish off the look. His arms move around so you can make him look like he is fighting and swinging around town trying to stop Lizard.

Now on to the darker side of Dr. Connors, aka the Lizard! What does a big green dino looking lizard man look like as a MiniMate? He looks AWESOME! Unlike Spidey in this set, Lizard is one peice other then his tail.

The set comes with one base stand, so you can switch who you are moving and who you want standing still. I can't wait to find more of this series and the rest of the MiniMates. Don't forget to check out Toys R Us for those that are only for sale at their stores.

The Amazing Spider-Man Review

Spider-Man came swinging into theaters today with the debut of "The Amazing Spider-Man", the question is... Is Spider-Man Truly "Amazing"?

In 2002 met Peter Parker who was played by Toby Maguire. We followed this Peter to the final movie Spider-Man 3 in 2007. Today in 2012 we met Peter Parker again, this time played by Andrew Garfield. I will always be a fan of Toby in the first set of Spider-Man movies, but I truly believe that Andrew is by far the best Peter/Spider-Man.

Andrew Garfield really swings into action in this role. He brings you into the movie and you feel happy and sad in all the scenes, as if you were standing along side him. I like how they show more of Peter's reaction time to his new powers, it really gives you more insight to the story's detail. I think we will be seeing many more movies with Andrew as Peter Parker, maybe even a new Avenger? He could hold his own with the Avengers and would be a "Amazing" add to a great team. (You know I had to use AMAZING to talk about Spider-Man.) The main thing I really really like about him playing Spider-Man, is the fact that he brings both the drama and comedy from both the comics and cartoons in the Spider-Man world to the movie.

Marc Webb did a fantastic job bringing the web shooting hero to life in the new film. There are a few things I found done better in this film then in the first Spider-Man series. One of those things is the story of Uncle Ben. I think Marc's movie told a better story of the man known as Uncle Ben, it makes you feel more for scenes where Ben, comes to meet Spider-Man history. Martin Sheen, does a great job as Uncle Ben. The main reason for that is because he can be funny in scenes as well as being a serious guardian figure in Peter's life.

Anyone ever watch the movie The Replacements? You know that movie about the football team starring Keanu Reeves. You have? So you remember the player named Nigel, played by Rhys Ifans. Well Mr. Ifans is back on the big screen again playing the friendly Doctor Connors as well as the not so friendly villian The Lizard. The way he can switch from calm to crazy in two seconds is one of the main reasons he is the best choice for this role. I kind of hope that we meet Doc Connors again in the future.

Emma Stone plays the smart and brave Gwen Stacy. It takes a strong actress to play the girl who has to deal with both Peter, aka the web swinging hero, and her father, aka the police captain. With a life with two guys who are well known around the city, she has to be able to stand on her own. She is strong and able to do that. Here is a question for my viewers, what would you like to see in the next movie with the story of Gwen?

This is the first time that Spider-Man has been in RealD 3D and it was EPIC! There are scenes which make it seem that you are Spider-Man as you see the view from his eyes jumping and swinging roof top to roof top. Everything jumps off the screen. I believe every movie in this series should be in 3D!

This movie gets 5 out of 5 stars, because Spider-Man is truly AMAZING!

So now on to my viewers again, comment and let me know your answer to this next question. Who do you want to see Spider-Man fight next? Also which hero do you think should make a cameo in this series?

The Avengers Review

What do you get when you put together a all star cast, a epic comic book series as the base of the story, and a great crew? You get the year's best movie. You get THE AVENGERS!

From the 2008 movie Iron Man, all the way to Captain America: The First Avenger in 2011, there as always been a hint of The Avengers. Every movie has been building up to this, building up to what could be the best comic book movie ever. This was a action packed movie from the very start.

"Let's do a head count". -Tony Stark (The Avengers)

1. Captain America, played by Chris Evens. When we first met Steve Rogers, aka Captain America, he was working along side Howard Stark and trying to defeat Red Skull. Years later he is back from his frozen fate to fight along side the son of Howard Stark, Tony! This won't be as easy as just waking up and starting a new day for Cap. Now for the second time Chris Evens, brought this red, white and blue hero to life. I was a big fan of Fantastic Four and my favorite was Human Torch played by Evens, but I have to say I like him better as the Captain.

2. Thor, played by Chris Hemsworth. The son of Odin, first came to earth after being banned from his home planet by his father. Just as he did in the last movie, Thor has to stop his brother Loki. This time, Thor, has help from the rest of the Avengers. Same as Chris Evens, this is Chris Hemsworth's second time playing the God of Thunder. He is by far the best choice to weld the Hammer of Thor.

3. Iron Man, played by Robert Downey Jr. In 2008 we saw when Tony Stark first put his Arc Reactor to the test while trying to rid the world of the weapons he built, but the Arc isn't only for powering weapons it keeps him alive as well. Robert Downey Jr. is funny and fast talking in real life, bring it into this role and he makes the best Tony Stark. Here is a fun Avengers fact: Robert Downey Jr. was the first person ever to play Iron Man in live action. This is not true with these three Avengers, Hulk, Captain America, and Thor. Another fun fact: The first time Thor was played in live action was along side Hulk in the Bill Bixby series.

4. Hawkeye, played by Jeremy Renner. We only met Hawkeye for a short time in Thor, so it is really hard to talk about his story without saying too much about The Avengers story. I can talk about the man behind the bow and arrow, Jeremy Renner. It takes a lot of hard work to bring a full movie role to life with very little background from the past movies, Renner did that hard work and was perfect.

5. Black Widow, played by Scarlett Johansson. We first met Natasha Romanoff in the 2010 film "Iron Man 2", where she was on a mission from Nick Fury to keep an eye on Tony Stark to learn more about him and if he would be a good fit on the Avengers team. Scarlett Johansson and Jeremy Renner played well off eachother in the new film and their story really brings in the rest of the background infomation on them you didn't know.

6. The Hulk, played by Mark Ruffalo. We first met Bruce Banner in the second Avengers movie "The Incredible Hulk" in 2008. Now in that movie Bruce was played by Edward Norton, so unlike the others in the movie this was Mark's first time as this Avenger. I am a huge fan of Mark's role as Bruce aka The Hulk, he is my favorite person in that role.

Now before them became the Avengers, someone had to lead a team to find them all. Let's meet that team.

After the credits of the first Iron Man, we met the man they call Nick Fury, played by Samuel L. Jackson. He didn't work alone, the very first SHIELD person that we met was Agent Phil Coulson, played by Clark Gregg. These two were fantastic and worked well off eachother in The Avengers. Joining the team in The Avengers is Maria Hill, played by Cobie Smulders, this was her first Marvel role.

"A hero without a villain is like a day without sun" -Stan Lee, this is very true. In 2011 we first met Thor's brother Loki, played by Tom Hiddleson. Loki is a dark yet sometimes funny comic book villain which needed to be filled by the best choice, Tom was that choice. He made a return as the brother of Thor in new movie, he was the villain of the story.

We talked about the Director of SHIELD, now we need to talk to the Director of The Avengers movie. Joss Weldon's first Marvel director role was for the after credits scene on Thor. Joss was well known for directing Buffy the Vampire Slayer, no there weren't any Vampires in this film but he did bring along his great talent of directing.

The rest of the cast was EPIC!!! Great job by the whole cast and crew!

OVER ALL THIS MOVIE GETS 5 STARS!!!!!!!! If you haven't already, go see it!! If you have, go see it again!! I can not wait to see where the Avengers story goes from here.
