If the film isn't close to breaking even yet, it's close at least.
This is like a zen koan generated by an AI.
What?
It's complete nonsense as written, but sounds kind of deep in a shallow sort of way. Like something Inspirobot would put out.
I mean I know what they meant, it just struck me as funny. If it's not close, at least it's close.

I saw it last weekend. I liked it though it kinda feels like a foreign film with the Marvel tag attached to it.
I am not familiar with the character at all. But the ten rings and the talk about the Mandarin in the movie. Is this a reimagining of the Iron Man villian from the comics?
I got nothing to say here.

He is base on the character but they don't call him that and even admit it was stupid.

Ahh OK.
I was a huge Iron Man comic book fan from the 80's to mid 90's. I liked him during his original publishing run and his big enemy was the Mandarin.
I can understand changing up the ten rings since originally they were kinda similar to the Infinity Stones in that each ring had a specific power.
