Iron Man 3


PG-13
Starring: Robert Downey Jr., Gwyneth Paltrow, Don Cheadle, Guy Pearce, Jon Favreau and Ben Kingsley
Running Time: 2 Hours and 9 Minutes

This movie is about the billionaire, playboy/genius Tony Stark (Robert Downey Jr.) who just about loses everything to find out who he really is.
Tony Stark is suffering from post traumatic stress disorder following Loki's assault on New York City during "The Avenger's" movie from last summer. He finds himself struggling to function and unable to sleep. He spends all of his time in his multi-million dollar mansion working on his "Iron-Man"suits and perfecting them even more.
 Bad-guy Mandarin (Ben Kingsley) threatens Tony Stark and things start to get crazy! When Tony Stark is interviewed on live television and gives out his personal address, you know something sinister will occur!
Of course they will hunt down his house and search him out and blow his gorgeous home to smithereens!
From there, he finds himself in a small town in Tennessee where a young boy befriends him.
Then the real villain surfaces as the character Aldrich Killian (Guy Pearce) who has held a grudge against Tony Stark for several years. Killian is determined to get back at Tony for ignoring him and not taking him seriously! From there the movie is about his vendetta and how he accomplishes his goal!
I really did not enjoy this movie as much as I had hoped too. I really have enjoyed the "Iron Man" franchise and loved both "Iron Man" 1 and 2 and last year's,  "The Avenger's". There was a ton of action in this movie and computer generated action sequences were amazing, I just felt like the story was weaker and not as strong as the former movies.  Robert Downey Jr. is always great and you can't help but love him.
Parents be advised, I would recommend this movie for children twelve and older because of all the sci-fi and the intense action sequences. There is also a brief suggestive scene with Pepper Potts (Gwyneth Paltrow) in her underwear.
I am giving "Iron Man 3" three bags of popcorn.

  1. Solid review. Fun for what it is, even if that still feels like it could have been more than we got.
