Storyline
Marvel's "Iron Man 3" pits brash-but-brilliant industrialist Tony Stark/Iron Man against an enemy whose reach knows no bounds. When Stark finds his personal world destroyed at his enemy's hands, he embarks on a harrowing quest to find those responsible. This journey, at every turn, will test his mettle. With his back against the wall, Stark is left to survive by his own devices, relying on his ingenuity and instincts to protect those closest to him. As he fights his way back, Stark discovers the answer to the question that has secretly haunted him: does the man make the suit or does the suit make the man?

Very disappointing Marvel.
Rating: 5/10
First off, the plot was so jumpy - didn't know who was where, due to
bad pacing. One minute Stark's in Roseville (or whatever the name of
the town was) - next he's in Miami. Too disconnected. Pacing kept going
back and forth between different characters in their own different
situations, each with their own tension which really unbalanced the
film's atmosphere and failed to draw me in.
The twist was a down right insult. The trailer built up this awesome
bad guy, The Mandarin - a man of Asian heritage who wants to watch the
west burn. But no he's scrapped as a comedy character and replaced by
yet another man who wants nothing more than to make profit - this is
getting a little repetitive now -.-
Plus the reveal was way too early, and they used comedy to reveal it -
not the best way to get me drawn into the story if I'm honest.
Tony's resourcefulness I will agree on - he had various tricks up his
sleeve and that's what did it for me, it was one of the few things that
kept me interested.
The little boy was so generic, I felt like I was watching a family home
alone movie again. He didn't need to be there in any way shape or form,
and just served to set tony up for terrible one liners.
Also, another badly developed character was the one night stand (I
forget her name - Aldridge's assistant). I was to understand she had
become corrupted - over a period of time getting lost in her work. So
how can the film justify her sudden change of heart after a two
sentence speech from Tony? No, I don't buy it.
She has spent the last what, 13 years involving herself in the
Madarin's work? She has been corrupted by his ideals, this is a fact.
They spent half the film building her up and then just threw her away.
Completely bad plot device and not useful.
The one liners started off as funny, but soon became painfully unfunny
and repetitive. There was so much room for deep, genuine heartfelt
scripting, and the film just passed these moments up to get a few cheap
shock laughs from the audience - most of which didn't even have an
impact.
Marvel screwed this one up and I'm glad they aren't doing another one -
I was happy with the ending though, it was the only way to truly finish
Iron Man in style.
