Tony Stark has just helped save the world from an intergalactic threat, but he faces a new, deadly enemy - one who brings low all he has built and seeks to destroy all he holds dear. With his back against the wall, he will have to rely on his own instinct and ingenuity to save the ones he cares about the most. -- Chris Kavan

A quick way to sum up this movie is this: a disappointing final act of a groundbreaking trilogy that is still entertaining enough to warrant multiple viewings. Shane Black's entry into the Marvel Cinematic Universe is a fun and exciting ride that never really builds up to the promises it makes. However, it does do a good job in using the rest of the MCU, especially The Avengers, in creating the emotional storyline that Tony Stark follows throughout the film.

I not only enjoyed the creative action scenes, but also the many unexpected moments and new directions within the story. There's one twist, in particular, that will most likely split audiences. I found it to be clever and funny. In fact, the whole movie is just that. It is a fun watch and much more satisfying than the previous 'Iron Man 2'. I'd say it's my favorite of the trilogy. |

A comedic action movie that never takes itself seriously, shares the Iron Man 2 status. |

A decent finish to the Iron Man trilogy |
|
From the standpoint of the MCU this was a very good building block toward phase 2. It looked great, there were plenty of tie-ins to the other franchises and the RDJ was great once again as Tony Stark. The main problem I have with this movie are the villains. Avoiding spoilers, this was one of the worst treatments of a mainstay villain I have ever seen. Until the movies, Iron Man had always been a B team superhero but one of the saving graces had been the Mandarin. He brought an aspect, magic, that had always rivaled Stark's scientific mind. I was hoping with the Avengers including aliens and Thor showing that magic could be done well in the movies that the mandarin would be the BA that he is in the comics but sadly I was left disappointed. This was better than 2 but falls short of the fir... |

Review: Iron Man 3 |
|
Even if Iron Man 3 can't quite exceed last year's The Avengers or even the first Iron Man film, it still kicks off the summer movie season with a fantastic bang. Everything you'd expect in an Iron Man film is here - the great sense of humor, the breathtaking action, and the charismatic performance by Robert Downey Jr. - as well as a few turns and plot surprises that makes for a much more entertaining film and engaging look at the darker and personal parts of Tony Stark.
The film is directed and co-written by Shane Black, who is mostly known for making fun action films, including Kiss Kiss Bang Bang and Lethal Weapon. What he brings to the table here is certainly rather different and unique when compared to the previous Iron Man movies. It gets darker and it gets personal. It's devoid ... |

Iron Man Soars Again |
|
I have to hand it to Robert Downey Jr. - he is the snarky heart and ego-tastic soul of Iron Man and without him, I don't know how this franchise would have succeeded. The second film felt like a step down after the rocking roller-coaster ride the first film gave us. The Avengers proved Mr. Stark worked just as well with an ensemble as alone. Now Iron Man 3 comes around and I'm happy to say, the groove is back.
Iron Man 3 does a lot right - it has great action pieces, the trademark comedy (and attitude) that Downey Jr. brings to the role and even manages to give Don Cheadle and Gwyneth Paltrow some exposition. The biggest surprise in the cast was that Ben Kingsley manged to play both a fantastic villain and, not to spoil anything - a surprising turn that made the role even better. Guy P... |

I would rather they let him go out in a blaze of glory rather than re-cast the part (unless they do some reboot years down the road - and why wouldn't they, eventually?). It's hard to imagine anyone else in the roll. All I know is, the way Iron Man 3 ended, your theory is a very real possibility. |

Another thing - and I've been thinking about it a lot. Robert Downey Jr. said he's ready to take the suit off. Joss Whedon announced that bad, bad things will happen to people in Avengers 2. Am I the only person who thinks it'd be really awesome if they kill of Iron Man in Avengers 2? I have a strong feeling it's going to happen. I just do. With Whedon calling the shots, think of how great of a scene it can be and how epic he'd go out. |

I haven't seen a movie in 3D since - The Amazing Spider-Man (and only because it was a screener I went to for free). In my opinion, 3D adds nothing (except to the cost of your ticket). Especially the post-conversion crap. But - it adds to the grosses for a relatively cheap cost and as long as audiences even somewhat support it, I don't see things changing. |

I saw the film today and I enjoyed it. But I want to talk about something, and I really want to know you guy's opinion. It's about 3D. I did not see Iron Man 3 in 3D today. My brother saw it Friday night in 3D and said the 3D was dreadful. No surprise. 3D post-conversion is 95% of the time really, really bad. And it's quite obvious that the post-conversion is a gimmick and is done for the studio to take in extra dollars. But I'm really getting sick of it, and I think most audiences are too. Today when I saw it, 2-D screenings were completely sold out. Lines out of the theater doors. 3D was still available. And my observations saw a pretty tiny line to get into the 3D screenings. Everyone is seriously getting tired of 3D post conversion. It's totally unfair to!! It's extra money, it does nothing but distract you, and the quality of the film's picture becomes inferior. I love me a good 3D movie - shot in 3D - when the medium is used as a storytelling enhancement (Life of Pi, Avatar, Hugo, hell even Tron: Legacy I thought looked insane in 3D). Fuck 3D (post conversion). |

How bit will this open over the weekend? It made $15.6 million off Thursday and Midnight showings (for those who keep track of numbers, The Avengers opened with an $18.7 million Thursday/midnight total). I guarantee it will hit the $150 million mark - but will it go higher? I think so - probably not Avengers big, but I don't think $170 million is out of the picture. |
