Having found the first Iron Man passable, and Iron Man 2 abysmal. Iron Man 3 is the best of the franchise, thanks wholly to the writing and directing of Shane Black. Downey Jr is typically great in the role (and his best performance as the titular Iron Man) but I really loved what was done with Paltrow's role, a screaming weakling in the previous entry, her character is wonderfully developed this time around and she's actually a strong character. Pierce, once again playing a wonderful vilain, with Rebecca Hall and especially Ben Kingsley put in nice work. A solid summer actioner with some solid and explosive action sequences. Iron Man 3 is entertaining and one of the better Marvel entries.
