My Iron Man 3 review
Intro: After my disappointment with the dark knight rises I don’t want to see this movie under principles. It seems like making a good third movie is an impossible task for Hollywood. Don't believe me name five good third movies. The trailers sucker me in and after seeing how successful The Avengers was I decide to give this movie a change. Besides Marvel has a good thing going and they can’t afford to screw that up. With all that said do we finally get a good third superhero movie or is this as bad as the rest? Let's find out...
Iron Man 3: This film is center on Tony Stark/ Iron Man dealing with the aftermath of the Avengers. The alien invasion affects Tony in more ways than one and he has to find a way to cope with it. Meanwhile a new villain called the mandarin is creating chaos and someone close to Tony is hurt because of him, so Iron Man has to stop him before things get out of hand.
I have mixed feels about this movie, I don't think it's bad however there are things about it that kept it from being better. This did what a lot of third movies do that is borrowing elements from the first movie. I appreciate that this movie has no setup for anything, however I wish S.H.E.I.L.D was mentioned. I do like the plot twist on some level, I mean the movie was making a social commentary on judging book by its cover and how we view people committing evil acts. However I wish it had pay off.
Tony/Iron man is kind of a mess in this movie, he has to figure out does the suit make the man or does the man make the suit? Not only does he have to deal with his baggage he also has to face a demon from his past. My gripe with this character is he did some stupid things in this movie, also his Iron man suit is kind of weak. Plus I don't buy how the alien invasion affects him considering what he went though in the past. I would prefer that the movie builds up to him having this problem.
Pepper Potts is not as useful as she was in the first film however she's not as annoying as the last film. My one complain with her is she stole Tony's thunder in one scene.
Once again Rhodey Rhodes/ Iron Patriot doesn't do much in this movie. Seriously what's the point of having him in these movies if he doesn't amount to anything? Also I don't like the reason why he's called Iron Patriot.
There isn't much to say about Maya Henson, because she's under develop and barely in the movie.
Aldrich Killian is basically Edward Nygma from Batman Forever.
Iron man fans are not going to be happy with what this movie has done with the mandarin. It's hard to consider him a character because we don't know much about him, he mostly gives speeches. This movie would have been better if he was like his comic book counterpart.
The trailers really hurt this movie for me because I'm sick of false advertisement. What's the point of giving us the idea that this movie will be dark if it's not like that most of the time? Once again the comedy is an issue with this movie, it wasn’t bad however there was just too much of it. Marvel Studios why didn't you advertise this movie as a comedy? Why does this movie have a Christmas theme if that theme serves no purpose in this movie?
Also I wish the writers would do more with the extremis story. The last fight was repetitive, I mean it was like watching someone playing Street Fighter and he or she keeps losing to the AI. The movie didn't do the best job with everything the writers tried to do with Tony. If you look at this as a film you might enjoy it more however it doesn't fix the problems with it. Sadly Iron man 3 is not good enough to break the bad third movie curse.
