Rating: 4 out of 5 Stars.
Iron Man III!!!
This mega block buster has been seen by almost everyone! Well, not quite as many as The Avengers, but still seen by many. It's officially cracked the 1 billion mark.
Stark is still reeling from his experiences in The Avengers. Being one of the heroes who saved the day, Iron Man ultimately sent a missile through a black hole, seeing a great alien race get killed in the explosion. Every Hero has their limits. Iron Man has reached his. And now, back to normal life, he's dealing with anxiety as his past comes to haunt.
I like this continuation. It's this continuation that's made these Marvel films such a success. A continuing large arc, stretching through the movie canon, connecting but not dominating. Super cool. It makes the Universe feel real . . . as interesting as that would be. I like how something that happens in one movie has a consequence in the next.
Iron Man III was a fun Summer romp. Good ol' popcorn flick. There were moments that felt a little over the top, particularly with a certain villain, but it adds to the fun.
This movie is an improvement over the last! But the first is still the best.
. . . I can't wait to see how the resolution of this plot affects The Avengers 2. Shall prove interesting.
MPAA: Rated PG-13 for sequences of intense sci-fi action and violence throughout, and brief suggestive content.
