Iron Man 3 - A Mixed Bag


Iron Man 3 was a big step up from Iron Man 2, perhaps the worst film in Marvel's Cinematic Universe, it kind of runs head and head with Thor at the bottom of the barrel. While Robert Downey Jr., probably out of shear boredom with the character, reaches and stretches his Tony Stark character in the new situations - now suffering from pannick attacks and severe anxiety. It's a bit over dramatic for this character and story the plot would be better served as a direct line ass whooping (see Iron Man 1).

Did we need to see 42 remote control iron men at the film's climax when one real would with Stark in ti would do? Do we need Don Cheadle's Iron Patriot / War Machine? No.... not really.

What we do need is more of Gwenyth Paltrow who become the real focal point of these movies. She shines while the rest of the movie throws in everything but the kitchen sink.
