Iron man 3 review (spoilers inbound)

First off I wanna say this film should have been the tony stark film!


Over many days of consideration I am putting this on par with iron man 2, this film has highs and some real lows to which I shall go into.

I found the story to be not that bad but the one thing that didn't need to be included in that story was the Mandarin.  The fact that he was included in this film is stupid and totally unnecessary.  The amount of marketing that went into this film making you believe that he was the main antagonist was a waste I know they probably wanted you to think that it was a twist well you didn't pull it off in my eyes.
Another gripe that I have with this film is that Tony Stark controlling suit and him not being in them I don't have a problem with Stark not in a suit but don't control them like they are drone's seems like a cheap shot at Iron man 2  with what Whiplash was doing. In fact if you put whiplash as the bad guy in this film much better film and makes more sense as its two armies fighting.

Right some positives you can tell this was shot by a different director and I liked the style he shot it. He treats this film in a way a bit like Kiss kiss bang bang kind of like Tony Stark as a detective trying to figure out how the bombs are going off. Another positive is how Tony and Rhodes in the last act of the film play out in a buddy action cop style of film.

As the first film thats after Avengers they of course have to address that alot and one thing I liked was that he has an anxiety problem and kind of needs his suits. The fact he has made 42 mks of suits seems unrealistic in that amount of time.

The main antagonist is of course Guy Pearce who in the end is like a mutant who can regenerate and breathe fire all because he has a chemical to help the brain be complete. I should probably note he was a scientists before and Tony had managed to piss him off back In 1999 and the one best way to get back at Tony Stark is through Pepper Potts I found this was the only way they could have wrote her into this film. 
Some more details that bugged me why would u spend some much time building suits and blow them all up in the end when they have just helped and saved you??? I would say that Tony spends about 30 mins tops in his suits and at the end of the film he is in and out of different suits like you would change socks. Out of 42 suits he doesn't have 1 thats flame retardant what's up with that.

I did enjoy this film just not as much as orginal and if this is Robert Downey Jr last Iron Man film I wouldn't be proud of it.

7 out of 10
