Iron Man 3 (2013) review

Next up for my marvel film reviews is the much talked about Iron Man 3 and yes right off the bat I will say I like iron man 3.

The premise of this film sees Tony Starks life turned upside down when he encounters a terrorist called the mandarin. Meanwhile an organisation is trying to use science to take down the president of the United states.

One thing that can't be denied is just how good Robert Downey jnr is as Tony stark and that continues in this film. Yes he is now an avenger but that doesn't stop him from still being the narcissistic billionaire that made us all fall in love with his character.

The ssupporting cast was great in this film, Gwyneth paltrow is great as pepper Potts and her character is given more relevance in this film. The chemistry that her and Downey have is really good and one of the best in comic book film history. Don Cheadle returns at rhodey and he does a good job in this film as his character feels more important and once again his and Downey downey's chemistry is really good. Guy Pearce is really good in his role as Aldrich Killian been though he feels a little bit cliche. Ben Kinsley plays the mandarin as he did a great job in this film and felt menacing which was necessary.

There are aspects of this film that feel right for action films and twists that come out of knowhere that adds to the films story. However, there is one big twist in this film that people will either accept or hate and that can affect how your viewing experience goes. Personally, I hate the twist and I think it drags the quality of the film down but doesn't ruin it.

The script was pretty good in the film with a lot of humour but sometimes it feels a bit out of place because the mix of drama and comedy doesn't feel right and does indeed feel wrong.

The action scenes were great in this film with iron man never looking better, but I have a bigger problem with the style. This is that this is a Tony stark film and iron man is barely on screen which does take away from the validity of the character.

Overall I like this film but I definitely think it could have been better.

Final rating - 7/10
