Marvel Studios lets director Black off the leash for this third installment, and while the result is edgier, sexier, and more dangerous than what has come before, you may not recognize Tony Stark as the man from the long-running comic.

Funnier and smoother, more surprising, defter at being creative while still working within the confines of the superhero formula.

Vue Weekly (Edmonton, Canada)
It's Iron Man 3's sneaky exposé of superhero cool--on the outside, a wisecracking warrior; on the inside, an anxiety-attacked guy who tries to insulate himself with arrogance--that brings this blockbuster down to sympathetic size.

The finale is explosive, but Iron Man has some rusty patches too

The way Black surrenders the movie's edginess to the generic onslaught of flashy visuals is a mild disappointment.

Matt's Movie Reviews
A regression in the usual strong work from Marvel Studios, Iron Man 3 suffers from director Shane Black's mishandling of this popular superhero character.

The elements that were once daring are starting to feel statistically approved - and tired.

Terrorist and anxiety attacks prove equally dismaying to Marvel's 'man in a can' in this witty, satisfying sequel.

... best Iron Man yet thanks to Shane Black, who pushes characterization, clever plot twists, not computer effects ... Downey, for a change, drops his guard, shows the heart beneath the armor

The Scorecard Review
It's the funniest superhero film, and it doesn't feel like it's pandering. That's the power of Downey, Jr. and now Shane Black.
