Cinema Sight
A generous step up from its predecessor, the various twists aren't exactly as expected, but you'll still have fun getting there.

Packed with virtually non-stop action from start to finish, "Iron Man 3" is the best film in the "Iron Man" series and among the best Marvel-inspired films ever

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.

... 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

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.

Are you sick of superheroes? No, of course you are not, cinema audiences are lapping up any caped crusader movies. But I am, especially when Tony Stark is an angst ridden shambles suffering from performance anxiety. What's so super about that?

It's nothing but a collection of superhero clichés made marginally palatable by Robert Downey Jr.'s endless charm and charisma.

Dark Horizons
The real enjoyment here comes when Shane Black's sensibilities take over during the middle hour.
