I had mixed feelings about iron man 3 going into it. The trailers made it look epic, but sometimes they overdue these epic superhero films, and they turn out bad like Spiderman 3. But sometimes they do them right and they turn out awesome. Dark Knight Rises was the only time I could think of where the third movie in a super hero movie trilogy was great. Even that one got some criticism. I predicted that they would make this the final Iron Man film, but they would keep him alive for Avengers 2. I will not say weather I was right or wrong so I don't spoil it.

The film turned out to be very good, and it was very well done. I thought that it was better then the 2nd one, but I am not sure if I liked it quite as much as the first one, but I probably did. But weather or not you liked it as much as the original you will definitely like it better then the 2nd one, and you will definitely enjoy this.

The only flaw with the film was that it was very predictable. Well pretty much all of these films are predictable, but it was obvious at several points. The ending was the most predictable part of the film, but it was still a good ending, which I will not spoil. The humor was good but at times very predictable, and I didn't get why everybody else in the audience was laughing at times. Most of the time it was good, but at times it was too obvious for me to laugh at. I also wish that they cut down on the jokes a little, because at times it didn't feel like a serious movie. Most of the time they were good, but I felt like there were slightly too many jokes. Those were really the only two flaws with the film. The rest is perfect.

This film picks up right after the Avengers. All the marvel films before the Avengers were set up so they would build up to the Avengers, and they all connect to each other in some way. The Avengers was great because it was planned years in advance, and it was a massive project. The years of work and preparation paid off, as it is the third highest grossing film of all time. I can tell that this film will be the first of the marvel movies since the Avengers to build up to the sequel. Thor: The Dark World looks like it will directly connect to the Avengers 2, because it has the villain Loki from Avengers in it. I have no idea how the will connect Captain America: The Winter Soldier to the Avengers 2, but I look forward to seeing how they do that next year.

The film starts off with a flashback where Tony Stark met a man named Aldrich Killian (Guy Pearce) at a new years party, and he told the guy he would meet him on the roof of the hotel to discuss the project that he had in mind with him, but he never met him there. That was 1999 when he was still a playboy. Then it goes back to the present, and it is Christmas, and Killian has invented a way to recode DNA completely. He approaches Pepper (Gwyneth Paltrow) about it.

Tony Stark (Robert Downey Jr.) is not having fun this Christmas time. He hasn't slept in days, and he is having a lot of anxiety problems. I felt like they were trying to make it look like his health was going downhill, and that he would probably die at the end. He has however come up with some cool things like he came up with something that allows him to call his suit. What happens is that he will do a certain motion and all the parts of his suit would just fly on to him, and he would be Iron man. I thought that was pretty good.

There is a major terrorist called the mandarin (Ben Kingsley) who has been bombing places, and causing major destruction. He tells Tony Stark that he is coming for him, and he does. He destroys his house, and nearly kills him. Tony ends up in Tennessee after that and he must repair a suit, but with the help of a young boy he is able to do so.

I feel like the way Dark Knight Rises was done and Iron Man 3 was done was the ideal way to do a third superhero movie. Make it so the hero will be going through a lot of problems, and like they may die. They also both have the huge terrorist villain who is threatening to destroy everything. That makes it so that there is a lot at stake, and a lot to do, which give's the film a more intense feel. I liked Dark Knight Rises more then iron Man 3 because I liked it how it was just a dark and serious movie, while Iron man 3 is more of a funnier super hero movie, that is less serious. However this is still very good.

Also you need a perfect actor to play the super hero. Robert Downey Jr. is so perfect for the role of Tony Stark. His natural personality is perfect for it. He plays the egocentric hero so perfectly, and he is also funny in that role. There is no better actor to play that role then Robert Downey Jr., and everybody I know thinks that too.

Iron Man is different from other super hero films. Like Batman he doesn't have any natural powers. But as a person that is where he is very different. He is much more egocentric, and narcissistic then the average superhero. Usually they are quiet people when they aren't doing what they do. That is what makes Iron Man unique. He is also like the Fantastic Four, and everybody knows who his identity is. Iron Man is one of the only super hero series that I like.

I thought that this was a very good, and fun movie. It was done right, and it ended well. Only a few flaws, but I didn't notice any plot holes which films like this usually have. Very well done. Shane Black the director of Predator, and Lethal Weapon did some really good things with this, and he was a great choice for the director of this picture. Definitely see this if you are a iron man fan, because it is very entertaining, and very fun to watch.
