Iron Man 3 - Review

I got the opportunity to see Iron Man three tonight before it's midnight release and I have to say, I was really impressed. It was not what I was expecting. It was actually so much more, that its going to be hard to discuss without spoilers. The story is impressive, with a lot of blindsides that you won't see coming. The special effects are over the top in the best possible way, in 3D everything is crystal clear, and moves at a lightning pace. The cast are tremendous. Once again Robert Downey Jr. shines in the role of Tony Stark. The depth of character that they get into is surprising, and greatly appreciated. No longer is Stark just the "man in the can". He a actually spends most of the movie out of the infamous suit. The quips and wise cracks fly fast and furious, and many will leave you speechless. Best piece of dialogue of the film - spoken to a 12 year old child: "It happens. Dad's leave. No need to be a pussy about it.". It is so inappropriate, and so perfectly suited to Starks character that it got a round of applause in my viewing. So, go see this film, contribute to the Marvel money making machine, and be sure to stick around post credits for a very fun little scene featuring Stark and his Avengers team mate Dr. Bruce Banner.
