Lacked intensity

Rating: 6/10 (26 April 2013)

It didn't deliver on full fronts from what I was expecting. But it did have some great moments too. Iron Man 3 takes on a different tangent from what one would expect going in to watch the movie, which itself is the highlight. But at the same time it lacked on many fronts on a whole. The movie was more about Tony Stark than Iron Man especially portraying his vulnerable emotional side, left me less like watching a superhero movie. From a super-hero point of view it was a let down (although there was one good action sequence towards the end with all the voice recognition metal suits). I felt Guy Pearce had the stronger role in the movie than Stark. The Mandarin twist was a surprise and the teaser sort of took away some intensity from the movie. Gwyneth also had a good role which was good to see. And a special mention about Ben Kingsley - his acting was really great in it!!
Overall: It didn't leave me excited as the 1st part did. It was more funnier than intense.
Overall 6.7/10
