Even 12 year olds are gonna feel dumbed down

Rating: 1/10 (28 November 2014)

This travesty reminded me of a cynical comment I received on a forum the other day commenting on how most media and press releases are "dumbed down to the level of a 12 year old". Iron Man 1 was funny and intelligent. It had action and a story line that any interested 12 year old could follow and maybe even learn a bit about how truly nasty evil can be. As an adult I found the arms dealer gets a conscience exploration compelling. But in 3 we get something that seems to want to insult adults that go and see "childrens" films, and which manages to insult the 12 years olds as well ! I remember being an intelligent 12 year old, looking back I knew and instinctively perceived much more than I was given credit for. 3 seems to revel in insulting anyone who even took a passing interest in reading a comic as if none of the material really matters. I know its "just a film", but this is a film that made millions upon millions ! Why ? I don't understand why it was not a huge financial flop. Go and make a film like 1, not this insult.
