Marvel's best Iron Man movie

Rating: 9/10 (3 May 2013)

This was a great movie, and I actually think it's the best Iron Man movie. I wasn't big on the beginning of the movie, but I think it gets deep and really interesting when he's flown to Tennessee. His house was bombed and all his Iron Man suits (except for a protocol) were destroyed. The one he wears when he's flown was injured in the battle. For most of the movie, he's actually not fighting as Iron Man. He's fighting as Tony Stark. He grabs a gun, and actually has good combat skills too. He manages to fight off the Mandrin's henchmen very well, even without the suit. This was a very risky move, but it works out very well if you ask me. He shows that he's not some weakling and if you take away his armor and weapons, he would be an easy target. He shows that he's a tough guy underneath as well. I'm glad they took that route. Before this movie came out, Robert Downey Jr. said "Iron Man 3 won't be a serious movie." I see why he said that. There's a lot of funny moments in this film, even though this isn't labeled as a comedy.
One problem I had with Iron Man 2 was that there wasn't much of a story to it, or that much action. I see that one as build-up to The Avengers. This one, however, was completely different. Nick Fury actually isn't in this movie. They mention the parts of The Avengers like two or three times, but that's not the focus of this movie, and that's a great thing.
So far, this is my favorite film of 2013, and you guys should definitely see it. I'm very glad I saw it, and I will see it again.
