Tony Stark IS Iron Man

Rating: 8/10 (6 May 2013)

This movie summed up just about everything the first two began, how does a superhero juggle his or hers personal and public life. Tony Stark has made no bones about it, he is Iron Man, however Man is a suit. Who is Tony Stark if his suit is not available when needed? This movie answers that question, and brings us the human sides of our characters. Don't get me wrong, there's lots of suit action in the movie, but balanced out by strong human interaction and some "Bondiness" when needed. Being the 3rd Iron Man movie, we expect the characters to evolve and grow. Indeed they do, leaving questions about the future. A reviewer wrote that this movie was "unacceptable". Good grief, it's a movie for the masses, not a direct insult to your entertainment palette. While paced oddly at times, with many short action scenes in favor of long pieces of dialogue, I'm not sure what the basher's expected, but there's plenty of action, especially near the end, some hilarious comedy, and even without the suit for a while, Tony IS Iron Man!
