Well...that just happened...

Rating: 3/10 (2 May 2013)

So I usually don't write reviews for flicks, but as a comic book fan, I've gotta speak up about this one.
Sadly, I was swept away with all the hype for Iron Man 3, and sadly, I can't get my money back.
There was a lot of potential for this movie to do great, for example: Tony is dealing with his PTSD from the New York incident (that scene where he's signing the autograph for the kids and it just comes out as "Help me, Emma", yeah, creepy)
The terrorist group that held Tony hostage in the first movie was cleverly named "The Ten Rings", which could have easily fit into a well written storyline for the Mandarin if you still wanted to go in the whole direction of "Boo terrorism, yay America"
Even if you wanted to stray away from the terrorism plot and pull out something more traditional for Iron Man's GREATEST RIVAL, there's tons of reference for that in the comics; you know, those paper things that the movie is supposedly based on?
Instead, what we got was very broken story telling, inappropriately placed comedy, flaws in continuity from previous films and plot holes, plot holes, plot holes!
I was hoping for this movie to be The Dark Knight for the Iron Man franchise, but sadly, I got The Dark Knight Rises.
