Yet another formulaic Iron Man movie

Rating: 6/10 (3 May 2013)

Watched it yesterday at the local theatre. I heard some people talk about how it is the best Iron Man movie of the three. Well, let me tell you, it is as formulaic as it gets. The bad guy is shown with the rather tiring motive of world domination and has a female accomplice who as usual is enamoured of Tony Stark and saves his skin.
Also Tony's squeeze has a few bad ass moments herself. He creates a dozen computer controlled suites for Doomsday but then destroys them after the final fight. Well what if it happens again, huh Tony? Sure, the effects are good but the plot is weak, and it is not hard to guess what happens next. The surprise hardly feels like it because we have already guessed it. Also the humour is cheesy, it hardly matches up to the first movie.
