Just a Great Movie! The Best Solo Marvel Movie.

Rating: Null/10 (25 April 2013)

I have to admit that I loved everything about this film but I did fall in love with the character the first time around. This movie is every bit as good as the first but even better in my opinion.
They say luck is what happens when preparation meets opportunity. Well, Avengers gave this film the opportunity to move beyond what has come before and it appears there was a lot of hard work and thought that went in to making it because it's exceptional in every way. And, we are all lucky to get to see it. Iron Man 3 is exactly where and how the character should appear after the events of Avengers. I love the idea that after the Avengers Tony basically goes a bit crazy with paranoia and builds MANY new suits of armor just to be ready for anything. This really speaks to his mindset and where he is going from this point forth. It's true character development and advancement. Sometimes it's not all for the better but that's life and that's certainly what sets Marvel heroes apart from all others. The flaws and feet of clay are on display but the emotion and relatbilty are off the charts in this film. I can say the same thing about the action. There were some thrilling things that happened in the first two Iron Man films but NOTHING like we see in this movie.
It's certainly on a par with Avengers. Iron Man 3 is the best solo film Marvel has made and that's high praise indeed.
