Could have been great but settled for ok

Rating: 7/10 (27 June 2019)

A grounded, darker approach to the character with a gritty story and a great villain set up what should be an epic fight between Iron man and the Mandarin. Instead we have a great film ruined by an over-ambitious twist and a forgettable third act due to a boring main villain. Iron Man 3 is a prime example of how a bad finale can mess up a truly fantastic film.
