So much hype, so much expectation, so much potential.

Rating: 5/10 (24 June 2013)

Iron Man 3 could have been one of the greatest superhero films of all time but ultimately failed to live up to its true potential. While Downey Jr. yet again delivers a stellar portrayal of Tony Stark and there are a few great action scenes the plot eventually crumbles. This movie isn't awful but it's just a major disappointment, I personally blame the moronic writing and direction. One scene in particular will enrage comic book and Iron Man fans alike, I am neither of these and was still baffled as to how such experienced filmmakers could make such a big mistake. There are so many reasons why this movie should have been great and so many reasons why it wasn't, this truly is one of the most disappointing films I have ever seen. I am now deeply concerned as to where Marvel is heading with their universe and i'm sure i'm not the only one who feels this way. Let's hope Thor and Captain America can pick up the pieces and save the day because Iron Man needs some backup.
