Tony Stark uberFool?

Rating: 5/10 (1 September 2013)

This had a more complex plot than IM1 or 2, and it tries very much to show Iron Man as a human being, not so much the super hero in an ultra high-tech suit.
Laudable in some senses but I think in many ways I prefer the Tony Stark of IM1, where he rises against incredible odds to become the SH who terrorizes evildoers.
His smug cockiness and downright stupidity in revealing his home address on national TV invites disaster. Should he have been surprised when the helicopter gunships showed up? Later he apologies to Pepper for putting her life at such grave risk, and declares he will never do it again. Let's see how long a scriptwriter's memory is...
Bit of a wonder also how his house did not have ANY sort of air-defenses. Even if he had not been so stupid to reveal it's location, couldn't a determined enemy have tracked him down eventually?
The scene where he rescues 13 falling people is certainly a memorable one, though it seems that a deliberate effort was made not to show TS in the suit much. The scenes where suits are destroyed in "oops" moments are amusing but seem out of character for multi-million dollar pieces of hardware - surely they have an anti-collision mechanism as even top cars do, to prevent such mishaps.
The CGI is great if you are prepared to just let the eye candy roll and not think too deeply about what is actually happening.
