The Iron Man Formula

Rating: 7/10 (29 September 2013)

The third Instalment in the lucrative Iron Man franchise pits the cocky hero against an elusive terrorist wrecking havoc in the United States through untraceable means. The battle becomes personal when Iron Man calls out the Mandarin and sets himself up as a target.
Taking the helm from Jon Favreau, Director Shane Black steps in to some big shoes as he directs an already all star cast in addition to Ben Kingsley, Guy Pearce and Rebecca Hall. Fortunately he doesn't disappoint as this summer blockbuster checks all the boxes leaving you entertained while you munch away on your popcorn.
Robert Downey Jr is in top form and Paltrow adds to the eye-candy quota as does Rebecca Hall even if her character is a little weak. Pearce and Kingsley shine while Don Cheadle has more of a cameo. All in all, the stars do what they're paid to do and do it well.
Full of both action, effects, explosions and laughs, Iron Man 3 is one you're sure to enjoy. Make sure you wait till after the credits are over!
