Comedy & Action In Form

Rating: 7/10 (13 May 2013)

This movie is a great example of what comedy and action in a tandem formula can do to attract an audience. The cast helps as Robert Downey Jr. might be in his last one as Stark/Iron Man. He has solid support. This one like previous 2 films in the series are for action/entertainment which is what brings people into the theater.
I am not a major comic book geek, so I make no connection of the characters with the drawn and written word. I believe this is a solid franchise in this genre. I doubt if one of these will ever be made that is the same as the comic books.
That being said, if the films get a little closer to the books, they might flow a little better and not require as much comic relief. Still, to me, you put your brain in park and prepared to enjoy the action. This and the attraction of the fine cast carry the day here.
Could it be better? Yes, like a lot of installments of the Bond series could be better. Still, the Iron Man films are what they are. I enjoyed this installment because I got pretty much what I expected here. This has become a pretty solid formula and they are hitting that target just about every time out.
