Great Sequel to The Avengers

Rating: 9/10 (3 May 2013)

I saw "Iron Man 3" , starring Robert Downey Jr.-besides the Iron Man & Avengers movies , you might have seen him in The Shaggy Dog-2006 or Natural Born Killers , Gwyneth Paltrow-Contagion , Shallow Hal , Don Cheadle-House of Lies-t.v. , Hotel for Dogs , Guy Pearce-Prometheus , The Hurt Locker and Ben Kingsley-Hugo , The Love Guru .
This is more of a sequel to 'The Avengers' , rather than 'Iron Man 2' . Robert is suffering from anxiety and sleepless nights after the events in New York and is spending all his time working on his Iron Man toys-you get to see lots of new suits . Gwyneth has become his live-in girlfriend and runs the daily business of Stark Inc. but is feeling ignored by Robert . Don has gotten a paint job & new name as the Iron Patriot-War Machine sounded too threatening . The villains are Guy-who runs an organization called A.I.M. and Ben-he is the Mandarin , an international terrorist with ten rings of varying powers on his fingers . There are lots of nods to the comics-such as Extremis but you don't have to had read the books to know what is going on . Of course , there is a scene after the credits , so stay seated . It is shown in regular digital , 3D and IMAX 3D-that's the one I saw it in . It's rated "PG-13" for the violence and has a running time of 2 hours & 10 minutes . I thoroughly enjoyed it and would buy it on Blu-Ray .
