Robert Downey Jr.//Tony Stark//Iron Man - They always entertain you

Rating: 8/10 (26 April 2013)

Iron Man 3 was an epic ending to the Iron Man trilogy. There is nothing to say about Robert Downey Jr.'s performance as Tony Stark, he is the perfect one for the role of Tony Stark. Breathtaking scenes, stunning 'suit-ups' and the occasional 'Jarvis Pun' make this movie a lot entertaining and fun to watch. I always liked Gwyneth Paltrow as Pepper Pots, and she did a fantastic job in Iron Man 3. I'd put her above Robert Downey Jr. in terms of their contribution to the plot and entertainment factor, just fantastic. Ben Kinglsey as The Mandarin blended well with the overall plot. Guy Pearce was pretty bad ass and provided the protagonist with just the thing that a superhero needs to push himself to the limits for protecting and defending the innocent and the good.
The plot itself has a very powerful vibe to it, the conflict of conscience comes up at the right moments, making the plot unpredictable because you'd be left guessing with the way these conflicts are portrayed. These are the subtle things that keep the plot interesting. And just when the viewer feels 'there is too much seriousness in the frame for sometime now', quick one-liners crop up and make you laugh out loud.
People shouted and cheered quite a few times, thanks to the stunning scenes. I can't give so much as a review on the individual departments as I have no clear idea about which department does what. Fans of superhero movies, The Iron Man fans, the Tony Stark fans and the Robert Downey Jr. fans would enjoy it a lot.
Note: You don't want to miss the first 5 minutes, the plot is such that you would have to 'guess' what you missed to understand certain things as the movie comes to a close. And seriously, reviews of any movie shouldn't contain any part of the story or scenes! At least not until a few months of its release!
