Great film. Don't let reviews fool you

Rating: 8/10 (23 September 2014)

This movie got a lot of stick. Why? Thats the question I ask.
I am not a superhero movie fan. And that is why I love iron man three. It isn't a mind numbing mash of explosions and pointless action like most superhero movie tend to become. The movie focus on tony stark battling his own demons and struggling to do so rather than iron man just showing off and shooting things. (Iron man 2 coming to mind) Robert downing JR shows the world just how good he really is as an actor and dominates the screen with subtlety and diversity ANY actor would be proud of. Guy Peirce is as brilliant as ever, and the plot is gripping and tight.
OK so it drifted from the comic books somewhat. But let's be honest, who really cares? How many of us know a great deal of info about the comic books? The Nolan batman trilogy did the same and became the best comic book movies of all time!
There a lot of bad reviews on this movie, and I can see how it can split audiences. DO NOT JUDGE. Watch it first.
