Gets By On Downey Jr's Charm

Rating: 7/10 (15 April 2019)

I just watched Iron Man 3. I did not like this movie when I watched it in the cinema. Whilst I would not say I liked it, it was not as bad as I remembered.
With the exception of The Winter Soldier, the phase two movies seem to be rushed. Despite a Shane Black script, it's pretty flat and uninspiring. Robert Downey Jr is always worth watching and he is usual reliable self here. Gwyneth Paltrow is a joy as normal, but I hated Ben Kingsley as Mandarin.
Overall it gets by on Downey Jr's charm, but it's not one of Marvel's better efforts.
