An All-too Familiar but Still Enjoyable Experience

Rating: 7/10 (13 November 2013)

This is better than the second one. It is not as good as the first one. I think everyone has said that, but I still like this movie quite a bit.
There is a philosophical side to this movie. Iron Man has gone down to Earth, experiencing symptoms similar to PTSD, and is suddenly thrust into his job again by forces beyond his control.
There is a twist involving the true villain, and this actually works in the film's favor. The villain is usually who we least expect. Tony is crushed spiritually by his burdens, and this villain is smart enough to exploit that. I thought this writing was very clever.
It is a Tony Stark movie, and that's perfectly fine. Marvel knows what makes their movies work and uses that to their advantage.
