Much Better

Just gonna do this one quickly. Doubt it'll make a difference cause everyone will watch it anyway.
It's the best Iron Man so far, I will say that. However, the first 2 films weren't all that great in my eyes anyway. Director Shane Black takes the franchise in a slightly different direction. Focusing on the Tony Stark character instead of all the gadgetry (there is still a fair amount here, not to worry). It's slightly darker than the previous 2 films and actually has a proper plot this time round.
Robert Downey JR does his part again, it's almost as if he was made for this role. The character that I loved most was the Mandarin though. Ben Kingsley steals every scene that he appears in as the terrorist threat to Iron Man. The others sort of trundle along, letting the special effects do the talking.
There were too many unexplainable events in the film to rate it seriously, and it's expected being a popcorn Hollywood flick but it's fun, it's one of the blockbusters out now. You'll watch it anyway.
