Hugely enjoyable

Rating: 9/10 (26 April 2013)

Tony Stark has anxiety issues following the New York incident and the development of his relationship with Pepper Potts: this coincides with terrorist The Mandarin escalating his sequence of atrocities. And perhaps it all dates back to an incident long ago in Tony's past...
Iron Man Three (note: not Iron Man 3) delivers everything shown in the trailer, and quite a lot which was not what I expected. I did not expect this film to be so funny, for a start, but I laughed quite a lot, and by no means always at Stark's snarky put-downs. In fact, so much in this film was not what I expected that it becomes difficult to say much without spoilering, and I wouldn't want to do that.
So I'll stick with saying that I enjoyed it a great deal: far more than IM2, and I think probably more than the first one.
