Iron Man coming of age?

Rating: 7/10 (30 April 2013)

This movie has amazing visuals, cool armours, fantastic 3D and a good enough plot. You see Robert Downey Jr in a familiar role being the wise ass Tony Stark. After the events of Avengers, Tony has developed a sort of paranoia along with insomnia. This leads him to go over board with "Hobby". Add to this a new treat that is possibly the biggest that he has faced alone. The armour is in the next stage of evolution and its quite cool seeing it come together. Its not only Tony but all the major characters here that get considerably meatier story arch. Although the tone of the movie is same as those movies that preceded it - light. There is a twist midway through that very few will see it coming. I would think it was a Joss Whedon touch. The end fight is huge and spectacular in scale and effects. In the end of it all, tony has grown, matured up and realizes the important things in life. Though this character movement is not shown in a very sensible way and not very convincing. All of a sudden, he is more mature and he has moved on. Oh and there is an Easter Egg scene here at the end of credits though you really won't miss much if you don't wait for it. Final verdict: Better than iron man 2 but not as good as the first part.
