A Fresh New Take on the 'Iron Man' Franchise!!!

Rating: 7/10 (6 May 2013)

I understand that this movie messed up The Mandarin character and a lot of comic book fans are mad, but I really enjoyed this new film. Shane Black gives us a dark and comedic new tale in the life of Tony Stark. I thought this new film was much better than Iron Man 2. I love that it takes place around the Christmas holiday. I love the references to 'The Avengers' After almost dying in The Avengers, Tony Stark has been having panic attacks and nightmares. When Happy Hogan is injured during a Mandarin terrorist attack, Tony takes it upon himself to bring The Mandarin to justice. When his house is destroyed, JARVIS sends Tony to rural Tennessee where a Mandarin bombing happened. I loved the comedic one-liners and the witty banter between Tony and a 10-year old boy named Harley. If you love the Iron Man series, you'll love IRON MAN 3!!!
