Marvel Finest

Rating: Null/10 (26 September 2019)

It is the 4th appearance of Robert Downey Jr. as Tony Stark aka "Iron Man" (2008-2013) and his finest.
Combining science-fiction action components with comedy and action-thriller elements, it's where the second collaboration of Robert Downey Jr. and director Shane Black, after crime-comedy "Kiss Kiss Bang Bang" produced by Joel Silver in season 2004/2005, pays off.
Despite a weaker opening sequence, featuring a 1990s Italian-produced #1 single wonder pop song, "Iron Man Three" quickly picks up pace of major blockbuster story-telling. Tony Stark must encounter his most outrageous defeat as a villian called "Mandarin" attacks his 'Malibu' home by heavy missile fire.
After that incident, the picture gets better and better, featuring supporting cast Gwyneth Paltrow as Stark Industries CEO wife, Ben Kingsley and Guy Pearce in one of his best Hollywood big picture performances.
In the end, I stood "whoa-struck" on how the technological advancements, especially with the Iron Man mark 3 suits assembling in an spectacular showdown sequence at 'Los Angeles' habor, giving "Iron Man" a proper sent off in Marvel's best single character trilogy.
