MCU Christmas Special.

Rating: 8/10 (22 September 2016)

From the title is obvious that the movie take place during the Christmas period. Anyway Iron Man 3 though not on par with the first film in the trilogy ,is still a quit entertaining yet overrated movie at the same time. So why is that?
Firstly up to today (2016 September) is the highest grossing solo superhero movie of all time making 1,215 billion $ and Robert won the People's Choice awards for the best Action Hero of the year and in general the movie won and get nominated on several awards. And yes the story is quit interesting, the effects are amazing and Ben Kingley was a mega troll move on the director part. Though not many liked this interpretation of the Mandarin this troll move was really funny to say the truth. Those are the pros of the flick.
Now to the cons: it has a strange pacing and at times it feels either too fast or too slow, and the second revelation about our lead villain was a bit dumb and didn't make a lot of sense to me at least. Now it is common knowledge that the MCU movies are lacking in making good villains with the exception of the fan-favorite Loki and her is the same story ,different melody. And now to the box office, I find it too much that the movie grossed more than the two previous Iron Man together and this is due to three things.
One the Iron Man Logo sells big, two it is a closing chapter to the first Marvel Cinematic Universe Avenger (not in the time- line of the series, but of the release of the movies) and three and final as a Christmas movie it is among my favorites along side Die Hard, It is a Wonderful Life and Homw Alone.
All in all the Iron Man trilogy isn't one of the best and with only the first movie being praised by everyone and the two sequel being OK and good closure respectively.
