Objective & Unbiased review or Iron Man 3 No Spoilers

Rating: 9/10 (28 April 2013)

Just saw it a couple days ago so i'll give you my thoughts about the movie, i am a comic book fan of Iron Man but i will try to give an unbiased, objective opinions on the movie .
And again don't worry NO Spoilers!!!!
So if u like me have been checking out early reviews of iron man 3 you would have noticed the reviews have largely been positive with some mixed ones, and that's how i think this movie will fair on the long run. Most people will love it & many might never accept it for what it is!!
I'll start by listing out the Pros & Cons.
PROS
>>Really cool action movie with unique & creative action sequences. every cent of 200 mil was well spent.
>>RDJ is awesome as ever, effortlessly carries the movie ! he charismatically plays a superhero suffering from what i thought was PTSD symptoms.
>>The movie smoothly handles a superhero questioning his life & life's work without taking itself way too seriously ** Cough...cough.... Dark Knight**
>>Wit & Humor is great tony stark is still the wise cracking billionaire everyone loves & many other funny moments.
>>Good all round supporting cast Ben Kingsley,Gwyn Paltrow,Guy Pearce ,Jon Favreau all do a good job although Guy Pearce stands out.
>>Shane Black Directing it was a good call. This one feels much different than the previous two movies and i mean that in a good way
CONS
>>"Mandarin" soon to probably become the source of endless debates among fans !!
I remember reading an early review that said Mandarin is perhaps the most intelligent screen adaptation of a Villon since the joker!! this got me seriously pumped up for the movie & after seeing the movie i just don't know what to make of it!
This will divide the audience, that's for sure. General audience won't mind the direction they took. But fan reaction will range from Disappointment to all out Nerd Rage!!!!
BUT Mandarin is to Iron Man what Joker is to Batman..........Just Saying
>>"Maya Hansen" starts out great, very interesting opening but everything just leads to a predictable & abrupt end.
>>"Extremis" again an audience divider. regular audience will be cool with it, but fans will be screaming out loud "No Way that's Extremis"
>>Has somewhat of a "Dark Knight Rises" feel to it!.....(PS not in a good way) seems really great at first but the more you think about it many things don't make sense
>>Doesn't really kick off Phase 2 in a way the first movie of phase 2 should "No talking Raccoons here"
Verdict
All that being said i still had a great time with it! as long as you don't compare it to Avengers and see the movie for what it is you should be able to enjoy the movie
8.5/10
