Consistent with 1 & 2

Rating: 7/10 (9 February 2014)

I enjoyed Iron Man and Iron Man 2. Despite the science fiction, cartoon hero nature of the movie, the plots were reasonably believable and not too ridiculous. Action scenes were good, but not overdone. Moreover, characters had depth - quite rare in action movies in general and especially so in superhero movies. Dialogue was snappy and funny. Performances were first-rate.
Iron Man 3 is no exception. In fact, I enjoyed it slightly more than the previous two. Tony Stark showed a vulnerability that wasn't evident in the first two. Plus, in the Mandarin and Guy Pearce's character we have a villain who is a match for Iron Man.
On this note, Guy Pearce put in a great performance as the bad guy. Usual great, snappy, witty performance from Robert Downey Jr.
Great entertainment.
