YAY!
Downey Jr is perfect as always
Action sequences are incredible
Great performance from Guy Pearce
Some vintage Shane Black dialogue
Ben Kingsley's Mandarin performance is something special
END OF CREDITS SCENE. AWESOME!
MEH!
The plot is all over the place!
Why do almost all Shane Black movies take place at Christmas?
Don Cheadle's James ‘Rhodey’ Rhodes clearly doesn't give a crap about Tony.
Shane Black clearly didn't want to include any Avengers in his Iron Man
There is a mid movie twist that is either unbelievably awesome of simply ridiculous (I haven't decided!)
BOO!
The beginning is mind numbingly boring for an action movie
Either Tony Stark is a terrible mechanic or he's been using cheap Asian parts, because I can't believe how many Iron Man suits malfunction in this movie
Ben Kingsley's Mandarin performance (This isn't a mistake. It will make sense after you've seen the movie!)
VERDICT
MEH!
(But still WAAAYYYY better than Iron Man 2!)
I liked how this movie wrapped up. Without diving into specifics, if this is the final Iron Man film, then I think that it makes for a fine conclusion. Good review.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for that. Couldn't agree more!
