Iron Man 3 (2013)

Director: Shane Black

Rated: PG-13

Length:130 min.

This high intensity action hero juggernaut surprised me by providing an ample amount of witty charm brought forth by the always entertaining Tony Stark (Robert Downey Jr.) while changing the game with its consistent hilarity that breaks away from the stereotypical hero film. I have always said never make a triology because you're just going to end up reusing old plot ideas and tying to blow your already successful first film outta the water; but in this case, I make an exception. Iron Man 3 blew the sequel away primarily because of the unexpected humor provided throughout. This film should have been the sequel to the first Iron Man, and they could have stopped there, feeling a rightful sense of accomplishment. Unfortunately, they will continue to milk the money maker with The Avengers 2, and Downey Jr. will hopefully make that film bearable. Overall, this film is exactly what I expected, non-stop action followed by extremely outlandish plot sequences; however, in this case, the two compliment each other well. This is a film that the whole family can enjoy and I say take 'em!
