Iron Man 3



The picture above shows just how tired not only Tony is, but the suit itself. Robert Downey Jr returns for a third and hopefully final time as the metal devil Iron Man, the plot is sketchy, the effects are phenomenal and the acting is passable.

A flashback to the turn of the new millennium is where our story takes place, where a slightly younger but ever debonair Tony Stark blows off talking to a nerdy -and slightly creepy- scientist (Guy Pearce) on the brink of a new discovery for a one night stand with a hot brunette (Rebecca Hall)..... Who can blame him.
Turn the clocks forward thirteen years and the party days are no more for Tony as he is happily settled with Pepper Potts (Gwyneth Paltrow). Sadly she cant ail all his problems as he can't seem to shake the events of New York and his near death experience from his mind.

There's no time to focus on himself as he stupidly and I must say quite unnecessarily starts a feud with a terrorist, and from then all hail breaks loose unleashing death, destruction and abduction as Tonys past come back to bite him in the ass. But you know what they say about the past: When you look to the future you leave it all behind.

One of those films where you expect greatness and are then fooled into thinking you are experiencing it when really it's just the remnants of its predecessors. Stick a fork in it, he's done. It's time for Tony put the suit away, only allowing for the exception of more Avenger movies.
