Iron Man 3 [Blu-ray]

DVD Wholesale Quick Overview:

Marvel’s “Iron Man 3” pits brash-but-brilliant industrialist Tony Stark/Iron Man against an enemy whose reach knows no bounds. When Stark finds his personal world destroyed at his enemy’s hands, he embarks on a harrowing quest to find those responsible. This journey, at every turn, will test his mettle. With his back against the wall, Stark is left to survive by his own devices, relying on his ingenuity and instincts to protect those closest to him. As he fights his way back, Stark discovers the answer to the question that has secretly haunted him: does the man make the suit or does the suit make the man? (c) Disney

Shane Black excels at writing witty, self-referential, pop-infused banter, and there is no actor working today who is better suited to delivering it than Robert Downey Jr.-Christopher Orr

As charming as RDJ is, and as much as I loved Pepper being badass in the suit, the plot was silly and obvious. Maya Hansen played to a stereotype, and the crew cut guy (James Badge Dale) was a much more effective villain than Guy Pearce or the Mandarin. And there was too much Christmas, and a bit of over-narcissism with the fashion show of Iron Man suits and paint jobs.-LETITIA L

Iron Man 3 was a lot of fun and it was a interesting take on the franchise. But is it any good? Positives: 1. The characters; Again Robert Downey Jr. is awesome in this film, in fact he has a lot more humanity to his character this time around in this film. This movie focuses more on Tony Stark than Iron Man which might be a bad thing for some people who love their action, but I liked the direction it was going with his character. Gwyneth Paltrow is again great as Pepper Potts, I’m interested to see what direction they’ll go with her character after her transformation into the Extremis. Don Cheadle was awesome as Rhodey, he is a lot more likable in this film than Iron Man 2. The rest of the cast is fine. 2. The action; this movie has the best action out of the whole trilogy. The action is filmed so well and it is a lot more fun. My favourite action scene is the finale as well as the airplane scene which was actually real and that definitely added more intensity and credibility to the scene. There is also some action scenes that involve Tony himself, such as the mansion scene where he takes out guards in a very entertaining way. Overall Iron Man 3 handles its action excellently. 3. The feel; this film does focus more on Tony Stark than Iron Man like I said, which might bore some people wanting more action but I honestly liked it especially the scenes he has with that kid. You honestly feel for Tony a lot more in this film and it adds more humanity to his character. This film seems to stray a bit more away from the typical superhero blockbuster extravaganza, which I loved. Negatives: 1. The handling of The Mandarin. A lot of comic book fans are mad about this, I’m not a reader of comic books honestly but it did kind of bother me. Don’t get me wrong the scene where its revealed that The Mandarin played by Ben Kingsley (who was great by the way) is just an actor was really funny and unexpected, but at the same time I felt it was a missed opportunity cause he could’ve potentially been a great villain. The real Mandarin turns out to be Aldrich Killian played by Guy Pearce which definitely did disappoint me. 2. I didn’t care for Maya Hansen played by Rebecca Hall. Rebecca Hall is a good actress but her character was underdeveloped and when she does eventually die I didn’t care to be honest. One more negative is that I didn’t care for Killian’s henchmen who were the people infected with the Extremis, I was like “meh” whenever they showed up. Overall: I had a lot of fun with Iron Man 3. It is not as good as the first movie but it is loads better than Iron Man 2. I liked the characters, the action and the overall tone of the film, but I definitely was let down by the villain and it could’ve been handled better.
