Review of Iron Man 3 (2013) by Benskylerhill — 23 Apr 2018
Iron Man seems to have peaked at his first film. I cannot even begin to express just how utterly inane this movie is. The plot makes absolutely no sense with the villains making such insane decisions based on loose motives at best. (And where is SHIELD during all of this?) The plan of the Mandarin makes no logical sense, relying on implausible coincidence even at its most logical parts, and he doesn’t even seem to have a motive for anything he does other than getting back at at Tony Stark because he skipped a meeting one time. Cartoonish beyond not just belief, but comprehension.
The acting is definitely passable, as it is in most Marvel movies, but even these great performers can’t save the dialogue that sounds like it was written by the writers of Scooby Doo. Visually, the movie is impressive, but much like the acting, it isn’t anything that stands out from previous Marvel outings.
Most of the Marvel films are essential viewing for fans who desire a deeper understanding of the MCU, but this is one that is a complete insult to an iconic hero and can be skipped without worry.
