Forget the rubbish of Iron Man 2, Tony Stark is developed really well and we really feel like we know him here. This is largely thanks to Robert Downey Jr being stripped back to basics and he really showcases his acting abilities here. Not only that but there's some really excellent opportunities for great action scenes (as the mark 47 is properly cool!)
WHAT I DIDN'T LIKE: There are a few odd niggles that you really can't ignore. For example, the confusing plot, and the baffling villain situation (which is even confusing after multiple viewings,) and the fact the movie doesn't really seem to fit in the whole Cinematic Universe.
VERDICT: Iron Man 3 is arguably the best film in the Iron Man franchise, it's darker than the first but still a lot of fun. Robert Downey Jr is just great in this role.… Expand

I love this movie! I have seen all of the Iron man movies and this one has got to be my favorite out of all of the Iron Man movies! It is funny, fun, mature, action and sort heavy, it is a bloody good time!

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Iron Man is the grand return of Tony Stark in the suit with a story that tests his limits. It has its moments but it also has some major problems that hold it back. The film has Stark suffer some panic attacks after his near death experience in the events of The Avengers. The panic attacks had some potential to give him more depth considering the fact that he was surrounded by superhuman and even gods but it is really not that fleshed out enough. There is also a controversial conspiracy involving former U.S war veterans who regain their limbs based on an experiment that went wrong. This presents an interesting dilemma for Stark to come fully face to face with the horrors of his previous arms race campaign. How the war veterans were portrayed though are pretty questionable to say the least. Ben Kinsley is one of the best highlights of the film both for his propaganda videos as the ultimate reveal of him being a mere puppet for the real villain. It is understandable why fans will be very dissapointed but the Mandarin would not have flown well in today's PC culture since the Mandarin from the original comic is really nothing more than a racial stereotype of the Chinese. Although the plot twist was hilarious the true villain was a bland antagonist to Stark. Speaking of which, Robert Downey Jr is once again the best thing about this film especially with the interaction between him and the child actor. The child actor did an outstanding job developing a relationship with Stark. This is also a film where Stark has to rely on his wits for the majority of the film outside of the one time he gave his address to the Mandarin (the single most stupid thing any Superhero has ever done). The action is also pretty strong with impressive set pieces which actually kept me at the edge of my seat. The climax is outstanding with all of the multiple suits and Stark changing in between the suits in mid flight which displays some impressive visuals. His relationship with Pepper has developed alot more as well and I found myself genially concerned about their relationship status. If you are wiling to accept some of the flaws or the controversial plot twist than this film will definitely keep you entertained for a long time.… Expand

Iron Man 3 is definitely better than 2, but still doesn't quite live up to the quality of the original that started it all. I appreciate the darker tones in this film and find it to still be quite entertaining overall.

Iron Man 3. Who are you without a suit? Robert Downey Jr. with the team continue to keep the series on top. The change of director did not prevent the third film from becoming interesting at all.

This in my opinion is the best Iron Man movie if you take out the fact that Mandarin is just a fake persona. It deals with Tony's paranoia and the after effects of The Avengers and what felt like a great closure to the Iron Man trilogy.

If I miss one I won't be able to pay the mortgage... Anyway, this movie is an EPIC FAIL!!!! Words cannot describe how awful this film is. Forgettable characters, bad visual effects, and a horrible story. As a renowned and trusted user reviewer on this site, I can say without a doubt that this is the worst film of 2019. How bad was it? Let me compare it to one of the greatest cinematic miracles of the century; Suicide Squad. Unlike MARVEL, DC has memorable characters. No one cares about Iron Man more than Captain Boomerang! I honestly do not care about Pepper either. She is just a boring character that moves the plot. Pathetic. Suicide Squad is FUN. Even though I had absolutely no idea what was going on, it still was a great film, because they fought bad guys. You could say Iron Man also fights baddies, but it doesn't have as much as an emotional impact as the amazing Suicide Squad. And also, what is that villain??? SO BAD! Marvel seriously need to take notes from DC, as they can actually develop villains such as Hector Hammond in Green Lantern and Mr. Freexe from Batman and Robin. I'm honestly astonished critics are viewing this movie as "passable". This movie should be banished to the depth of hell. Marvel seriously sucks and will forever be inferior to the DC universe.

With love,

With character development and bringing issues of "The Avengers," Iron Man 3 is better than its predecessor, but is lost to waste your drama to create a bad twist on behalf of excessive comic relief.

Absolutely hated the long run time. It really could have been a good 20-30 minutes shorter. All that unneeded filler during that time was sort of unneeded and it really hurt the film as a whole.

The action of the film is sort of disappointing as well. It's all flash with no real substance, Any on scene fight scenes generally range from a few seconds to a min (if that). It would have been nicer to see some more in-your-face fight scenes, Especially with Tony's (Iron Man) beef with the main villain.

The rest of the movie is pretty enjoyable. There is plenty of comedy through out, alright badly placed at times and it sort of throws off what should be key dramatic scenes. It's still enjoyable though and will get quite a few laughs from viewers. The acting is solid, no real complaints, I rather liked the additions of Ben Kingsley and Guy Pearce as well.

Overall, I think the bits of comedy through out really save it but the long run time was a real killer for this movie.… Expand

Otherwise you won't know what an Iron Man movie should look like, I would highly recommend Iron Man 1 over 3 or 2 any day. But Iron Man does have some good things... The destruction has always been a big part of Iron Man and in Iron Man 3 they still bring that back, I just felt the movie was so cheesy and there were really no characters to care about other than Tony Stark himself. Like I said before there are some good parts of the movie that I enjoyed, Tony Stark's humor is back and is still solid, the jokes were usually hit or miss but when they hit they were good. I recommend Iron Man 1 over and of the 2, as the second was mostly corny as well. I give this movie 6 only because of the humor, SFX, destruction and the opening 10-15 minutes were great. Otherwise I would stay away from this movie, and if you haven't seen the first one watch that! All the "reviewers" on this movie giving it a one have either a) based there opinion on just the one movie, not the trilogy b) based there review on how it did not follow the comic books which isn't a big deal c) have only wrote one review (spam). Otherwise I would recommend the movie to big action fans or fans of the series.… Expand

And the shoe fits, but not very comfortably. Robert Downey Jr. is excellent as usual, playing Tony Stark with such ease and smoothness that he just might save this movie. Iron Man 3 has more packed into its running time than the other movies. More action (or more violent action), more family friendly-parts, and more about Stark. But I feel like the plot is missing too much... explanation. I felt really confused with what was going on at times. I wish that the screenplay was better, but Downey really saved this film.

However then this kid showed up, he didn't ruin the film or anything but the film slightly dropped in quality but the dialogue was still great and Stark was on fire! But then Stark goes to take on 'the Mandarin'...*sigh*. When Kingsley walked out of the bathroom, my face sank. I was devastated, literally traumatized. I don't know who thought of this idea, but it is a terrible idea. Any comic book fan will be pissed watching this film. I don't even remember the rest it was so generic. Luckily I have fond memories of the fist half of the film, it really was great! But is you don't mind what happens to the Mandarin, you'll probably enjoy the film.… Expand

The movie is lacking a clear threatening villain, which takes away some of the tension. Alone this movie is pretty solid, up against other films like Thor and Iron Man 2, it really stands out, but with much better movies like Captain America, Iron Man, Avengers, and the Incredible Hulk, Iron Man 3 is a solid blockbuster that will make a killing in sales but will be forgotten in about a year.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Originally, I said this movie was "awesome", completely ignoring the fact that it disappointed all the true to heart fans when it came out. Looking at it now, I can see the mediocrity in it. First off, SPOILER WARNING!
I will be going through this film beginning to end, both from the eyes of me and a major fan boy. Iron man 2 was one of the BIGGEST disappointments from marvel I've seen yet, and I think a comic fan boy could agree. I want to go over why Iron Man 2 sucked so damn much, but this is NOT a review for that movie so lets get on with this crap. First off, the Mandarin is not really the Mandarin. Now, through my perspective, as someone who hasn't really read any of the comics, I don't care! But from a fan boy's perspective this was another total shame on marvel's part, I mean they are damned marvel after all, so why would they do this to us? The mandarin is later revealed to be some asshat with some type of flame power, who... wants revenge after Tony ditched him years ago? WHAT?!? To be honest I kinda liked tony's new powers, and while I didn't like the newcomer in the 2nd film, I felt my blood rush a little when the president was forced into the suit, to the fans, once again I can see the facepalm induced by this from the original fan boys. As for Stan Lee's cameo... :D if there's ONE thing I love about the Marvel movies its seeing a silly good ol' cameo from Stan Lee. The trailers made it look like this movie was going to be all about protecting Pepper or whatever her name is (at least from my perspective), and what did I find out about this when I actually saw it? It had nearly nothing to do about protecting her!
Here are some serious grudges I had with this entry 1) Less of iron man, more like regular man
2) before the suit could stay on for hours, why it can run out of batteries in this entree way before it did in its predecessors... I DON'T KNOW. 3) Tony loses his heart-thing in the end and 4) in the VERY end of the film Tony says something like "...I am iron man", even though he loses his powers, and while this is a nice ending line, it leaves little confusion to whether a 4th iron man will be made.

MY FINAL SCORE IS: 5 out of 10
THE FANBOY'S SCORE: 3.9 out of 10

PROS
-Nice action scenes
-Still a little better than iron man 2

CONS
-Stays the hell away from the comic books that formed the story of iron man
-No real mandarin.. THIS WAS TONYS WORST ENEMY!
-Less iron man, more regular man
-Leaves some confusion on ending line… Expand

The Good: As expected, Downey, Jr showed once again why he was born to play Tony Stark. Paltrow and Cheadle nailed their respective roles once more, and newcomers Kingsley and Pearce put in their usual great performances. The effects were top notch and the storyline, based on the popular "Extremis" arc in the comics, was a great idea. The final battle was extremely well done and some of the new ways that the armor(s) were used was very creative.

The Bad: However, the villains left me more than little underwhelmed, despite the great performances from the actors involved. There was also a little too much wit and humor that at times felt out of place. I also wish that Stark had utilized the armor more as the scenes with him in Iron Man mode were too few and too short. Lastly, as a comic book nerd and a huge fan of Mandarin, I was not a fan of his portrayal. I don't want to ruin it for those who have not seen it, but I really wish that he had been as advertised.… Expand

Mandarin aside, which comic junkies will kill this film for, this movie just wasn't Ironman. Yes, there are a ton of Ironman suits, but Tony Stark spends more time being James Bond than Ironman. The emotions and stress that Stark is dealing with is interesting, and the subtle references to The Avengers is good, but other than that, this movie had no real depth at all. The motives for the bad guys is not really evident, nor is the explanation of the extremis virus. One minute you have a glowing man turning into a bomb and the next you have 10 glowing guys who breathe fire and regenerate except when killed?!?!?!?! All the Ironman suits were cool but how they get to that point is pretty pointless. It was an ok movie, and probably better than the second one, but was more of a money grab than a great film.… Expand

Es una película bastante graciosa pero la verdad decepciona y mucho. El Mandarín es un gran villano y estaba siendo muy bien interpretado, que desperdicio.

Un exciting, dull, boring and a lackluster sequel. Total disappointment, mainly caused by the trailers which made this movie seem epic in scale when really it was the smallest of the 3.

The Mandarin is yet another forgettable MCU villain due to his unclear motives. One of the few MCU disappointments.… Expand

Iron Man 3 completed the Tony Stark trilogy. Iron Man Imho is not the most interesting character about which you can make a trilogy. And the closing third film only underscores that. In general, you can watch the film 1 time, but no more than

Iron Man Three

Black definitely goes back to early filmmaking tactics. Scoffing off all the pop culture references and not including an analogous rhythm in the system, there is an admiring obligation that he feels towards his viewers. Shane Black, the co-writer and director, ought to and has to justify his characters by giving them enough reasons and room to pitch in, no matter what and how big a price he has to pay, he takes it with a big smile on his face. In the previous chapter of Favreau, the humor was turned to 11, and even though compared to it, it still is low and smooth, it also is questionable at times in here.

Personally, I feel that this is MCU's biggest threat, contrary to popular opinion, this double edged sword might one day consume a film in its sweetness. Take the last act, for instance, Downey in a port going mano-y-mano with Guy Pearce and taking heavy losses still keeps a certain levity in his vocab. Now, this is something that often happens in this franchise that vigorously rottens its sincerity. These tiny things are accounted, for the game this franchise is now, a mistake like such isn't acceptable.

And not that the film is competent in every other way, in fact, if anything, it sort of is a mirror to the original Favreau chapter, from cornering Downey to prove himself beyond and without his wealth and fame, to still trying to balance him on the edge of the responsibility factor. Don Cheadle gets a much bigger half in the supporting cast, with lots of eye rolling and sarcastic exhales. Excluding the fist fight, Pearce is not a threatening antagonist, nor is Gwyneth Paltrow or Rebecca Hall a decent supporter. Ben Kingsley's character paints the picture with accurate colors, where Downey tries a lot but against all odds, Iron Man Three remains a distraction, a colorful one though.… Expand

None of the Ironman movies have been beyond just passing and this one isn't too different besides the fact it's evidence of the trilogies decline. Tony's search for revenge is a humorless dovetail into the worst parts of action movies.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Iron Man 3 was the biggest letdown ever. This movie was so stupid, poorly acted, provocative, childish, corny, and unrealistic. Not to mention it has the worst plot twist in cinematic history. The most disappointing MCU movie and the second worst one right behind Thor: The Dark World. The trailers were all lies, they promised us a dark, epic, serious, life-threatening struggle and adventure for Tony Stark and him trying to find and confront the Mandarin, but what we ended up getting was a stupid cookie-cutter kids’ movie with terrible, unfunny jokes, bad acting, countless plot holes, a billionaire’s bodyguard who had a mullet back in 1999 even though mullets weren’t styled that year, a former bodyguard that is now head of security who is a stupid fatass that does not know how to flip a screen on an iPad, an idiotic protagonist who got himself into a bad situation and his own mansion destroyed by revealing his own home address to a terrorist on live TV, a protagonist who has poorly acted and unconvincing PTSD scenes with wooden acting, an annoying **** girlfriend who is damsel in distress (played by an obnoxious, arrogant, snobby actress), a supervillain who is a Syndrome rip-off, a sidekick in a much less cool flying suit of armor than in the previous Iron Man film that is wasted and doesn’t kill any enemies with it, an annoying kid (played by a child actor who couldn’t act) who at first couldn’t recognize the world’s most famous man in his garage despite reading the front newspaper article of that arrogant billionaire supposedly being dead after his mansion was destroyed by terrorists in helicopters, a sidekick who could detect heat signatures on people in the Middle East but somehow couldn’t detect the Extremis woman disguised as a Muslim and gets paralyzed after shaking her hot hand and she is still somehow able to kidnap him and take him to their lair despite him weighing heavy in the Iron Patriot suit, a drunken British actor pretending to be the Mandarin who was just working for the Syndrome rip-off the entire time, a president who gets kidnapped by being put into the Iron Patriot suit and flying himself to the docks instead of fighting back because the Syndrome rip-off’s sidekick somehow forced him to...., an Iron Man armor getting destroyed so incredibly easily a bunch of times even when it was run over by a truck and broke into pieces despite the Mark III Iron Man armor surviving a hit from a tank missile, the hero telling his sidekick that the Iron Man armors were only coded to him despite the fact that his **** girlfriend and the villain being able to wear one of them too, the villain surviving wearing a suit that self-destructed, the **** girlfriend surviving a fall and saving the day by killing the villain instead of the hero, the hero destroying all of his own suits just to please his annoying **** then throwing away his mini arc reactor into the sea at the end, and no AC/DC music. What a stupid and disappointing way to end the Iron Man Trilogy! No real Iron Man fan likes this god-awful movie. Easily the worst and most disappointing one in the Iron Man Trilogy. Shane Black is a douchebag! This movie SUCKS!!!… Expand

Guy Pearce? Not so much. He's a pretty basic villain. I do however love his henchman, Savin.

I like seeing Tony out of his armor for most of the movie and I also love how useless the Mark 42 is. I love how it deals with his trauma after the events of The Avengers.… Expand

Robert Downey Jr. continues to be a lot of fun as the lead, while Don Cheadle is more enjoyable than he is in 'Iron Man 2'. Guy Pearce and Ben Kingsley are good to watch too, the latter amused me more than I thought he would.

I'd rank this higher than the 2010 sequel, though it's still a fair distance off the original. This 2013 film leaves a positive impression.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Iron Man 3, dirigida por Shane Black, nos trae una nueva entrega de las aventuras de Tony Stark y su alter ego, Iron Man. Esta tercera entrega sorprende gratamente al ofrecer una trama emocionante, una exploración más profunda del personaje y momentos impactantes que mantienen al espectador cautivado de principio a fin.

El guion de Iron Man 3 es uno de sus mayores aciertos. La historia es más personal y arriesgada, alejándose de la fórmula típica de las películas de superhéroes. La trama se centra en el viaje interno de Tony Stark, quien se enfrenta a sus miedos y debilidades mientras lucha contra el enigmático Mandarín. El giro sorprendente en torno al villano agrega un nivel de intriga adicional y mantiene al espectador constantemente enganchado.

Robert Downey Jr. continúa entregando una actuación brillante como Tony Stark. Su carisma y humor característicos siguen siendo una delicia de ver, pero en Iron Man 3, también nos muestra una vulnerabilidad y una profundidad emocional que añade capas al personaje. La relación entre Tony Stark y Pepper Potts, interpretada por Gwyneth Paltrow, también se desarrolla de manera satisfactoria, brindando momentos conmovedores y auténticos.

Las escenas de acción en Iron Man 3 son espectaculares y llenas de emoción. La secuencia del ataque a la mansión de Tony Stark es particularmente impresionante, mostrando la ingeniosidad de Iron Man y su armadura en medio del caos. Además, la dirección de Shane Black aporta un estilo fresco a las escenas de combate, con un enfoque más íntimo y mano a mano que añade una dosis adicional de intensidad.

Aunque algunos críticos pueden argumentar que la película pierde un poco de su enfoque en la parte final, es innegable que Iron Man 3 es un capítulo emocionante y gratificante en la saga. La combinación de una historia más íntima, una actuación destacada de Robert Downey Jr. y secuencias de acción emocionantes hacen que esta entrega se destaque en el género de superhéroes.

En resumen, Iron Man 3 es una película que supera las expectativas y deja una fuerte impresión en los fanáticos de Marvel. Con su guion sorprendente, actuaciones sólidas y emocionantes escenas de acción, es una experiencia cinematográfica que vale la pena disfrutar. Ya sea que seas un fanático del héroe de hierro o simplemente un amante del género de superhéroes, Iron Man 3 seguramente te mantendrá entretenido y satisfecho.… Expand
