After watching Iron Man 3 this past weekend, I discovered I was a lot more impressed with the movie than I thought I would be.

Robert Downey Jr. reprises his role as the smooth talking, playboy genius Tony Stark, otherwise known as Iron Man. This movie is definitely more in depth than the other films and reveals more of Stark’s weaknesses. Stark’s love of friends and family comes into play, as terrorist attacks in his home city cause his anger to skyrocket. When his girlfriend’s life is put in danger, Stark must fight to save her, as well as the city. Plagued by anxiety attacks, Stark is close to realizing that the events that happened in the previous film may have affected him more than he thought. His arrogance and anger provoke him to challenge a terrorist, who is clearly stronger than he is. Nonetheless, his own strength, as well as his good sense of humor, help maintain his hope and encourage his will to fight up until the very last moment of the movie.

Iron Man 3 is definitely a great movie to see for those who love a combination of action and comedy. Honestly, I believe that almost anyone would enjoy this movie. The plot is witty, fast-paced, and action-packed. The film will leave you on the edge of your seat, especially during the final scene. Stark’s sarcastic remarks and funny observations make this movie entertaining and thrilling, which is exactly the way Iron Man should always be portrayed.

If you decide to watch the movie, don’t forget to stay and watch the credits. In fact, the end of any DC movie includes a series of teasers and extra scenes. You will not be disappointed!
