Iron Man 3 (2013)

Has Iron Man finally met his match? No of course not but they try to pitch it that way. Overall this is a visual movie with lots of action and flash and paint. Story wise it doesn't hold up as well. Purists will be pulling their hair out at the less than stellar Mandarin and the rest of us are left a little puzzled by the seeming lack of intelligence shown by supposedly intelligent characters.  But enough of that, few people go see a movie like this for character intricacies, they want eye candy and they get it in spades with this film.  For me the first one is still the best and they descend in the order they came out. It will be interesting if they close the door on the franchise here, after another Avengers movie, or if a 4 is in the works. Recommended.
