The first big blockbuster of 2013 IRON MAN 3 is officially out and is an epic conclusion to the trilogy.
Starring Robert Downey Jr. as Tony Stark aka. Iron Man along with Gwyneth Paltrow and Don Cheadler also reprising their roles with the addition of Guy Pearce, Ben Kingsley and Rebecca Hall as new additions.
The film is very unlikely to win best picture at next years Oscars, though best SFX is a more probable with nearly every scene having some sort of visual effect to 'wow' the audience; so necessary, others just gimmicky. My main problem with this film is that it has lost its appeal as believable. Ok, so a man in a custom-made flying suit is not exactly real, but the first film made you actually believe such a thing could be possible as you saw Stark building and testing the first Iron Man suits, with some funny and epic results. In Iron Man 3 how ever there are several suits, all of which are remote controlled (so need for any one to actually be in them) but also the parts are remotely connected and can literally 'fly' onto Stark at his command even if he is half-way across America.
Iron Man 3 is defiantly worth a watch though as it has many twists and turns that some times leaves the audience confused as to how the film will end; though it is always obvious that the good guy will prevail and the bad guy will fall. The choice of villains are very well cast, though the inclusion of exploding enemies is not something I am big fan of.
7/10
