Plagued with worry and insomnia since saving New York from destruction, Tony Stark (Robert Downey Jr.), now, is more dependent on the suits that give him his Iron Man persona -- so much so that every aspect of his life is affected, including his relationship with Pepper (Gwyneth Paltrow). After a malevolent enemy known as the Mandarin (Ben Kingsley) reduces his personal world to rubble, Tony must rely solely on instinct and ingenuity to avenge his losses and protect the people he loves.

Beyond all the explosions and action set pieces and 3D wizardry, you can still hear a writer with a distinctive, entertaining voice.

While it was funny and the visuals were great, I walked out with a feeling that can be described simply in one word: disappointed.

5/5

Circumvents all of the expectations for the character and for the franchise, thanks hugely to filmmaker Shane Black. Makes for the perfect epilogue to more bombastic entries into the MCU to tell an immensely personal story.

3.5/4

Better than its immediate predecessor but not quite topping the original, this third entry in the franchise proves to be one of the best from Marvel yet.

La trilogía de Iron Man es buenísima. Iron Man 3 es divertida, tiene personalidad, tecnología, diversión, comedia, romance, aventura. Tony tiene un desarrollo de personaje buenísimo (admito que darle su dirección a todo el mundo, especialmente a un terrorista, teniendo en cuenta que está viviendo con la única persona que ama, fue estúpido). Además de verlo lidiar con las consecuencias de su pasado y la realidad de su presente, ves a Tony vivir algo tan real como la ansiedad. Al mismo tiempo, los personajes que lo rodean tienen un buen avance y son entretenidos. Pepper carga con la empresa y al mismo tiempo con Tony. Se aprecia el vínculo entre Tony y Happy. Los villanos están bien; entiendes que, como dice Tony, son demonios que él mismo creó. Sin embargo, no podría estar más de acuerdo con que Tony pudo haberse enfrentado al verdadero Mandarin, y no a una copia. Creo que pudieron haber justificado la ausencia de otros Vengadores, al menos con una llamada. Amo a Iron Man.

That finale was epic, this is a great start to phase 2, I love it, going to watch it every Christmas, but come to think about it, It kind of reminds me of the Incredibles.

Complete embarrassment for Iron Man... Biggest false advertisement known to man. Mandarin should have never been touched if this was the bait and switch plot they came up with.

Treatment, tell your doctor this is my favorite Iron Man movie. The emotional stakes were higher with Pepper and danger. All those suits that show up in the climatic ending were awesome!

Not terrible, but other than the iron legion there's nothing to write home about. A slight nod to Tony Stark's need for Ultron. Better than other xmas films at least
