MD - Iron Man 3


After a disappointing second outing, IM3 returns to a character driven formula. Tony Stark’s existential crisis is lived out through a number of top set pieces with the villain pairing of the ever-reliable Guy Pearce and a fully committed Sir Ben mirroring his own duality.

There are laughs, spills and a beat-em-up finale that drags a bit but its all good natured and sits firmly within the spirit of Marvel comics which often take us to dark and difficult places to examine the counter personas of its heroes.

With everyone treating the material with the reverence it deserves IM3 probably rates the best so far.

And a ‘smash’ing post credits sequence too.

8/10
