Ironman 3 - Reviewed
Cast: Robert Downey Jr, Gwyneth Paltrow, Ben Kingsley , Guy Pearce, Don Cheadle, Rebecca Hall,
Director: Shane Black
The third installment of Ironman is the superhero's journey played by Robert Downey Jr of finding the demons he created and destroying them. The third installment takes cues from The Avengers rather than the second installment of Ironman and it works for the movie.
The movie starts with Tony Stark partying hard and ushering the new millennium in Switzerland, while the crowd waits with bated breathe just to understand how Tony creates his own demons. Flash to the present day where a new bad guy Mandarin ( Played flawlessly by Ben Kingsley) threatens to get the US government down post the attack in New York. Tony is mentally worn out and has anxiety issues to deal with. He is unable to get even his siestas, forget about sleep which strains his relationship with Pepper Potts ( Gwyneth Paltrow).
Meanwhile, a good looking bio-tech and geneticist Aldrich Killian (Guy Pearce) teams up with Mandarin, so its super villains versus super hero and also along the way Tony Stark discovers his answer that secretly haunted him for all this while - does the man make the suit or does the suit make the man?
Shane Black takes over from Jon Favreau in this epic 3rd installement and makes Tony Stark more mortal than the first two installments. The 3d visuals are spectacularly shot. The cinematography along with the computer generated images and 3D merge seamlessly into frames making the entire movie watching experience amazing.
The actions set along with the stunts are breathtaking. The mid-air rescue operation (ala Dark Knight Rises) as well as the Iron Man suits either flying or fighting on their own is a visual treat for the audience.
Ben Kingsley adds a great comic dimension to this Chinese looking Osama-bin-Laden-esque villain. While Gwyneth Paltrow and Rebecca Hall have nothing much to display, Guy Pearce nails his character to the T. But it is Ty Simpkins as Harley, the smart kid who surpasses expectations with a terrific performance as a friend and ally to Tony and lays the foundation for the next sequel of the franchisee.
Overall, it is the grand canvas of Ironman 3 that is enough to engage the audience for 130 odd minutes and do wait for the end credits to roll on to get the surprise package of the movie.
I am going with 3.5 out of 5 for this installment of Ironman, go watch it to enthrall yourself on a lazy weekend.
