Iron Man 3 Review SPOILERS

I waited a whole week to write a review of Iron Man 3. The movie was just OK for me. It was good, everything you want for a summer blockbuster, but I was expecting something more. Maybe I was expecting Iron Man to actually be in his suit for most of the movie... This is my biggest complaint. We did not see Iron Man be Iron Man. We saw Tony Stark struggle with PTSD and therefore tinker with his suits. He was broken, so his suits are broken.

This track would have been a good route for the movie if Iron Man was an introspective character. He isn't, he lives in the moment. This is at least the way I have seen in him in the last two movies, plus Avengers. It may have been the symptoms and way they wrote the PTSD into the script. It was hokey, yes I used the word hokey. The symptoms and the portrayal did not ring true to me. Watching Tony Stark get thrown into a panic attack by a 10 year old boy was too unbelievable. 

There was many things in the movie to like. Ben Kinglsely was brilliant. I know comic book fans hate the twist, but I actually loved this part of the move and loved Kingsley and his role. He played it beautifully. What else do you expect out of a man who can play Gandhi? I am ecstatic too watch him as Major Rackem in Enders Game. 

The skydive sequence off Air Force one was spectacular. Heightened by the fact they did not use special effects to capture the scene. The villain was OK, nothing special, but not horrible either. All in All Iron Man 3 was a fun movie, and one I will buy. It just left me wanting a little more. More action, more actual Iron Man, more fun banter. The things which I loved in the first two movies.
