Iron Man 1, brilliant.
\nIron Man 2, OK.
\nIron Man 3, Really good but a bit of a mystery.<\/p>\n

Plot<\/h2>\n

This is where the film kind of confuses me. It\u2019s sort of about a bunch of super human geyser elements trying to blow things up. But it\u2019s also about a terrorist organisation trying to the teach the world a lesson. But the two are sort of the same thing, but not really. It\u2019s also sort of about Tony Stark having panic attacks, but we\u2019re not really sure why, and it\u2019s also sort of about his Iron Mannery getting a bit out of control, but I fail to see how that\u2019s a problem.<\/p>\n

So while I\u2019m not sure what the film is about, I am very sure I really enjoyed it. Especially the comedy aspects, which, having been present in number one and two, are almost omni-present in three. Keep a close eye on The Mandarin, he\u2019s not what he seems, but what he is, is infinitely better.<\/p>\n

Acting<\/h2>\n

Look, it\u2019s Iron Man, right. So Robert will be cute and funny and tragic and stuff. And he is. And Gwyneth will be pouty and disapproving and sexy-like. And she is. And Don will be, well Don will be Don right? He always is. None of them are going to get any Oscars, but they know that as well as we do. It is what it is, and it\u2019s awesome. Except for Sir Ben. Sir Ben might get an Oscar. He won\u2019t, but he maybe kinda could.<\/p>\n

Directing<\/h2>\n

Jon Favreau, hands over the reins to Shane Black, who did a better job with Kiss Kiss Bang Bang, but a good job here. It\u2019s not rocket science and he doesn\u2019t get in its way.<\/p>\n

So\u2026<\/h2>\n

It\u2019s Iron Man. It\u2019s good solid super-hero fun. It\u2019s what Thor wishes it was and what The Avengers couldn\u2019t have existed without. Go see it, you know you want to, and you won\u2019t be disappointed. Just a bit befuddled.<\/p>\n

Take the 13+ kids, but be careful, you\u2019ll enjoy it as much as they will.<\/p>\n
