The Guardian Review -
To use a recondite term in professional film criticism: whoo-hoo!
Iron Man 3 is descending on cinemas with an almighty crash, assuming the dramatic-yet-camp landing pose that Tony Stark in his exo-body-chassis favours on arrival: right knee down, right fist in the smashed asphalt, left elbow back, head up. This is luxury superhero entertainment and the director and co-writer is Shane Black, who gave us the excellent
Kiss Kiss Bang Bang in 2005. I bow down to Mr Black as the
Aaron Sorkin of action comedy; he gets the biggest laugh of the year with a joke about Croydon, with some additional Anglophile kisses blown to
Downton Abbey, and what I suspect is a disguised homage to Mike Myers's immortal creation Austin Powers.
And then, showing that Black playfully relishes the Hollywood convention of casting Brit thesps as the bad guys, there is the terrifying middle-eastern terrorist, Mandarin, played with relish by
Ben Kingsley. Mandarin is taking to the airwaves to gloat over his various explosions, which appear to happen without bombs. Oddly, Mandarin prefers old-school television for these publicity appearances and has no Twitter account. Meanwhile, Stark has to juggle a tense relationship with his old buddy James Rhodes (
Don Cheadle) and beautiful ex-girlfriend Maya (Rebecca Hall).
Robert Downey Jr is back, smashing walls and cracking wise as the billionaire industrialist Tony Stark, now out of the closet as Iron Man, living the dream in his future-tech clifftop pad and co-habiting with the beautiful Pepper Potts –
Gwyneth Paltrow's excellent, relaxed performance making me wish she spent more time on film sets and less with her nutritional website. As so often in modern superhero tales, Stark's confrontation with wickedness triangulates into a question of two separate evildoers. Guy Pearce plays suave science entrepreneur Aldrich Killian — brilliant, yet unstable and unprincipled in the traditional manner – whose obsession with Stark may arise from a traumatic rejection in his youth, rather like Syndrome in
The Incredibles.
Iron
man 3 was overall a success, however blogs made by the films viewers were
negative. Therefore the negative reviews from the bloggers did not impact the
success of the film. Bloggers stated that the film was entertaining at times
but did’t
fully grasp the attention of the viewer. Iron man 3 was the last film of the
iron man franchise an therefore the
expectations were high, the film could not live up to the hype.
