The third installment of the popular franchise,
the Iron Man 3 follows the events described in Avengers. “Nothing has been the
same since New York”, claims Tony Stark as he battles with anxieties, panic
attacks and insomnia. His arrogance and over-confidence leaves his life
shattered, his girlfriend in danger and the world on the brink of collapse –
and thus he need to start to put himself together piece by piece to save those
he cares about.
Even though I generally like the Iron Man
franchise – I even remember watching cartoons about him when I was younger – it
was never my favourite. It is not as serious, dark or severe as some of the other
superheroes movies are. It never attempted to provide a food for brain, however
little the comics books can give; jaw-dropping was also not its strongest suit;
its goal was solely mindless entertainment. Surprisingly enough, the movies
didn’t have a lot of action or explosions. The Iron Man trademark attractions
always were badass jokes and charismatic main character who could easily and
with a charming smile find a way out of even the hardest situation.
