Hi! We are Critics Consensus. We post the regular critics opinion for video games and movies! Today it is me reviewing Iron Man 3.
When Iron Man 3 is released it opens the jar that contains all the other summer movies. So is Iron Man 3 a satisfying start to the summer movie schedule or does it leave a bad taste in front of moviegoers? Let’s find out. Iron Man 3 reminded me of Indiana Jones And The Kingdom Of The Crystal Skull in it’s writing. It’s way better than Crystal Skull because it’s funny and has good performances but when it seems like a regular movie, everything just gets way too over-the-top. I don’t want to spoil it but you will be surprised, maybe a bit angry. In fact they don’t show any of this stuff in the trailers and it’s in most of the movie so you are left perplexed on top of being disappointed. Iron Man 3 is not horrible, far from that. The dialogue is written smart and funny and will have you laughing as much as The Avengers. The problem is it’s not written by Joss Whedon so the writing is not too spectacular so the plot falls a little and can’t grab itself up. The action will never end (in a good way) and the pacing is sub-par but Iron Man 3 fails on another aspect. It was supposed to be dark as director Shane Black stated but it does not really get too dark till the last fifteen minutes. Iron Man 3 is certainly not a waste of two hours but I feel that if you turn your brain off you might enjoy it. I’ll give Iron Man 3 a 6.5 out of 10. In other words you should probably get it on Netflix or Redbox when it comes out.
