And it gets bigger and better
The film
kicks off with a brief footage of Tony Stark’s past event where a one night
stand results into much more than just the girl hating him. He is soon shown in
the present having sleepless nights in his 5 star workshop with an
uncontrollable anxiety of something he cannot comprehend. Unlike the previous
flicks, IM 3 gets deep into the emotions of Tony Stark the husband. The scenes
where he reveals his fears of losing his beloved wife, Pepper played by Gwyneth
Paltrow are touching and set out a new thread for the Iron Man’s character. The
Villain is obviously the fierce Mandarin, taken from the Iron Man comics, but
given an internationally political vibe, say an Osama Bin Laden of a super hero
film.
Iron Man 3
is certainly not as intelligent as a Dark Knight, but it still makes the
experience super satisfying with sheer style, technology and fantastic lead
actors. Robert Downy, Jr. makes Iron man so charming and effortless that you wouldn’t
mind sitting for another two hours to simply enjoy his crack ups in the film. Paltrow
gets a larger footage time this around and she shines through her part. Ben
Kingsley as the Mandarin is exceptional, and you would know why only after having
watched the second half.
Technology
has taken a bigger leap from the previous instalments. Scenes where parts of
the Iron Man suit fly out and bombard Stark’s body one by one to fit in are
amazingly edited. The fierce attack at Malibu, or the bomb blasts or the finale
sequence could give any super hero flick a run for their money. Watch the scene
where the suit grabs Pepper to save her from the falling ceiling but soon
leaves her to reach its true master, and you’d realise how well the suit had been
engineered before the shooting began.
The 3D
however is ordinary with no particular scene where it totally blows you off.
This makes it a decent 2D view, and you wouldn’t want to wait to buy tickets
for a 3D show. Iron Man 3 hints at being the last one of the series, but doesn’t
confirm it. If you haven’t watched the previous flicks, Iron Man 3 can get self
explanatory.
I am going
with a 4 out of 5 for Shane Black’s Iron Man 3. Watch it if you are into action
movies, if not, watch it anyway!
