The movie begins with The Mandarin addressing the public and the President of the US of his terrorising activities and warns of his imminent invasion while Tony Stark (who else?) returns post the New York battle with the rest of The Avengers to find himself insomniac, haunted by the alien invasion. To counter his psychological problems he got himself immersed with his Iron Man suits, particularly developing a new but troubled armour that automatically assembles onto him... or whoever he wants. There is also the Iron Patriot armour used by Stark's buddy Colonel Rhodes.
The audience will not find any lack of action and it's also well balanced with plenty of comedic moments. I can safely say that this is not a boring movie. The trailer here doesn't give much away any plot details so you'll have to really watch the movie to know what is really going on beneath the surface of this good versus evil act of terrorism.
It's really quite good with Robert Downey Jr. playing the billionaire well just like in the previous two movies with Gwyneth Paltrow having a much bigger role here than just pure eye candy and love interest. Sir Ben Kingsley is of particular interest here. However, I was just irritated at how the odds turned so easily when Tony Stark and his buddy Colonel Rhodes were faced with The Mandarin's horde at the finale.
Action 3/5.
Twists 2/5.
Comedy 3/5.
Effects and sound 3/5.
The whole thing 3/5.
Sorry that I have a long way to improve on my attempts at reviewing movies. And by the way, don't leave your seats when the end credits come on. Too many people did... and missed out the post credits scene.
