Iron Man 3 - A Review

3.5 Stars - Kind of disappointing

The Marvel Cinematic universe has returned in the shape of Iron Man 3, so naturally I was hyped to go see it, sadly it wasn't as good as I was hoping.

While there is a lot of stuff that works, principally the comedy aspects, this is a pretty funny film. However I feel as though a lot of the best action was spoiled in the trailer and there's something about Iron Man's suit that he wears for most of the film that's just kind of distracting... I think it's got too much gold and not enough red. Colour balance matters people.

Ultimately I'd say there are three major crimes of this film, 1) An awful villain, sadly I can't go into this much without delving into spoiler territory. 2) No appearances by characters from the other Avengers films, I'm not asking for much here, just that a fair bit of the film makes you wonder why aren't S.H.I.E.L.D. doing anything about this? (slight correction, Mark Ruffalo does have a cameo as Bruce Banner, but I didn't even realise while I was watching it) 3) No AC/DC.

You have no idea how disappointed you'll be by him...

In short, just not able to match up to the Avengers. Still you're all going to see it anyway, so what does it matter what I think?
