Iron Man 3




Cast: Robert Downey Jr., Gwyneth Paltrow,Guy Pearce,Don Cheadle,Ben Kingsley
Director: Shane Black
Genre: Action, Sci-Fi

Over hyped piece of junk. Keeping expectations low is strongly suggested

Pluses:
  • Gwyneth Paltrow did a great job. You can see her rising, from a PA to a hard core business woman to an Iron Lady in itself. She is the lady of the movie undoubtedly
  • You may like the over all feel of the movie. After all its our favorite Iron Man. You find things humorous at its place. Some good action as well here and there. A few scenes may be to even clap for :)
  • And now there is an open end to the sci fi drama. We are to see what comes next to the series of Iron Man

Lukewarm:
  • It feels like Robert Downey Jr wanted a movie made to himself. He didnt want to hide behind the suit any more. Hence, he made a complete humorous caricature of himself. Cracking jokes and one liners for what we love him. But alas! all the humor cannot pull the movie through without the iconic Iron Man into some serious action instead of playing around with kids or fooling around.
  • You will enjoy Robert Downey Jr's role, and he will make you laugh, but thats not enough for an Iron Man, doesnt make him complete
  • Ben Kingsley had a rather short role and a rather deceiving one. You will like him for sometime and then the character starts irritating you
  • Don Cheadle has always had a lukewarm support, so does he here as well

Minuses:
  • The entire overthrow looks like a mistake coming from the director.Jon Favreau is the man for Iron Man series. Change of director is not a very happy welcome. Shane Black screwed up the entire feel of Iron Man
  • The sci fi super hero character bogged down to the level where it doesnt matter he exists or not. Innumerous automated suits can act for him. Don Cheadle can take up his place. Never the least, Gwyneth Paltrow can become the Iron Lady. Why do we really need an icon then, and where do we need him!! He aint saving any world
  • All we see are the bad men trying to destroy him. US President in Hollywood movies are reduced down to puny materials. Every now and then being captured. No feel of authority, just a mere showpiece. Even the president can get into the suit of an Iron Man, big deal :P
  • Lame script. Absolutely no show and tell of how things are happening. America was never such low on security in movies for President, that someone can simply enter in a suit without any checks and can wreck a havoc. Bad men looked more of a zombie than sci fi villains. A big let down
  • Guy Pearce hence didnt have a good job to do. He wasnt handsome, he wasnt fierce, he wasnt a lover nor was he any threatening


 My Rating: 2.5/5
