Plagued with worry and insomnia since saving New York from destruction, Tony Stark (Robert Downey Jr.), now, is more dependent on the suits that give him his Iron Man persona -- so much so that every aspect of his life is affected, including his relationship with Pepper (Gwyneth Paltrow). After a malevolent enemy known as the Mandarin (Ben Kingsley) reduces his personal world to rubble, Tony must rely solely on instinct and ingenuity to avenge his losses and protect the people he loves.

Beyond all the explosions and action set pieces and 3D wizardry, you can still hear a writer with a distinctive, entertaining voice.

While it was funny and the visuals were great, I walked out with a feeling that can be described simply in one word: disappointed.

5/5

Circumvents all of the expectations for the character and for the franchise, thanks hugely to filmmaker Shane Black. Makes for the perfect epilogue to more bombastic entries into the MCU to tell an immensely personal story.

3.5/4

Better than its immediate predecessor but not quite topping the original, this third entry in the franchise proves to be one of the best from Marvel yet.

It is upsetting that kids will watch this movie. It is full of bad influences. It's sexist, offensive, and obnoxious. Women are called "birds" at least twice and are often depicted as mostly naked walking around, or in bed with casual threesomes implied. There are many drug and alcohol references in the script and visually. Also full of violence as expected. I think RDJ really sold out on this one and I lost a lot of respect for him... I should add that I do really like Iron Man 1 and some other Marvel films but this one was just bad.
