Even Tony Stark, who ignores his chick a little too much while he tinkers with new Iron Man prototypes. And then he says some threatening shit to a very scary terrorist and all hell breaks lose and damn if this isn’t one of the best superhero movies ever made.
Iron Man 3 is really, really good – maybe the best version yet – though it’s kinda not a surprise. I remember going with my mom to see the first Sherlock Holmes with Robert Downey, Jr. The theater was packed, and my mom wondered if it was because it was the classic Sherlock Holmes character or because Robert Downey was playing him. No doubt it was Robert. The most charismatic actor alive.
Combine him with co-writer/director Shane Black, and it’s a grand slam. Shane created the Lethal Weapon franchise, and when it comes to making a script as funny and cool as possible, Shane does it like a boss. You know a movie’s good when leaving the theater, you have the urge to fight the first man, woman or child who so much as makes eye contract with you. I would have, but fear of incarceration is kind of a buzzkill.
See it this week.
