Iron Man 3



Does the suit make the man or does the man make the suit? Such a question has been haunting Tony ever since the attack on New York in The Avengers. He's unable to sleep, and when he does he has recurring nightmares. He also begins to have panic attacks. The only time that he feels safe and sound is when he's in his garage tinkering away at his suits. Of course in doing so he alienates himself from his friends and the one person he cares about the most - Pepper Potts. She pleads with him to let his suits go, but he can't. It takes a terror greater than any Tony Stark has ever faced before in the form of an unknown terrorist who calls himself The Mandarin for him to shrug off his doubt and insecurities and answer once and for all: Does the suit make the man or does the man make the suit?

Iron Man 3 is an action-packed adventure that is a lot of fun, hilarious at times, but at the same time a bit disappointing. The action is insane and thrilling, yet the story itself is full of holes; it didn't explain very well how some characters fit in, had some pretty predictable twists, and the one twist that should have been a complete shocker ended up being a cheap ploy to keep the story afloat. The only things that saved the movie for me was the humor, the action, Ben Kingsley's character and of course Mr. Tony Stark himself. Even though Iron Man 3 is the worst in the trilogy it still ended up being pretty entertaining.
