Platicsco Good story, Not enough for a whole film

Patience Watson One of those movie experiences that is so good it makes you realize you've been grading everything else on a curve.

jacobjohntaylor1 This is a great movie. It has a great story line. It also has great acting. It also great special effects. Very fast past. The Avengers age of Ultron is better. But still this is a very good movie.

cricketbat Iron Man 3 starts off strong, but it gets weaker and weaker as the movie moves along. It seems to depend on smoke (witty dialogue) and mirrors (cool action sequences) to distract audiences from the convoluted storyline and the occasional plot hole. Even Robert Downey Jr., as entertaining as he is, seems to be coasting through this film. Plus, in the end, they try and quickly wrap everything up in a tidy trilogy package and it just doesn't work. This movie is on par with Iron Man 2, but it's nowhere near the greatness of the original Iron Man film.

paulclaassen I've never seen a movie where SO MUCH happens at the right time, the right place at the right moment. Too much just happens by chance and for the sake of making the movie work. Nothing is justified. Some good scenes, but overall way too much CGI and unconvincing storyline. Stark's character has become one-dimensional and painfully predictable, and quite annoying, actually.

jcruz-42957 Iron Man 3 is the worst of the Iron Man trilogy. The narrative has no flow to it making it move along slowly and jaggedly. It makes many attempts to get going but it never picks up speed. Stuttery pacing and underwhelming action bogs the movie down. Robert Downey Jr. does what he can but it isn't enough to make the movie worth seeing. The character arc he follows doesn't seem to work and is less satisfying than his arc in his first two movies and even in The Avengers. Stark is put up in conflict with a villain who fails to make an impact. Driven by bad visual effects, the villain is just another boring antagonist to move the story along. There's only two action sequences that are enjoyable. The rest of the action is just disjointed, and short spurted. At the end of the second act and the beginning of the third act there is a buddy cop aspect between Stark and Rhodey that works great. When that aspect is present the movie actually starts to find its groove, but that groove disintegrates before you know it. Overall, Iron Man 3 lack's that certain eccentric feel that the first two movies did, and the result is an underwhelming and clunky film that should have dedicated more of it's time to being a buddy cop adventure. So I give it a 5.4
