• Iron Man III (Spoilers, you’ve been warned)

  No if you didn’t get it in the title, there WILL BE SPOILERS!!!!

  So, unless you’re a comic book nerd and want no part of this blog: LEAVE NOW…

  Oh, if there is a comic book store nearby: This Saturday is Free Comic Book Day. It’s the industry trying to get you to buy and read comic books.

  Any hoo back to the review…

  The movie starts with a bit of a back story with Tony pre-Iron Man and two scientists, one being female are trying to get Tony to check out what they’re trying to do. You can guess which person Tony ended up with. Both are trying to enhance the Human Potential.

  Tony, in the present, is having issues with what happened in The Avengers and is even more of a hot mess. The male scientists whom Tony totally dissed asks Pepper Potts, who runs the company now and is with Tony, denies funding for his research Extremis which rewires the brain and heals the body. Happy Hogan, who’s in charge of security follows Alldrich Killian and his body guard and a bombing happens but the guy who supposedly dies heals up and Happy is in a coma because of this.

  A terrorist called The Mandarin is killing people and has threatened The USA that the attacks will continue. Tony thinks that The Mandarin is responsible. He starts to invistigate and then Maya Hansen drops by needing his help. Out of no where, helicopters start shooting at Tonys house and after seeing that Pepper and Maya are safe, Tony almost succeeds at blowing up the bad guys. He blacks out and wakes up in Kentucky and his armor is plenty banged up. He meets up with a young boiy named Harley who helps Tony out.

  Once Tony finds out where The Mandarin is located, he heads there. Sans armor. A low tech style Home Depot weapons. And then it’s gets interesting.

  Pepper gets injected with The Extremis drug and Killian and Maya try and get Tony to help finish the formula that Tony wrote on a name tag that will make Extremis workable. Because the formula turns people into super humans but they also become human time bombs. Tony gets his armor and tries to stop Alldrich. A huge fight erupts and a whole lot armors try and take out the Extremis soldiers while Tony and Killian duke it out. Tony and Pepper take out Killian and.,.

  What, I just told you the basic plot. What, do you want me to tell you how it ends???

  I liked it for a number of reasons. 1. Whoever wrote the script has did their homework and read some the best story lines of Iron Man comic books for the past thirty odd years and cherry picked the best stuff. 2. The pacing was dead on. When it got too serious, the comic/funny element was there to break the tension. 3. The ending was great. 4. The Characters small and big had their parts to play and if they were removed, it would have been a not so good movie. 5.The plot twists. I went into this with some preconceived ideas and was glad when they were not there. And 6. Between the special effects and great story… These were the reasons I liked this move. I liked this better than Iron Man II.

  I give it two thumbs up and see it during matinee. I was really lucky to see it at 9pm. But paying $11.00 was a bit of a shock. Which explains how often I go to the movies.

  Before heading to the shower and some sleep time, a small bit of news of the Robins Nest. As I backed the car in I awoke the Robin and it flew off the nest. Serves it right for the lost sleep I was getting when it was banging into my window. I’ll post more pictures when I can.

  CIAO!!!
