I know, I know. Long time, no type. Well here I am, writing yet another blog entry promoting another A+ movie of the year. For those of you who know me personally, my obsession with the Avengers movies is obvious. I own all the movies from Iron Man to Captain America, quote the movies everyday with a big smile on my face, and countdown until the next episode in the series is released.
Well about two weeks ago, Iron Man 3 was released upon an eager and waiting fandom. I was able to work its viewing into my schedule like any and every loyal fan. It was AWE-wait for it...-SOME! Iron Man 3 took a new road, following a plot line focused on Tony Stark's human side rather than his indestructible superhero aspects. This element introduced a new character to the viewing public, but the Marvel production still contained the phenomenal special effects and witty humor that originally captivated audiences worldwide.
After The Avengers saved New York City, and took their deserved time off, Tony Stark was able to refocus his life on Pepper Potts. The love he realized he had for her altered his manner and way of thinking on a daily basis. For this reason, the plot of Iron Man 3 has a more dramatic side than before. Thankfully, the movie does not become too cheesy or predictable. The eccentric and unexpected nature of Tony Stark keeps the audience guessing throughout the movie. Enemies are also lie just around the corner, no matter what. That means the need for Iron Man doesn't lessen, even if Loki is locked up in Asgard.
Due to Tony Stark's sudden "free time" and the fact that he is a super genius, new developments on the Iron Man suit are to be expected. This is where the talented special effects team comes into play. Thanks to their jaw dropping talent, new Iron Man suits are featured throughout Iron Man 3. These suits are product of the latest technology. There are suits that can simply be stepped out of, suits that can be parked at the local bar while Tony goes in for a drink, and suits that Tony can actually call to his aid from miles away. Audiences will be amazed and entertained as they see what Iron Man has become in the past year.
Credit, in the end however, must still be given to the acting talent of Robert Downey Jr. His witty comebacks and banter with other characters during the movie is hard to compete with. It reminds me of Hugh Laurie's performance as Dr. Gregory House. Because of the character's unique and untouchable persona, the audience is never bored or indifferent. The character and acting ability are what make this movie and movie series so popular in the end. You can have all of the special effects, music, and costumes in the world, but without acting talent to fill the roles of a script, there is nothing. For this reason, I give two big thumbs up to Robert Downey Jr. as Iron Man.
So if you are looking for a way to spend a couple hours of free time, go watch Iron Man 3. You will not be disappointed. There will be laughs and gasps and maybe even a few tears. One more piece of advice I have for all you readers before you go see Iron Man 3 is WAIT UNTIL THE END OF THE MOVIE. When the credits are over in every Marvel movie, there is always an extra little tidbit that should not go unseen. So wait until the credits scroll by. You won't be disappointed.
