Storyline

Marvel's "Iron Man 3" pits brash-but-brilliant industrialist Tony Stark/Iron Man against an enemy whose reach knows no bounds. When Stark finds his personal world destroyed at his enemy's hands, he embarks on a harrowing quest to find those responsible. This journey, at every turn, will test his mettle. With his back against the wall, Stark is left to survive by his own devices, relying on his ingenuity and instincts to protect those closest to him. As he fights his way back, Stark discovers the answer to the question that has secretly haunted him: does the man make the suit or does the suit make the man?

Trivia

The Mandarin/Trevor Slattery is shown to be watching Liverpool playing Chelsea in a game of football on television. The goal was scored by Daniel Agger, making the scoreline 3-0. It is suggested that the character is a Liverpool fan as he cheers the goal. The game took place in real-life on 8th May 2012, which may suggest the events of the film took place on that date too.

User Reviews

The Mandarin was right...i never saw it coming

Iron Man 3, first of all, like all the people who didn't like this movie, I was pretty excited about this one, because we were promised an interesting plot, good action sequences, good villains, good movie for God sake. The thing we got was a totally irrelevant movie, and i mean irrelevant to the new Marvel universe, it has no consistency, it doesn't have even "a story", OK go see it and then think of the story, think of the villains motivations, what you will find is simply a pointless plot in a pointless movie, it feels like a parody of Iron Man that the writers took because they didn't think of something better. Now the actual movie: it has a relatively good character introduction the bad thing about it is that it takes the characters two hours of the movie to actually do something relevant, for the exception of the Mandarin, i felt that the story was about to get going but it never did, then it did it so quickly you never knew when it came. Now there is a moment in the movie, take it like this a really bad movie gas going and going and then comes this particular moment that destroyed it completely, this moment that made people leave the theater, if you saw the movie you know what i mean, i was gonna be one of 'em but i stayed, the rest of the movie was just plain stupid filled with paper made armors, horrible plot twists and a terrible after credits scene, like i said it has no relevance and no reason to exist. the worst part is: you will expect something good out of it, maybe you'll get it, i didn't like many people. oh and to finish this i have to tell you: don't believe the movie they promise to deliver on the trailer it's f**king bull**it. the trailer it¡s way better than the movie itself. Maybe later i make a review explaining my point with actual facts from the movie but for now, it's all i gotta say. 3 out of 10
