Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThis is the first movie in the Iron Man franchise not to be directed by Jon Favreau, possibly over creative differences with Marvel or because of his salary demands. He later said that not directing allowed him to have more fun with his character "Happy" Hogan, saying that he was like "a proud grandfather, who doesn't have to change the nappies, but gets to play with the baby."
- Goofs(at around 1h 22 mins) When Maya Hansen is threatening to inject herself with Extremis, she says the dosage is 1200cc. That is equal to 1.2 liters, a volume impossible to hold in one syringe.
- Quotes
[Tony sets a fire in the diner's kitchen to keep out Brandt, she just walks right through it]
Tony Stark: You walked right into this one: I've dated hotter chicks than you.
Brandt: [scoffs] Is that all you've got? A cheap trick and a cheesy one-liner?
Tony Stark: Sweetheart, that could be the name of my autobiography.
[Tony ducks out the back as his hidden booby-trap blows up the kitchen, killing Brandt]

Showing from my score I loved it, it takes more of a different turn than the first two with the story which is about Tony and developing him as a character.
First of all, the writing great (what do expect from Shane Black). The witty dialogue and one liners had me gut busting with laughter. Even the twist that I'd hate to spoil is pretty funny to even be considered a comedy. Most of this is due to Robert Downey Jr. turning in another performance as Tony Stark, the likable a**hole. The supporting cast of Gwyneth Paltrow, Don Cheadle, Guy Pearce, Ben Kingsley as the Mandarin, who is a good villain but just no Loki or Joker level.
The action is well directed too, showing Tony can kick a** with or without a suit. There small shootouts and fistfights along with your big budget stuff you expect from Marvel include a very tense attack on Air Force One. The CGI is great too.
People have been constantly been nitpicking at this movie, relax, it's not every movie where it is required to analyze every part of the plot and story. It's just a bit popcorn munching, summer blockbuster fun. Not f****ing Citizen Kane.
