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?

Quotes

[first lines]
Tony Stark: [Narrates] A famous man once said, 'We create our own demons.' Who said that? What does that even mean? Doesn't matter. I said it 'cause he said it. So now, he was famous and that basically getting said by two well-known guys. I don't, uh... I'm gonna start again.
[pause]
Tony Stark: Let's track this from the beginning.

User Reviews

Nice!

It was a strong potent to be a 4 (out of 5)... but the bummers in the tail dropped that for my favorite hero's latest installment. The humor was awesome as usual (when u get RD Jr as the lead role, u can easily expect that) and the techs were spectacular too. And I can happily report that the Star Cineplex Hall No. 4 3D facility is just getting better and better (I guess they are bringing better tapes these days), speecially the sound effects from the ground demands a happy hi5. Its yet to be parallel to Mumbai or Singapores, but its no much less :).....and before wrapping up, I must admit, Hulk is little more appealing these days on the silver screen, a little more than my fav Iron Man.
