    Storyline

    Edit
    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? —Jawadjee

    Edit
    • Trivia
      This is the first movie in the Iron Man franchise not to be directed by Jon Favreau, who turned down the offer for this movie in order to direct Magic Kingdom. He later admitted 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]

    • Crazy credits
      Part of the closing credits are a Spider-Man 3 (2007)-esque montage of scenes from all the three films.

    love this movie highly recommend
    It's always hard to see a movie with Robert Downey, Jr. and not find his sarcasm and personality incredibly charming. He really shows why he is one of the best on-screen superheroes today by showing that he can have good chemistry with everyone ... even a young child. This is a huge step-up from "Iron Man 2," which failed in many different ways. It features a very promising villain that could also be the setup for future installments of - not only the "Iron Man" movies, but the entire Marvel Cinematic Universe.
