I was never an Iron Man fan growing up. I would get into certain comics, but that phase in my childhood passed rather quickly. Then a few years ago the first Iron Man movie came out and I was hooked. Jon Favreau did a great job with the first two movies and made me care about a superhero I pretty much knew nothing about. Robert Downey Jr. is talented and did a good job with the character, but the world built around him had to work for the movie to work. It more than worked. The first Iron Man movie is one of the best superhero movies from the past ten years which says a lot considered 5 out of 3 new movies released are superhero movies. In the third movie Shane Black is taking the helm of director and writer and the cast sees the awesome Guy Pearce and Ben Kingsley added. The trailer looks awesome. Tony Stark sees all of his toys and riches destroyed and is forced to start from scratch and fight on his own. The whole battle of “does the suit make the man or does the man make the suit” is interesting and should make for a solid third in this series.
RELEASE DATE - 5/3/13
