One
of the most anticipated movies of the year has arrived, that too one week ahead
of it’s US release just like “The Avengers”. Because of the amazing response
from India “The Avengers” had had a super huge opening in the US and it is
going to be no different in the case of Iron Man 3!
Tony
Stark is more of a responsible person, the reckless womanising character has
faded away. He is now in a committed relationship with Pepper. Come Mandarin along
with Aldrian Killich and Tony Stark’s world as he knew it changes.
Into
middle age, all that generally comes to people in that phase(or may be more)
happens with Tony as well; he is anxious, less of a risk taker, fearful of the
safety of his family and super anxious to the point of having anxious attacks
very often. You can get to see more of the emotional side of the Iron Man here.
After
a watered down start (which is intentional) the action starts, once Tony
declares an open challenge to The Mandarin, with a super spectacular sequence(action
wise, cinematography wise and effects wise), in which Tony loses his house. And
after that it’s heavy bombardment time!!!
The
plot is an average one but the screenplay infused with a lot of action
sequences and humor keeps you engaged even if you are not an Iron Man fan,
barring a few scenes. Tony Stark’s equation with the kid in Tennessee will be
loved by the younger audience. With Robert Downey Jr as the arrogant, witty,
mocking Tony Stark, Gwyneth Paltrow as the ever dependable Pepper, Guy Pearce
as the intriguing Aldrian Killich and Sir Ben Kingsley as the interesting
Mandarin the performances are nothing short of first class.
What
is most amazing about the film is the unbelievable grip and control that Shane
Black has over the action sequences and the effects. His coordination with the
technical crew especially the action choreographers, visual effect team and the
cinematographer is well evident in the final product on screen.
With
a number of over the top action set-pieces it’s carnival time for the Iron Man
fans and others alike.
Iam giving a 3.5/5 for Iron Man 3. Gorge
on. This is the Iron Man doing what he does best!
