Iron Man is my favorite superhero because his superpower is that he’s smart. That’s it. He’s really really smart. I saw this movie in 3D and it was great. I think they could have done more with the 3D stuff like maybe more POV camera angles when he’s flying.
I haven’t read the comics and I don’t really care how the movies stack up against them. The Iron Man movies are internally consistent with the rules the studio has established, with one exception. In the first movie, Tony Stark invents a power source that powers his suit. In the third movie, he keeps having to charge his suit like it’s a smart phone that he keeps draining by playing Angry Birds. This doesn’t make sense to me. Did I miss something?
I laughed out loud several times during this movie. Very light-hearted and fun. I liked it a lot.
*edit*
Trent Sellers also wrote up a short thing about this movie:
I went into this movie expecting to only mildly enjoy it and I left this movie feeling very sad. The reason: I don’t think I will watch another movie this year that I will enjoy this much. It’s going to take another viewing to be sure but I feel like I just watched a perfect movie.
