Overall, I thought that Iron Man 3 was a decent movie. However, there are some elements that I just cannot wrap my head around. I just don't know what the producers were thinking.1. The plot moves very slowly especially at the beginning. 20 minutes into the movie barely anything had happened.
2. People don't go see Iron Man to watch Tony Stark suffer from post traumatic stress disorder. Look, we know that the Avengers situation in New York with the aliens was tough on everyone - but I didn't notice Captain America going ptsd in Winter Soldier. And, in truth, if you compare Captain America 2 to the sequels for Iron Man there is just no comparison. Captain America dominates Iron Man - which is pretty surprising.
3. People don't go to Iron Man movies to watch Tony Stark fly around in and try to fix broken Iron Man suits. Especially, when there apparently were plenty of working suits in his basement all along. And then he goes and blows all of those up at the end for no reason... which leads me to my last point.
4. Tony Stark is the only superhero who seems to deliberately destroy all his weapons purposely on a regular basis. It is really not fun to watch this guy destroy all this great superhero stuff time and time again. He actually just comes off as a lunatic - which is not all that entertaining in a superhero film.
Oh yeah - and Marvel continues its tradition of never killing any good guys in its movies no matter what kind of terror befalls them.
