A perfect conclusion to the Anchor series for Marvel Comics
which has lead to everything from Avengers to its multiple storylines. From the
time Iron Man takes its first flight to the time when all the suits are
finished by JARVIS, has marked a journey of transformation of Tony from a
Merchant of Death to a Super-Hero. This movie belongs to Tony Stark and not
Iron Man.
Does the man make the suit??
OR
Does the suit make the man??
OR
Does the suit make the man??
This question had severely started haunting Tony Stark since
the New York incident of Avengers and all he can think of doing with this
severe tension of his is to TINKER, i.e. design more and more variants of his
suit with specific functionalities.
With all this going on America is struck by the terrorist
activities of a Super-Terrorist who calls himself as The Mandarin. His reach
knows no bounds and his threats are of serious concern as they were turning out
to be real. With a series of blasts in American establishments around the
globe, he ends up stirring a lot of attention. Even though, the Governments of
the whole worlds are busy preparing for another probable incident against
aliens, Iron Patriot is assigned the security of President of America against a
direct threat issued by Mandarin.
When one more blast which accidentally ends up severely
hurting Happy, Tony’s bodyguard and friend, Tony ends up taking it personally
and openly challenges Mandarin. Its then, his house is struck and all his lab
and suits end up getting blown up. With his back against the wall, Tony embarks
on a journey to discover the truth behind Mandarin.
The movie is very unique as its able to maintain the High Humor
quotient, whereas being classically Epic too where the decisions made by Tony
in the past make him regret his present situation. Not only the story is able
to encompass a lot of areas but its visual effects extravaganza is Awesomeness
Picturized, especially during the Air-Force One plane escape scene. All the Tony Stark
attitude has been played amazingly by Robert Downey Jr. (needless to say, he
carries the entire movie on his shoulders…) and all the actors have had their
parts cleared precisely too. Loved to see Dale's careless attitude as the first EXTREMIS experiment. Orchestral Music by Brian Tyler has a major role in increasing the overall adrenaline levels. Shane Black has proven his mettle as a very good
director as the story keeps one glued to the seat without exception.
There is just infinite things can say praising the movie,
so, I will just conclude it by sayin…
My rating:- 4.75/5, after watching the movie 5 times already, I still get a high when 35 Iron Man suits simultaneously say . “Yes Sir”… :D

It may be a bit darker and heavier than the past two, but at least it stays fun and exciting the whole time. Nice review Ankit.
