Iron Man 3 (2013)

This was a lot better then Iron Man 2. Iron Man 3 takes place around six months after the events of the original Avengers movie and deals with the aftermath of the alien attack on New York on the psyche of both Tony Stark in particular and the world in general. There is not a lot I can say about this film that would be spoiler free, though the movie is less memorable for its action set pieces then it is for its tone, which is both mildly irreverent and a tad reflective. At the very end of the film it makes a very pronounced point of ending this original 'Iron Man trilogy' by "resolving" major plot points, it does so in a bit of a rushed and convenient manner, and one that's downright repudiated by events in Avengers Age of Ultron. Still I liked this movie. ***
