Iron Man 3

Unsurprisingly entertaining and fun, but the movie lacks some sort of punch that really takes it above and beyond. As an avid comic book fan, certain plot lines are certainly infuriating, but since the movie is in a different universe I guess it's forgivable to make certain adjustments, but the ending is simply hard to justify. Tony Stark is still one of the most entertaining character in the marvel movie universe with his timely satirical jokes. As always Iron Man has some great and memorable action sequences and Gwyneth Paltrow looks gorgeous, but the movie itself isn't one that will be remembered for a long time with a rather linear and unsurprising storyline.

Trevor Slattery: My name's Trevor. Trevor Slattery.
Tony Stark: What are you? You're a decoy, a double, right?
Trevor Slattery: What, you mean an understudy? No, certainly not!
[Tony raises his gun]
Trevor Slattery: Don't hurt the face, I'm an actor!
Tony Stark: You got a minute to live. Fill it with words.
Trevor Slattery: It's just a role. "The Mandarin." See, it's not real.

Aldrich Killian: But as I looked out over that city - nobody knew I was there, nobody could see me, no one was even looking - I had a thought that would guide me for years. Anonymity, Tony. Thanks to you, it's been my mantra ever since.
[glances at Maya]
Aldrich Killian: Right? You simply rule from behind the scenes. Because the second you give evil a face - a bin Laden, a Gaddafi, a Mandarin - you hand the people a target.
