Sometimes the third movie in a trilogy is not so great. This is not the case for Ironman 3. I have done a lot of falling asleep in movies lately because they just seem too long for this pregnant girl, but that was not the case with Ironman 3. I actually was alert the whole time and really into the movie. I also wondered where the time had gone once the credits hit the screen.
I love the Marvel movies. They are just action packed and all around fun. Ironman 3 stays true to this scenario. (And seriously, the whole Where in the World is Stan Lee? to be played during is just highly entertaining!)
I asked Reuben after watching how much he thought the special effects for the movie probably cost and he said: "lots." I do believe we have a winner. It would have cost a lot to have so many things blow up and have so many ironman suits fly through the air. (The list of people who worked on the computer animation bits was mega long in the credits.)
Ironman is struggling with being okay to save the world because of the post traumatic stress symptoms he is facing. It is fun to see somebody who is supposed to be so very strong, be vulnerable. He can't sleep at night so he tinkers. This causes him to be a little off and his relationships are a little off because of it as well.
The terrorist that is blowing up the place is the right kind of villain for somebody suffering from PTSD. And to see Ironman bounce back and kick butt is highly entertaining.
Oh and to see Gwyneth Paltrow become a strong fighting back type is just plain awesome.
You must get out and see the Superhero and his sidekicks at work. I give it 42 Ironman Suits!

42
Everyone that knows me, knows that I love baseball. Everybody who knows me well, knows I love the Dodgers! So, going into this movie about an amazing hero in Baseball who played for the Brooklyn Dodgers back in 1947, all of you should know that I would love this movie.
Baseball, like many sports, holds a lot of history and has the potential to teach us about life. The lessons we learn from sports aren't just based on a silly game, because sometimes sports are just a game, afterall. Sometimes we are able to learn how to treat one another and how we can be heroes and 42 teaches us that.
This movie was amazing. The lesson is huge and moving. Before Jackie Robinson joined the Dodgers, He played for the Monarchs, which was a team in the Negro League. Not only did we segregate peeople in bathrooms, schools and buses, but we also segregated on the playing field. There were no African Americans playing in major legue baseball before 1947 and before Jackie Robinson.
The bravery that was needed to step across that racial barrier and play for the Dodgers was huge and Jackie Robinson was very brave. The man who hired him and thought it was time to integrate baseball also was brave and a visonary. Thank heavens these men took that first step.
This movie is powerful and from what I read very accurate in historical detail, although some of it is a little exaggerated as ofen is the case in Hollywood.
This movie is definitely worth your money and time and who knows you might even have your heart lifted and touched.
