Ironman 3

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!
