Frat Boy At the Movies: Iron Man 3

Hey bros! It’s been a while, but I’m back with a new movie review. If you haven’t seen it yet, Iron Man 3 is awesome.
Now I’ll be the first to admit that I am totally biased for the director and co-screenwriter, Shane Black. Shane has written some of my favorite movies including Lethal Weapon, The Long Kiss Goodnight and the very underrated movies The Last Boy Scout and Kiss Kiss, Bang Bang. (The last one, starring Robert Downey Jr. before he made his comeback and Val Kilmer.) Anyhow, take my review for what it’s worth.
Iron Man 3 is very entertaining and Shane really knows how to write dialogue. I will say that the ultimate plan of the Mandarin, the bad guy for this movie, is a bit hard to figure out, but the set is pretty awesome. It starts in 1999, with a pre-Iron Man Tony Stark. Tony’s arrogance in the past sets the events in motion that cause the present day troubles. Shane tears down Tony early on, so the odds are stacked against him.
War Machine continues to be a weird sort of sidekick that’s pretty pointless, but I did enjoy the many variations on the Iron Man suit. Pepper Pots also gets an awesome scene and whatever you do, don’t miss the after-the-credits moment. It really sort of makes the whole movie. At least it did for me.
I give Iron Man 3 nine out of ten keggers. Can’t wait for four.
