With
characters
culled
from
Marvel
Comics,
we
know
for
sure
that
Iron
Man
3
would
be
packed
with
spectacular
action
and
nice
razor
sharp,
witty
lines.
When,
the
film
begins
with
a
voice-over
which
states
-
"A
famous
man
once
said,
we
create
our
own
demons.
Never
mind
who
the
famous
man
is." We
are
all
the
more
confident
about
the
same.
The
voice-over
at
the
very
onset
sets
the
tenor
of
the
film.
The
first
scene
ushers
in
a
New
Year's
party
in
Bern,
Switzerland,
heralding
the
new
millennium
where
a
businessman-cum-genius
inventor-cum
mechanic
Tony
Stark
(Robert
Downey
Jr)
is
partying
hard.
The
audience
waits
with
baited
breath
to
understand
how
he
creates
his
own
demons.
Iron
Man
3
is
the
Superhero's
journey
of
finding
the
demons
he
created
and
destroying
them.
Flash
forward
to
the
present
day,
following
the
attacks
on
New
York
where
a
new
terrorist,
Mandarin
(Ben
Kingsley),
is
threatening
to
bring
down
the
US
government.
Tony
is
mentally
fatigued.
He
is
worn
out
with
confidence
and
anxiety
issues.
This
causes
a
strain
on
his
relationship
with
Pepper
Potts
(Gwyneth
Paltrow).
He
is
unable
to
sleep
and
so
he
spends
all
his
time
developing
a
super
cloak
-
The
metallic
shield
that
can
protect
him.
Created
through
advance
mechanics,
it
assembles
itself
around
him
and
works
on
mental
remote.
Thus
making
him
the
formidable
-
Iron
Man.
Meanwhile,
a
good
looking
bio-tech
researcher
and
geneticist
Aldrich
Killian
(Guy
Pearce),
who
has
a
grouse
against
Tony,
teams
up
with
Mandarin.
So
it
is
super-villains
versus
Iron
Man.
With
his
back
against
the
wall,
Tony
has
to
survive
by
his
own
devices,
relying
on
his
creativity
and
instincts
to
protect
himself
and
those
close
to
him.
He
has
also
to
juggle
a
tense
relationship
with
his
old
buddy
James
Rhodes
(Don
Cheadle)
and
beautiful
ex-girlfriend
Maya
(Rebecca
Hall).
Along
the
way,
Stark
discovers
the
answer
to
the
question
that
has
secretly
haunted
him
-
Does
the
man
make
the
suit
or
does
the
suit
make
the
man?

The
actions
set
along
with
the
stunts
are
breathtakingly
spectacular.
The
mid-air
rescue
operation
as
well
as
the
Iron
Man's
suits
either
flying
or
fighting
is
a
visual
treat.
The
cinematography
along
with
the
computer
generated
images
merge
seamlessly
into
frames
making
the
entire
watching
experience
amazing.
The
costumes
as
well
as
the
production
designs
are
visually
remarkable.

Jam-packed
with
humour
and
gags,
there
is
no
emotional
connect
with
the
characters.
During
the
course
of
the
narration,
director
Shane
Black
and
his
co-writer
Drew
Pearce
have
meandered
from
the
graphic
novel
into
subplots
merging
the
sensibilities
of
the
eighties
and
early
nineties,
thus
making
everything
odd
in
the
character's
history.

This
is
very
evident
in
the
scene
where
a
de-motivated
and
lonely
Tony
traces
The
Mandarin
to
a
small
town.
Here
he
is
aided
by
a
cute,
cocky
but
troubled
kid
called
Harley
(Ty
Simpkins),
who
misses
his
father.
This
relationship
throws
up
a
lot
of
witty
one-liners,
but
the
whole
subplot
seems
incongruous.

Another
subplot
is
that
of
Tony
and
his
colleague
James,
where
both
of
them
spend
time
buddy
cop
style!
Every
character
in
Iron
Man
3
is
important
and
the
actors
deliver
credible
performances.
Downey
uses
his
offbeat
persona
to
good
effect,
adding
blunt
honesty
to
Tony's
character
to
help
make
the
film
more
approachable.

Ben
adds
a
comic
dimension
to
this
Chinese
looking
Osama-bin-Laden-esque
villain.
While
Gwyneth
and
Rebecca
have
nothing
much
to
display,
Guy
nails
his
character
to
the
T.
But
it
is
Ty
Simpkins
as
Harley
the
smart
kid
who
surpasses
expectations
with
a
mature
performance
as
a
friend
and

to
Tony
and
lays
