The trouble is that, as the plot quickens, any cleverness withdraws, to make way for the firecrackers of the climax. That is not Black's forte, and his movie duly slumps into a mess.
Top CriticShane Black excels at writing witty, self-referential, pop-infused banter, and there is no actor working today who is better suited to delivering it than Robert Downey Jr.
Iron Man 3 feels like an exploitative mulching of present-day anxieties. The script is ambitious but not wise enough to be rightfully cathartic. It's more Cuisinart than art.
The action, directed by Shane Black, ranges from passable to interminable.
Black is good at giving his heroes a morbid, self-hating edge and even better at coming up with hateable villains.
After a while, the steady diet of tongue-in-cheek starts to taste monotonous as day-old gum.
The film's true strength is a snappy, whip-smart wit
Robert Downey, Jr. makes Iron Man one of the most entertaining superheroes in the Marvel movie universe.
The most mature of the "Iron Man" films by far.
Marvel Studios lets director Black off the leash for this third installment, and while the result is edgier, sexier, and more dangerous than what has come before, you may not recognize Tony Stark as the man from the long-running comic.
Funnier and smoother, more surprising, defter at being creative while still working within the confines of the superhero formula.
It's Iron Man 3's sneaky exposé of superhero cool--on the outside, a wisecracking warrior; on the inside, an anxiety-attacked guy who tries to insulate himself with arrogance--that brings this blockbuster down to sympathetic size.
There's little doubt that Iron Man Three, in its early stages, fares a whole lot better than one might've anticipated...
A generous step up from its predecessor, the various twists aren't exactly as expected, but you'll still have fun getting there.
Packed with virtually non-stop action from start to finish, "Iron Man 3" is the best film in the "Iron Man" series and among the best Marvel-inspired films ever
Features an interesting, angst-ridden psychological sub-text rarely found in blockbuster films.
This may be the lightest, most entertaining cinematic exploration of post-traumatic stress disorder yet.
The finale is explosive, but Iron Man has some rusty patches too
The way Black surrenders the movie's edginess to the generic onslaught of flashy visuals is a mild disappointment.
A regression in the usual strong work from Marvel Studios, Iron Man 3 suffers from director Shane Black's mishandling of this popular superhero character.
The elements that were once daring are starting to feel statistically approved - and tired.
Terrorist and anxiety attacks prove equally dismaying to Marvel's 'man in a can' in this witty, satisfying sequel.
Iron Hot with action
... best Iron Man yet thanks to Shane Black, who pushes characterization, clever plot twists, not computer effects ... Downey, for a change, drops his guard, shows the heart beneath the armor
It's the funniest superhero film, and it doesn't feel like it's pandering. That's the power of Downey, Jr. and now Shane Black.
A palatable entertainment... rests on the strength of the principals
