Movie Review "Iron Man 3"

This latest installment of the Iron Man series should be more appropriately entitled “Iron Man Suits.” Tony Stark has developed anxiety disorder after the last movie’s alien encounter. The latest villain is “Mandarin” (played by Ben Kingsley) is an international terrorist bent on the destruction of the US President and American power. In the midst of this crisis, Tony Stark meets up with a young boy from middle Tennessee who helps him regain his confidence. Some attempt is made at tying past episodes with the current crisis. The plot is not well developed, but does have some closure at the end. Ben Kingsley does a superb job portraying the apparent story villain. The best relational development of the story is between Stark and the young Tennessean boy, well portrayed by Ty Simpkins. As with the previous movies in this series, the special effects are top flight- despite not viewing it in 3D
