Iron Man 3 is yet to hit American cinemas, but a couple of huge newspapers have posted their reviews of the new Marvel blockbuster, Iron Man 3. These reviews are spoiler free, so be sure to read them.

The Telegraph has given the movie a fantastic review giving it 4 stars out of 5, the critic called Robbie Collin also had huge praise for Ben Kinglsey's Mandarin, saying that "Kingsley’s Mandarin might be the smartest screen interpretation of a villain since Heath Ledger’s Joker in The Dark Knight.” Robbie also added “You have to admire Disney and Marvel Studios’ gumption: with the Avengers franchise, of which this film is the seventh installment, they have effectively brought back the matinee serial, and have found an enormous and appreciative audience for it.”



While on the other side of the cliff we have a newspaper called Time Out London, saying that the film was a disappointment, reviewer Tom Huddleston gave the film 3 stars out of 5 and said "It’s undeniably entertaining – and worth seeing for Kingsley alone – with the misfires never fully overshadowing the moments of glory. But in the wake of the triumph of The Avengers, Iron Man 3 still feels like something of a disappointment.”



Iron Man 3 is Currantly sitting on a 8.7 rating on IMDB after 2900 votes.




Set after the events that occurred in The Avengers, Tony Stark faces a powerful enemy, the Mandarin. Left only to rely on his instincts, he must embark on a harrowing quest to find those responsible for destroying his personal life. At the beginning of the movie, he launches an attack at the Stark Expo where Happy Hogan, Tony Stark's bodyguard, is injured. Meanwhile, the US Government is receiving evidence of people disappearing. Using his computer tracking equipment, Stark realizes that the Mandarin has been kidnapping citizens of the US and turning them into super soldiers with the new Extremis. Tony's adventure will, at every turn test his mettle and instincts, where his fight to protect those close to him culminates in a climatic showdown where Stark will ultimately learn the answer to the question that has secretly haunted him: 'Does the man make the suit or does the suit make the man?'.

Yeah, after reading about the twist, it kind of dulled down the bad ass-ness i was really rooting for with the character, just hope it doesnt look to bad on the screen and ruins it more.

@ marvel72

This happen when you hired a wrong director with wrong ideas,and this happen when you lick the ass of the chinese,after the news of the co-producing with the china government many people especially occidentals and Japanese are very disappointed yet before the movie come out.

I really can't imagine what this "twist" is to cause so much displeasure.
Guess I'll find out in a couple days.

Absolutely. Going through all the trouble of copying and pasting negative reviews. To me that sounds like someone is butthurt

I think the people who criticised Nolan's Bane should then normally be outraged by this twist here or else they're just biased hypicrites.

@MrYurMomm - Cartoony looking action? The action in the trailer looked no more "cartoony" as something like The Avengers, in fact, it looks less cartoony (both from a visual standpoint and from the level of danger and intensity displayed) so I sure hope that these same people also complained about that otherwise they are either Marvel loving/DC hating hypocrites or simply don't like CBM's as a whole.

As for these reviews, I loved IM 1 and I loved Shane Blacks last film (also with RDJ) but it's getting obvious from some of the reviews I've read so far (and from the idiotic plot twists) that this won't be the second coming of CBM's as some people here think and in fact won't even be as good as IM and The Avengers. Now my Marvel hopes rest on Thor.
