We won't be getting a full round of reviews for Iron Man 3 for a while, but if you are just looking for one person's opinion on what to expect in terms of overall quality, read on. A JoBlo reader shared his take on the movie after seeing it at a trade screening and seems very impressed indeed, comparing the movie to The Avengers and calling it the "funniest Marvel movie to date"
Here's the transcription from the JoBlo podcast in full.
"It blows the second movie out of the water, It has some amazing action sequences that are on par with The Avengers. Robert Downey Jr. brings so much to this role that he is completely irreplaceable. Shane Black was a good choice for this one, as he injected his buddy-cop movie style towards the end, and was able to balance great action scenes with a ton of comedy. I heard a lot of early trepidation about this one going for the bleak, Dark Knight style that seems to be so popular with Superhero movies these days, but that is not the case. This is by far the funniest Marvel movie to date, and handled with the same light touch as the previous films. This is a great addition to the MCU and makes me excited to go along for the ride for Phase 2."
Like I said, obviously this is just one guy's take but it's nice to know that he at least was happy with the final product. Let's hope the positive reactions continue when the first wave of full reviews hit.
