Iron Man 3 Reviewed

New York City is still rebuilding after an attack from Loki and Alien forces, and the world at large is reeling from the knowledge that there are super powered beings among us. One of those heroes of New York is merely a man in a high tech suit, haunted by the enormity of those events and his place in it. As Tony Stark contemplates his frailty in the scheme of things, he compensates by creating a suit of armor for every conceivable threat or emergency, which leaves little time for sleep and healthy relationships.

Iron Man 3 opens on a haggard Tony Stark perfecting his 42nd suit of armor..one which will literally jump to his aid at his merest thought..which should tell you something about his mental state. The world has become a very dangerous place with The Mandarin threatening terrorist actions and our government getting nowhere with tracking him down or even plotting his next move. Luckily, we have War Machine, now repainted and renamed Iron Patriot, to defend us. Thrown into the mix is Aldrich Killian, a ghost from Tony's past who has remade himself into a slick rival and returned with a new technology that boasts the ability to upgrade our human abilities. Now the film evolves into a veritable game of chess. Tony becomes entangled in The Mandarin's plots and is also in the sights of Killian. Killian would add his genius to the scientific co-op dubbed A.I.M. (advanced idea mechanics), but if Tony were to refuse, The Mandarin might take him off the board completely, so it's a win win! The plot whizzes along with Tony struggling with his own personal eternal question;  "Is it the suit that makes the man..or the man that makes the suit", while his whole world explodes around him, leaving him more vulnerable than he has ever been. Iron Man and Iron Patriot must stop the Mandarin and reveal Killian's role in all this chaos before more innocents get caught in the crossfire.

Iron Man 3 Clip "Since New York"

You're a rich man with a genius intellect that decided your life's calling is helping mankind. Soon after, it seems you aren't the only being on planet Earth capable of super human feats...and that's OK because the world can use all the help it can get. ...But with the heroes come villains and super science run amok and aliens threatening world domination and fiends sneering at your world through holes in your dimension. It's all a bit much to handle...so you lose yourself in the work. A maniac appears with flamethrower hands...you build a fire suit and extinguish him. A gang of thieves figure out how to walk through walls...you build a stealth suit and hover over the city, waiting for their next move. There will never be a shortage of men and women lining up to take what they think is theirs, and so you must be ready to stop them..but where does it end? It's a big question...and one that keeps Tony Stark up at night.

Iron Man 2 Clipapalooza

While I'm 4 square against the over abundance of spoilerific clips which rain down on us prior to a film's release, for the sake of those who DO like their geeky world rocked, I'll dish out the 4 new clips Paramount sent over for Iron Man 2! 2 WEEKS!!!

New Iron Man 2 Eye Candy

2 WEEKS!!! The privileged on the west coast have already been pumped full of armored ecstasy, but for us normal folks, its just another 2 weeks til we dive back into the Marvel Movie Universe. Paramount dishes out new clips (which I'm not posting because I WANT TO BE SURPRISED BY SOME OF THIS FREAKING MOVIE) and new images I will actually post..for you...out of love. I even did a clean up on the Black Widow/Tony Stark pic as it was grainy and she looked like she had a 5 o'clock shadow and armpit stubbles.


Paramount Pictures and Marvel Entertainment present the highly anticipated sequel to the blockbuster film based on the legendary Marvel Super Hero “Iron Man,” reuniting director Jon Favreau and Oscar® nominee Robert Downey Jr. In “Iron Man 2,” the world is aware that billionaire inventor Tony Stark (Robert Downey Jr.) is the armored Super Hero Iron Man. Under pressure from the government, the press and the public to share his technology with the military, Tony is unwilling to divulge the secrets behind the Iron Man armor because he fears the information will slip into the wrong hands. With Pepper Potts (Gwyneth Paltrow), and James “Rhodey” Rhodes (Don Cheadle) at his side, Tony forges new alliances and confronts powerful new forces.
