Robert Downey Jnr's acting in this movie summarizes the whole movie very well: half hearted, bored and tired, can't wait to get it over with. That's how he portrayed the character, I am sure that is what he was thinking for real, and that is exactly how I felt watching this.

Plenty of ridiculous CGI effects, that all look the same as every other movie with CGI effects these days, to the point that they are getting tiresome now. And the story.... well, what was this movie about again? Having just watched it, I can't tell you what the story was about. Did they hire some deluded psychoanalyst to write the script? It was a bad. What was the point? Except for the special effects, everything else was lame, forced, and none of the actors had their hearts in it. It was almost as if they, the actors, realized once they started filming this, that this was going to be a PAINFUL EXPERIENCE and this comes through in all their acting. With every word coming out of Iron Man's mouth I could imagine Robert Downey Jnr thinking "how much more of this do I have to put up with?"

Iron Man 1 and 2 were good. There was a story to be told. Iron Man 3 is just a mess of over the top, unbelievable special effects with no purpose. A colossal waste of time, believe me!
