I have to admit, that from the trailers I thought that Iron Man 3 looked really promising. Unfortunately, Marvel and Shane Black let us down.

The first Iron Man film rocked. The second one was disappointing, but it grew on me. The third does neither of these things. Some seriously poor story decisions left me shaking my head in disgust in the cinema. Too many non-jokes, not enough action and a serious step backwards as far a Marvel Studios is concerned. They compromised their coolest film franchise for cheap laughs. Leaves me worrying about the rest of Phase Two now.
