Genius and billionaire Tony Stark – aka Iron man- (Robert Downey, Jr) has his world turned upside down when arch enemy the Mandarin (looks like Osama you-know-who) blows his house up and he vows revenge.

Apparently, candles don't work. I asked in Iron Man 2 review that we light a candle to insure there would be no Iron Man 3. And, here we are. Pity.

I have concluded that the only reason to watch any Iron Man movie is to see the CGIs and they are spectacular. No doubt about it. The story? Forgetaboutit. Really sad.

Where to begin, where to begin? Hmmm.. Again, a lot of the dialogues appear to be dubbed in and you can tell that right off. The music is lame for such a big-time action movie. Tony Stark is out of the suit most of the movie trying to be a human action hero. Hey, we go to the Iron Man movie to see Iron Man and that involves him in the suit fighting injustice. We see his Iron Man suits (yes, suits plural) break into a million pieces like cheap china. We see Tony Stark having panic attacks. Say what ? The bad guy, Killian (Guy Pierce), gives Tony's girlfriend, Pepper (Gweneth Paltrow), super powers for a short time while Tony Stark watches in amazement. Say what? Tony Stark befriends a 12-year old boy and these scenes didn't make any sense. Attempts at humor fall flat.

To be fair Guy Pierce as Killian and Ben Kingsley as Trevor did good. Downey also does good but then there's everything else within the movie that doesn't work. We watch a real mess.

Again, go to the Iron Man movies only to see the CGIs. They are truly exceptional. Want to buy some candles? (4/10)
