Iron Man 3- The second best movie of the Summer 0f 2013

"Yo listen up here's a story
About a little guy that lives in a blue world
And all day and all night and everything he sees
Is just blue like him inside and outside"

   Well Iron Man 3 came out out on DVD and Blu-Ray last week, or the week before. Whatever, I lost my concept of time once school started up. I re watched this beautiful, super funtastic movie, so here's a blog about it.

Yeah, this scene never happens.

   I have the poster about positioned right above my bed, so Tony Stark can protect me in my sleep. That should give you some vague idea of how much I love this movie. I'm sure everyone has some decent idea about who or what Iron Man is (not the Black Sabbath song), but the three of you read on. Iron Man is a suit created by Billionaire genius Tony Stark  to initially escape from terrorists
( Vietnam, Gulf War, Iraq War, pick your time period.) who held him captive, and during the kidnapping he gets shrapnel stuck in his chest that will someday kill him. Using a powerful magnet in his chest to keep it at bay, he finds it can also power a suit of armor!Now once free he builds a bunch of other suits, because each one could be more awesome than the last. Got it ? Good!
    

The ultimate man cave.

   The movie begins at New Years eve party in 1999, where Tony Stark( RDJ!) blows off Aldrich Killian (Guy Pearce) to band a mildly attractive chick, who happens to be a botanist. The Botanist, Maya Hansen created Extremis, which regenerates lost limbs, but also can give you fire based powers, and can make you explode! Awesome! After doing the deed, Tony sneaks out, leaving only a formula written on the back of a name take, as proof he was there. Yep, enough plot set up. Time for fun!
    Now in 2013, we see Tony implanting tiny machines into his arm, to call and control his latest armor, the sexy Mark 42

Dat pose

  After the scene above, the suit is hit in the ass, and the entire thing burst apart. Oh and it's almost Christmas, as Shane Black loves his Christmas movies. Whatever, everyone loves Christmas! Tony then turns on the T.V., and we are introduced to our sort of villain.

   Oh wait that's not til later! We see some sort of terrorist on the television called the Mandarin, claiming terrorist activities as his own.

You'll never see me coming! Or I won't see you, I wear my sunglasses at night!

  To combat the threat in typical U.S. fashion, they repainted the War Machine Armor in American Colors, renaming him Iron Patriot!

  For you non comic fans, Iron Patriot was originally Norman Osborn, aka the Green Goblin. He stole some outdated tech, and created a suit that screamed American. He created H.A.M.M.E.R., to replace shield, and tried to hunt down Tony Stark. Yeah it was a weird arc.

It just needs a bald eagle, shedding a single tear!

    Back to the movie, Aldrich Killiane enters Stark Enterprises, and begins giving a demonstration of Extremis, and his brain to Pepper Potts( Gwenyth Paltrow), while Happy Hogan looks on, and warns Tony of this, but in typically Tony fashion he blows him off. Happy sense something from Killian's driver, and follows him. In what appears to be China Town, Happy catches the driver giving a junkie some sort of drug, which of course is Extremis! The junkie explodes, injuring Happy, and killing others nearby. The Mandarin claims he was behind the attack, so Tony gives goes on air, and gives the Mandarin his adress, and to come and get him.

   Back at the Hall of Armors, aka Tony's house, It's time for detective work! Yeah better than Batman did in all the Nolan trilogy. He recreates the scene of the explosion, and finds dog tags from the junkie, who is apparently a veteran. All thanks to Happy's line of sight! After running a temperate scan for the same heat fluctuation that appeared in Chinatown, Tony realizes it's time to head to Tennessee for more detective work!

     Tony's old Botanist pal shows up at his door, and reveals she has something to say to him. In private of course. Pepper comes downstairs, and tells him they're leaving, when helicopters suddenly appear outside the mansion.  Tony quickly shoots the Mark 42 armor onto Pepper, and tells her to escape with the botanist. After she's clear, he recalls the armor.
     Unfortantely, the Mark 42 is a prototype, and full of issues. If it wasn't, this movie wouldn't be quite so fun! So he has to improvise a bit:

YOU CAN TUNE A PIANO, BUT YOU CAN'T TUNE A FISH!!

   Yep, he shoots a piano at the helicopter. Awesome. The second helicopter is taken down by throwing a missile, and shooting his repulsor ray at it when it comes close to the target. The final one does, the job destroying the house, and trapping Tony underneath. He passes out shortly after Jarvis frees him. Onto Tennessee! Jarvis created a flight plan!
    Tony wakes up when the power is about to go out on his suit, and crash lands in Tennessee, but he just rolls with it.

   After calling Pepper to say he's okay, he decides to break into some kids shed. Yeah, whatever.

The kid shows up, an adorable mop top of course.

   After bribing the kid with a flare, Tony gets what he needs from the kid, and they head into town, the scene of an earlier explosion.

Limited Edition

After a freakout about What happened in New York, it's time to hit the bar to ask the mother of the man who exploded nearby what was up with her son. She has a folder meant for someone else, full of important things! Since he haven't had much action lately, it's fight scene time! Oh this lady has Extremis too ? What a twist!

I've date hotter chicks than you.

   Using a microwave and some dog tagsto finally toast this hottie, Killian's driver grabs the mop top, and the kid escapes using a flare. Tony blows him away using a hidden repulsor, and steals the guys car. Before leaving, he tells the kid to keep charging the armor, and stay by the phone. After driving down the road, he notices that MIA is AIM backwards! The company that Aldrich Killian heads, and did the Iron Patriot rebrand! Time to get online and find outwhat's up.

Hispanic Scott Baio

   Tony breaks into a news van, and with the help of an overzealous fan ( his tattoo is pictured above) he manages to access AIM videos of the Extremis testing. Jarvis ( Tony's computer system) this point has located that the Mandarin's base of operation is in Miami. Time to break and enter! Iron Man Style! No armor ? Well it's time to improvise. Tony buys some gear from the local hardware store, and takes out everyone in his path. Until . . .

  Yup, that's the Mandrin, it was all a ploy! Killian is the big bad, and the Madarin is an actor. Tony is captured, and taken to the basement. Will Tony escape ? Can everything turn out okay ? You'll have to see the film for yourself to find out! Here's a bunch of screenshots that will totally entice you to watch this film:

Bom chick a wow wow

That's not Rhoddy!

House Party! Staring Kid n Play.

Whatever

The Dragon Tattoos are a reference to Fing Fang Foom.

I did nothing in armor, better keep that up. Bye Tony!

The best end sequence ever. Fuck yes.

   Seriously though, I love this movie. It's my favorite superhero film, and the most fun.I saw it four times during the first month it was out. The comedy strike a perfect balance with action, and Robert Downey Jr. is once again perfectly cast as Tony Stark. I read all the comics from 2006 to present for Iron Man, and this is much more entertaining to me. The comics go to some weird places, especially these days. I really do hope we gets a fourth film, once again staring RDJ. I especially enjoyed the idea of more real villains, and dealing with the aftermath of the Avengers. This movie was like a thriller at times, with Tony playing a secret agent, and trying to figure everything out. Iron Man 3- 9/10.
