In the film industry we critics go off of a number of basic guidelines but its usually a universal opinion that sequels and threequels in this day and age tend to ruin the series.
Well in the case of Iron Man 3 its not ruined but it's also not exactly a high point either. the film is very much the low point of the series. Its certainly a great movie but the story is very much lacking from what we've seen in the previous two films. Its not even a bad story. Its just not what i was hoping for from something like this. Don't get me wrong its a great film its just the story is lacking. The visual effects are amazing, the animation is outstanding, and the characters have their usual funny remarks in fact it seems like they upped the humor substantially this time around. So honestly this movie is really worth checking out. It's a fun movie and it has a lot going for it. The story is just lacking and for that i have to give it an 8/10. But still i did actually like it.
