SAMPLE: IRON MAN 3


I’m not a great fan of action films so I wasn’t expecting to enjoy Iron
Man 3. However, I was pleasantly surprised by this action-packed
follow-up to the first two Iron Man films.

The plot isn’t particularly sophisticated. It revolves around an attempt


by the shadowy villain Mandarin (Ben Kingsley) to launch terror attacks
on the United States, and Iron Man (Robert Downey Junior)superhuman
efforts to foil his plans.The acting is first-rate, as you would expect from
stars like DowneyJr, Kingsley and Gynewth Paltrow, and they are well
supported by the rest of the cast. The script is witty and clever, with lots
of snappy dialogue and many amusing moments. Visually the film is
superb, with spectacular special effects that are a hallmark of the Iron
Man movies.

Overall, Iron Man 3 is highly entertaining. It isn’t a deep or complex film,


but as a two-hour action movie, I can’t fault it. I can wholeheartedly
recommend it to almost anybody.
