Example Of Essay On Iron Man 3

At the arrival of the first news about “Iron Man 3”, I think a lot of people were pretty skeptical about it. What I mean, is that it was right after the Avengers went to the big screens and it was going to be a 3rd part of an interesting and intriguing, but still, the same story. And, as most of movie fans, I know and am sure that in such a trilogy, the first part is usually the one to be the best out of the whole lineup. But, as there are always exceptions from the rules, and “Iron Man 3” is definitely one of them, still has a lot to show to the audience, even in its third version.
When talking about the whole franchise from the very beginning, I think back in 2008, it was really doubtful, that anyone would enjoy a superhero flick with a star, who was known mainly for manic, improv-fueled performances and drug-related problems. And it is on top of the fact, that the superhero in the movie himself is already an arrogant, alcoholic weapons tycoon, with an ego bigger than a football field. But, apparently the audience fell in love with the actor himself, Robert Downey Jr. as Tony Stark, and for a reason — he was a hilarious, relatable and loyal, messed-up billionaire, who just happened to be flying around in an almost-invulnerable mechanical suit – simply a perfect superhero for that time.
In the latest edition of the story our hero did evolve completely and comes up to be an absolutely different person: not an irresponsible playboy he was during the first two movies; he’s in a committed relationship with his gal pal, Pepper Potts , and this change is the one that I like the most in the movie. But suffering from PTSD after the events of The Avengers in New York, makes Tony take refuge in his troops of armored suits and keep Pepper on a distance from himself. And that is the moment when Aldrich Killian, a long forgotten shadow from Stark’s past, a biotech entrepreneur who attempts to come between Stark and his girlfriend. Moreover, there is a constant threat from a mysterious terrorist calling himself The Mandarin, who is broadcasting dire threats and setting off explosions daily — including the one, that badly injures Stark Industries’ security chief and Stark’s best friend and former chauffeur, Happy Hogan – Toney’s cup gets full, and that is the time when he decides to make it personal and take the bad guy down. But unfortunately, as if often happens, he got misled by his own ego and over charted beliefs in his powers and this almost resulted in his total failure to be able to protect himself and his sweetheart.
But, as must-have chapters in superhero movies very often do, "Iron Man 3" also tells us what happens to our hero when he starts to battle his inner demons and rediscovers the very nature of being a superhero. As a result of an overestimation of his own figure, Iron Man is now left for dead with a busted suit, which becomes just the right time to settle his mind, regroup his thoughts and rebuild his spirit, and his suit of course, with assistance from a completely unexpected personage - a plucky kid, called Harley, who finds Stark in his own garage.
In the second half of a movie, the geek side - the hardware part takes charge, in the form of wonderful and breathtaking special-effects, which are simply required in such kind of a movie. The action sequences are technically flawless, and sometimes quite clever — such as when Stark fights armed guards with only a few pieces of the Iron Man suit, which he upgraded so that it can part and fly to him, assembling around a hero. But the way director of the movie decided to surrender the edginess to the flashy visuals is kind of unclear to me. As a result, "Iron Man 3" delivers the expected impression, more than "Iron Man 2" did, but it is not that “breath of fresh air”, that it used to be from the beginning of the trilogy. Still, the well-done characterization and clever plot twists, that drive the action throughout the whole movie, and not only computer effects, make this “Iron Man” the best Iron Man for me out of three yet.
