Iron man 3 review: Robert Downey Jr. Goes on Auto pilot

LA weekly described Iron man 3 as “too much plot, too much action, too many characters, too many pseudo feelings”

Yes, Iron man 3 has too many of these too manys. However, these complex plots, subplots, characters and actions are almost the identities of recent blockbuster films, and so far Iron Man 3 is achieving what it attended to achieving, a huge box office return.

Blockbuster films without complex story structure, hardly maintain its blockbuster goal. Die hard 5, a good way to die is a prefect example of intended blockbuster film with simple story line. As it was simple, audience are simply not buying it. It seemed audiences are too intelligent to watch simple story nowadays.

However, the problem might be the confusing villains. In the first act, Mandarin is the villain and suddenly Mandarin turns to be an actor that covers up another villain, Killian. Whose motivation is unclear, and he doesn’t have any charm as a strong villain, except his physical power. It would be so much compelling it the Villain not only has superior physical power, but also plays mind games.
