Iron Man 3

`
Went to see Iron Man 3 yesterday. Paid $9.50 for the 3-D matinee.  And just like when I went to see Avatar in 3-D, after a while I got used to the extra dimension until one scene or another would remind me.

I had heard that the special effects (FX) were good but the movie itself wasn't so great. And I know why.

You can't have nonstop action. There have to be places in the movie for the story to unfold, to let you know who is doing what, and why. The problem is that there were too many of these slow spots, and they lasted way too long.

There were bits and pieces of action, and humor, scattered throughout the movie, but it wasn't until the last fifteen or twenty minutes that all the action really started popping. And popped it did! Can't fault the action at all.

Of course the gorgeous Gwyneth Paltrow was still gorgeous, and she had a bit more to do in this one.

The only omission was that of Leslie Bibb, who was in three scenes in the first one, and in only one in the second movie.

On a scale of 1 -10, I would give this one a 6 or 7, whereas the first two were at an 8 or 9.
