Such a great film!

This is the first truly great film of 2013. Very much a worthy follow up to 'The Avengers', and it MIGHT beat out Iron Man 2 as my favorite of the three Iron Man movies.

Marvel Phase 2 is off to a great start!

Marvel kind of teaches that you can't change the direction of the wind, but you can adjust your sails to always reach your destination. That's what great films do. They are smart as they entertain.

Better than very good and damn near greatness.

How can you not love Robert Downey Jr. as he battled Guy Pearce alongside Gwyneth Paltrow in a sports bra!

To forgive means pardoning the unpardonable. Faith means believing the unbelievable.

It's like drinking a fine wine!

The Russos following up on Shane Black's work is all the valedation the head honchos at Marvel needs.

Buy them some fine wine and dine them. Lock them up for multiple films.

Why can't everyone see that?

Most everyone now seems to be on board after they put that Mandarin genie back in to the fanboy bottle.

Best of the trilogy? Oh momma!

Iron Man 3 reaches for much higher ground and it gets there which is why I think some people are flustered. Maybe they were expecting wild armor action all the way through? Iron Man 3 is a well written and dynamic movie first, an action film second.

Wild armor action would just be boring like a Speed Racer sequel or a Transformer movie with dinobots.

RDJ played it straight and there were some heavy emotional undertones to his performance. I believed the story completely. This was a high octane film.

All say as much.

I'm glad they used fake presidents instead of real ones like X-Men did with Nixon and JFK.

Watching this again on FX this week, it drives home just how good it turned out.

So glad to see the small percentage of crazed fanboys starting to see that the Trevor usage was masterful.

I accept your surrender.

Best comicbook movie ever? Certainly the best phase of Marvel so far. Can RDJ make it all the way through phase three?
