Iron Man 3 and The Beginning of the Summer Movie Season

     I saw Iron Man 3 last weekend when it opened and I was pleasantly surprised.  I enjoyed Iron Man but hated Iron Man 2 so I wasn't sure what to expect for this third film.  Thankfully Tony Stark was back to his Avengers self with witty one liners and cool gadgets.  I know Robert Downey Jr. is nearing 50, but he sure doesn't look it.  I hope he decides to play his alter ego at least one more time in the Avengers 2 as I'm not sure I can accept another actor as Tony Stark.  I also liked the insertion of the precocious kid, Harley (played by Ty Simpkins), who saves Tony more than once and The Mandarin (played by Ben Kingsley) who was hilarious and almost stole the show.  Pepper even got a chance to wear the suit and become a superhero herself.  Overall, this was a great popcorn flick that is a great start to the summer movie season for 2013.
     Next weekend I will be busy geeking out over Star Trek Into Darkness and Dallas Comic Con so check back in to see my Star Trek review and get the scoop on William Shatner, Richard Dean Anderson and Nathan Fillion.  Can't Wait!!!
