Iron Man 3

Seen recently at Aksarben Cinema
3 Paws

Robert Downey Jr. is an Oscar nomiee for his role in Chaplin (1992), but he's a lot more fun to watch in his third outing as Tony Stark, the man behind the iron suit.

Who wouldn't want to hang out with this guy? He's insanely smart, he's funny, he dresses well, and he attracts great people who are able to cut through his layers of bravado to the man who lies beneath. I don't know what the comic book crowd thinks, but I enjoyed seeing a vulnerable Iron Man, one who's willing to accept help from a young small-town loner (Ty Simpkins in a breakout role) who accepts the hero at face value.

There's also lots of noise and lots of things that blow up, if that's your thing. And the villains in this one - if you wait it out - deliver in true blockbuster fashion.

Bonus Bones: 0
I guess he doesn't have time for a pet.
