WTC Reviews: Iron Man 3
The Good: The CG in Iron Man 3 is fucking incredible.
The Bad: It’s 130 minutes of fucking awful clichés and one-liners. It’s also chock-full of terrible acting. Not even Sir Ben Kingsley could save this film from itself. There’s no plot.
The Final Word: The visuals are fantastic. Sadly, everything else is shit compared to the first two movies. It comes across as the obvious cash grab that it was for Marvel. They should be ashamed of themselves for doing this to fans.
