Tony Stark.

Iron Man.

Those two names mean so much to Comic Book fans, no matter how big or small of a fan you are. You KNOW who Tony Stark and Iron Man are.

I am starting off my review by saying this, I have only seen parts of Iron Man 1 and 2. I know, BAD blogger who claims to love Comic Book Super Heroes. My only excuse is that I rarely get time to sit down and watch a movie anymore.

I do know that I LOVED Iron Man 3. I loved that I was able to follow along perfectly and not be lost due to not seeing the other two films. I loved the little bits and pieces where they included The Avengers film. They made me giggle.

This movie had it all. Action, A villain, a super hero with some help from some friends, and yes a love story. I really enjoyed seeing a softer side to Tony Stark as he talked more about loving Peper. It also has the snarky one liners we have come to know and love from Tony Stark.

There are points in this movie that you find yourself holding your breath and praying the outcome is what all fans would want. Then of course, there are points where you want to scream, “Nooooooo!!” at the screen. Most of all, I laughed and I smiled through most of the film.

I do however want to point out, this one is more violent that say, the Avengers. I know most kids saw the Avengers but in my opinion I think this one is a little tough. Yes, there is more violence but also the story line has a lot to do with terrorist. This is something that is very front and center in our lives right now given the terrible things happening in the world recently. My kids have been asking a lot of questions regarding the terrorist so I think we will wait on taking the kids to see this one. I just KNOW my children and I know the questions and the fears that could develop from this film. Being big fans, I know they will not be happy but I think for now, this is not for them. As I say with most of my movie reviews, you KNOW your children and what they can and can not handle so please really think about your decision on taking them to see now only this film but other films with a PG-13 rating.

Marvel’s “Iron Man 3” pits brash-but-brilliant industrialist Tony Stark/Iron Man against an enemy whose reach knows no bounds. When Stark finds his personal world destroyed at his enemy’s hands, he embarks on a harrowing quest to find those responsible. This journey, at every turn, will test his mettle. With his back against the wall, Stark is left to survive by his own devices, relying on his ingenuity and instincts to protect those closest to him. As he fights his way back, Stark discovers the answer to the question that has secretly haunted him: does the man make the suit or does the suit make the man?

 Will you be heading out to see Iron Man 3 this weekend?
