Iron
Man 3
Iron Man 3 was without a doubt one
of the better movies of this year. I was worried that it wouldn’t be that good,
but this is actually almost as good as the Avengers which is pretty impressive.
It’s easy to like this movie if u
liked Robert Downey jr. as Iron man in the first place. Unlike Iron Man 2, he
has better dialogue this time around. In fact there are some down-points in the
movie which you would think would drag the movie down but clever dialogue keeps
things rolling.
Of course the special effects are
terrific. Iron Man has some new tricks of the trade so to speak, such as
automated Iron Man suits(lots of them). He can also summon pieces of the suit
to his body with clever hand guestures. This adds a new dynamic to the action.
The villain is revealed in the first
few minutes of the film. I think things get a little too biological for me as
the villains have insane regenerative powers. However with that being said the
fights are very good. The ending sequence is really really impressive.
So what’s the final verdict here?
Iron Man 3 is the best of the 3….easily. The plot is clever and everything just
seems to flow smoothly. However there may not be another Iron Man since Tony
Stark removes his core thing from his chest and becomes a normal person. This
is one entertaining thrill ride….
9/10 or 4.5/5 stars.
Star
Trek-Into Darkness
Star Trek 2 is perhaps the
summer’s best movie so far. The last movie was excellent. This one follows
suit. Its kind of the same old premise that every sequel should follow: take
your established main characters and put them into very tough situations.
The plot
unfolds really well. And the movie keeps telling you more about the new
villain(s) as it continues to progress. The only real knock on this movie is
that some of the characters seems a little left out, but the main characters,
Kirk, Spock, and that black chick(forgot her name) deliver.
The action
and special effects are incredible as the opening sequence( which I think was
very important to the overall story). After that the movie really heats up. I
wont say its better than the first movie, but its very well put together. I
think this will set up for another Star Trek movie in the future.
Final
verdict is a 9/10…..its a great great movie.
