Looks like the producers of Iron Man 3 broke into Christopher Nolan’s house and stole a script of The Dark Knight Rises from his boudoir and after reading it they were like, “Crap. We need to make Iron Man 3 dark, you guys.”
Thus, we’re getting a darker installment to the Iron Man series this time round. But darkness isn’t bad, per se. The real risk of any superhero sequel is that it bites off more than it can chew. Let’s face it. Even Dark Knight Rises came within inches of choking on the massive bite it took. So my prediction is that Iron Man 3 will choke on its bite. After all, this movie’s going to incorporate The Mandarin, Iron Patriot, a million Iron Man suits, Don Cheadle, and angst. That’s a lot.
Unfortunately, this film gets two and a half stars. But never fear. Iron Man 3 won’t kill Iron Man. The Avengers 2 will show up just in time and perform the Heimlich.
(Alas, if only Avengers 2 had been at the same restaurant when Spiderman 3 choked to death.)
