The Arien has been wanting to watch this movie since it released but sadly something or the other ensured that he missed it. So, I was determined that he got a chance to watch it while he was in Bangalore, this week. We caught the movie on Saturday, at 10:15 am at PVR IMAX. The Taurean also joined us. After a hurried breakfast, we left to PVR in a hurry (as always). The tickets were available and we were one of the few folks watching the movie on a lazy Saturday morning.
Armed with a tub of popcorn, two cokes, and a small packet of Lays, the three of us settled down to watch the much-anticipated movie. This movie was not like the other Iron Man movies and both the Taurean and the Arien did not like it all that much. I liked it.
Gwyneth Paltrow (Pepper) wears the Iron Man suit for the first time and also has a good stunt scene towards the end of the movie. Robert Downey Jr., is funny as always. Jes like in
SkyFall, this movie showcases the inherent humanness or vulnerability of the superhero via his anxiety attacks. Ben Kingsley (Mandarin) as evil personified makes you wonder how Iron Man will deal with him. That is until the scene when Robert Downey Jr. confronts him. That twist was quite shocking and unexpected. There is a flashback sequence which sets the context for what happens later in the movie. The action sequences in 3D were good but not great. Some scenes remind you of Terminator (Judgement Day) but then re-generation forms the core theme and you cannot really surpass Terminator which was way ahead of its time. The destruction of the home of Tony Stark was a well-executed scene. The way Iron Man saves all the members thrown out of Air Force 1, was also a good action sequence.

Watching the movie at IMAX was worth the money. The 3D effect is hardly impressive at the other theatres.
