Iron Man 3 was the most fun I've had with any of the Iron Man films. Robert Downey Jr. is a highly personable actor and makes the perfect comic book hero here: witty, charming, intelligent. He keeps our interest in every scene. Gwyneth Paltrow becomes his perfect foil. The Drew Pierce and Shane Black plot is highly convoluted, but filled with action, special effects and humor.
The film was obviously intended for a Christmas release: there are constant references to the holiday, sets are decorated for it, and at one climatic moment Christmas fireworks are talked about and Tony Stark says of the bad guys, "Let's send these guys to church." I'm glad to they hold release so the film could stand on its own rather than being compared to the other holidays films of 2012.
I would not be surprised to see this on the list of Christmas through Hollywood's eyes.
