Iron Man 3 – it was awesome. I love the movie :) Robert Downey Junior again delivers a very solid performance as Tony Stark. The beginning of the movie was a bit slow but it gradually picks up the pace as the story line moves along. I love the conversation between Tony & Harley; a precocious 10-year-old boy. The Dora The Explorer watch (limited edition) was so funny :) Guy Pearce who plays the actual villain Aldrich Killian was simply amazing. Guy is one of those actors that are not really that blessed with Hollywood good looks but he is blessed with such an amazing acting talents & skills and inner charisma. When he is given the right script and character to play in, he will deliver it to even greater heights and his fictional characters will always be so memorable. A nice small surprise is when Pepper Potts also manage to get into one of the Iron Man’s suits. But the biggest surprise of all is Mandarin played by Ben Kingsley. His kingly performance gave the image to the whole wide world what a cold-blooded terrorist looks like, how he speaks, his threatening manners, his behavior, his cold impossible demands, his eccentricity – it was so altogether real. So believable. Ben Kingsley was so polished. But Mandarin was just a dummy; Mandarin is actually a British actor, Trevor Slattery, who says that he is oblivious to the actions carried out in his name. The Mandarin is actually a creation of Killian – I certainly didn’t see this twist coming. The cream of the cake is during the final scene where Stark summons each of his Iron Man suits, controlled remotely by JARVIS, to provide air support. That was so cool :)
I also get to meet up with Adrianna; a former Uni mate during the free movie preview. The only person that I know. Jo, Troy, Eloise was a no-show. Also manage to strike out conversations with random seniors & juniors of Murdoch University students. A great morning outing :)
