Iron Man 3- Great but Missing Something

Posted on June 11, 2013June 11, 2013

With the release of Man of Steele quickly approaching, I realized I never posted my thought on Iron Man 3. I know you were all dying to know my opinion, weren’t cha? Weren’t cha? 🙂

Okay, to keep it simple, Iron Man 3 was a good movie. Action packed, interesting story arc for the main character, Robert Downey Junior at his best. So yes, it was a good movie. In my mind it was a good as the first, but I wouldn’t say it was any better, just different. Tony spent way more time out of the suit than in, which forced him to make choices he might have not otherwise. And it was violent. Seriously, explosions and death galore. My eight-year-old did not want to go, and I’m glad I didn’t make her.

But there was one element that, to this day, irks the bageebees out of me.

Where the hell were the Avengers?

Tony’s house is blown up on live television. Are you trying to tell me no one, NO ONE, from SHEILD or the Avengers contacted Tony in any way? I understand that the writers wanted to get Tony out and to be able to function on his own, but come on, I’d bet even Steve Rogers would have learned how to use a cellphone and tried to call him.  The scene would not have had to been long and could have gone like this:

Steve: Tony, I just saw what happened. Are you in need of assistance? I know we don’t always see eye to eye, but how can I be of service?

Tony: Thanks, Cap. Appreciate it. But this is my fight. I have to take care of things on my own. Kiss Fury for me and tell him I have everything under control.

Steve: Are you sure, Tony? You don’t have to be a hero.

Tony: Funny, that’s not what the papers say. Anyway, I got this.

Steve: You’re a crazy son of a gun.

Tony: Love you too.

Really, there didn’t have to be much. But there should have been some contact, any contact, from one of the other Avengers. I do not believe they would have left him hanging. The man launched himself into an interstellar wormhole to save his planet, and no one bothered to send a text to see if he was okay? Yeah, I’m irked.

Otherwise, it was a lovely film.

🙂
