After Chaos, a Hero Rises to the Occasion
‘Iron Man 3,’ With Robert Downey Jr.
The author of the article is Manohla Dargis. It was published on May 2, 2013 on page of the New York Times. The article provides the information about Tony Stark a k a Iron Man a k a Robert Downey Jr. It states that right before the author saw “Iron Man 3,” a publicist implored the several hundred attendees — professionals and civilians jammed into a multiplex box and throbbing with excitement — not to reveal any crucial information about the movie to anyone else.
In the beginning of the article the author also reports that Robert Downey Jr. jokes and poses, wears his superhero suit and flirts with Pepper Potts (Gwyneth Paltrow). Also the article have the information about the makers of the film — including the director Shane Black, who wrote the script with Drew Pearce — could not, of course, have known that their carefully engineered entertainment would open so soon after the Boston attack.
Futher the author states that not that anyone wants to see that, especially with kids in the theater. (The movie is rated PG-13.) “Iron Man 3” is conspicuously meant to be escapist entertainment (a pathetic conceit given what it says movie people think about real life — or rather the real lives of their customers).
The next information is about the fact that “Iron Man 3” uses that iconography in the extreme, with a terrorist figurehead, the Mandarin (Ben Kingsley), made up to look like Osama bin Laden; a televised execution; Middle East locations; American soldiers; and a complexly choreographed scene of falling bodies. It all looks and sounds familiar, though this is strictly Marvel’s world with its own rules and reality.
In conclusion we can read that those are loud and generally less impressive than Mr. Pearce or especially Mr. Kingsley, who turn in the sort of engaged performances that Mr. Downey no longer gives in the franchise. The “Iron Man” films turned Mr. Downey into a huge star, but the role has gradually, maybe inexorably, swallowed him.
As for me I really enjoy the Marvel's comics and book about super heroes and believe that Iron Man is worth seeing on the screen. I will find time for watching it in the cinema so as to feel the whole entertaining atmosphere of the film.
