Review: Iron Man 3 (2013)


Iron Man 3

Clearly the best yet from Marvels!

Score: 8/10

Iron Man was more of a follow-up to "The Avengers" than Iron Man 2, not just by dates but also by creative expression.

It starts nicely with 1999 New Year's eve which becomes the back bone of the story that develops. It has a beautiful mixture in right proportions of drama, humour (very enjoyable and subtle ones) and of course the blasts, instead of just sticking to one tone of seriousness or coolness. Shane Black's taken a bold step by moving out of the clichés and creating something which has some very innovative moments of "Superhero Rescue", Iron Man(s) sky spectacle and a couple unpredictable twists. Everyone's played their part very well, though Sir Ben Kingsley clearly needs a special mention for his amazing portrayal of Mandarin. The character builds its image of unstoppable terror such wonderfully with Kingsley's unique oration style that one might start thinking that if he continues in the same way, he might even beat Joker. I find it surprising that it has submerged below 80% in Rotten Tomatoes and under 8 here in IMDb, since these are the same people who loved Avengers which if you have a brick by brick comparison doesn't match up to Iron Man 3's fun and enjoyable experience or even directorial beauty. A pure summer popcorn movie, thorough entertainment nevertheless!

In Her Paradise

Image
The universe was created with a thought and the thought came from a feeling, the feeling of love, so they say. A sense of protectiveness and insecurity naturally engulfs you with this powerful word. I too felt strong until I held Jia for the first time, and her soft tiny fingers curled into my palm. Jia was born when I was going through one of the toughest times in academics and there was a fear of losing it all. She was born to my elder sister on 15 th  of December, 2012, just a day after my birthday. She yawned as beautifully as anyone could yawn and stared at everyone with her raised eyebrows, trying to figure the small world around her. She immediately started crying. Months went by and I took care of her in every possible way until the day, when she was about to leave for Hyderabad. I knew I had to make the most of it, I knew I was not going to see much of her for a very long time. I had a whole bunch of things planned for her, after I returned ...

Glass Half Full

What I disclose here is something that I have hardly shared before. It is about the time when I was 16, which wasn't as sweet to me as it is normally called. I had just separated from the girl I loved and I didn't know how to start preparing for my 10 th grade boards which was due in few months. But this one day out of nowhere my mom called me and said, “See, there’s huge discounts on the package tour to Goa ”. Few days later we had packed off ourselves to leave for the gorgeous destination. While in the train I was still lost in the medley of emotional thoughts about my love. This was probably the first time that I had experienced anything like this. The feeling of staring and feeling the utmost beauty of slipping oneself into the fantasy zone where only we existed was a world I never wanted to come out of. Songs started making more sense than before and the pathetic cries of my friends about their own love life suddenly felt not so pathetic anymore. Whi...
