Reviews@24Panels: IRON MAN 3 (2013)

More a follow-up to The Avengers than a sequel to Iron Man 2, Iron Man 3 picks up some time after the events of Joss Whedon's 2012 blockbuster. Genius billionaire playboy philanthropist Tony Stark (Robert Downey Jr.) is having trouble dealing with the emotional aftermath of the events in The Avengers while mysterious terrorist The Mandarin (Ben Kingsly) is taking credit for a series of bombings. Meanwhile, handsome scientist Aldrich Killian (Guy Pearce) -- who has a history with both Stark and Pepper Potts (Gwyneth Paltrow) -- seeks a partnership with Stark Industries.
