Iron Man 3: “As always, the battle scenes are powerful and cool !”
The visuals were truly amazing! However, I couldn't help but be a little surprised by the scenes where Iron Man's suit was repeatedly destroyed. There were so many instances of "if it breaks, just put on another suit" that I found myself thinking, "Wait, is it over already?" As a long-time fan, I felt that the image of Iron Man as the "steel hero" had become a little cheap. Perhaps the filmmakers wanted to depict Tony Stark's human frailty, which differs from the invincible hero image we've come to expect. -
