To fuel the Arc Reactor, I think Shane Black's Iron Man 3 is a damn good movie that has been growing on me the more I think about it. It's not at all what I was expecting, a completely different and more physical yet technical movie all about what it means to be the Iron Man, both with and without the armor. I love the Christmas setting of the film, not only does it make it the perfect Shane Black presentation, but it works well as a frame for the deeper character story. The big reveal with The Mandarin was crazy, I thought it was a joke at first, but then becomes forgotten quickly. There's some amazingly choreographed action in this, and a story that really explores the depths of the character of Tony Stark. Just don't see this in 3D - not worth it.
