Comparing Movie Review of Iron Man 3

"'Iron Man 3' Doesn't Iron Out its Kinks" (Review of the review)

Despite its clever title, New York Post's film review of Iron Man 3 scrutinizes every minute of the movie. It starts off with saying Thor, another Avenger hero, wrote and directed the movie. Although I laughed at this comment, he has to be realistic. He is comparing Shane Black, who directed the fifth highest grossing film of all time, Iron Man 3, to a fictional man who throws around a hammer. Even though a majority of the review is spent bashing the film with jokes and smug comments, he does make some valid points. He says that the humor in the film is directed to a middle school audience. I would agree with this especially because of the young boy inventor that appears as a son-like figure for Tony. I think that the boy was an unnecessary part of the movie that made it feel more elementary. I also agree with one of his opinions about a scene in the movie when Pepper, Tony's lover, gets to wear the famous iron man suit. The review says, "Pepper also gets to wear the Iron Man suit, but if anyone can us it, why do we need Tony?", exactly why do we need Tony? It might as well be me, a random high school girl, underneath the iron costume.

The review was over-exaggerated and the author clearly hated the movie. He makes a joke out of one of the best superhero trilogies of all time. Most of his comments were extremely unnecessary, but the review made me laugh. He criticized Iron Man 3 so harshly to the point were it was entertaining to read.
