"Iron Man 3" is a lot more organized than its predecessor, and a lot less cheesy than its predecessor. If anything, "Iron Man 3" is cheesy on purpose. While the director/writer team of Jon Favreau and Justin Theroux that made up "Iron Man 2" is certainly a talented one, Shane Black brings back everything that was great about the original "Iron Man," plus everything that makes his take on the action genre so unique.
"Iron Man 3" begins with a confession and then a flashback to 1999. During that time, Tony Stark (Robert Downey Jr.) is still the same womanizing, partying genius, except with a better heart. The key information here is that brilliant scientist Maya Hansen (Rebecca Hall) and her boss Aldrich Killian (Guy Pearce) work on a special experiment that could eventually help humans grow body parts back. It is a nice touch for the third "Iron Man" movie, as this series explores people using technology to exceed their life expectancy.
