Rating: ******
5/6
In Iron Man 3,
The third time out,
The government tries to
Take Tony stark out.
He runs away
And meets up with a lad,
And for part of the movie
He acts like his dad.
He’s trying to fix
His broken suit
So he can defend himself
From the suits.
Near the end of the movie
Tony’s surrounded
By multiple Iron Men,
Whom he founded.
There are a whole lot less
Action scenes here,
For it’s more of a tale
Of bonding and cheer.
Tony treats this kid
Like a son,
Foreshadowing some of the
Things later to come.
It’s sentimental,
Tongue-in-cheek,
Almost out of place
In this franchise of freaks,
But because it’s so grounded,
We care that much more.
I’m giving this movie
A one plus four.
