             As usual with this kind of film I have no idea what the story is supposed to be or what the bad guys want but there are a lot of explosions and fancy gadgets. Tony Stark aka Iron Man (RD Jr) is having nightmares, insomnia, mutinous Iron Man suits and anxiety attacks. Which make his quite loveable.       

So never mind the story. I like this Iron Man.
