The article published on the website http://www.guardian.co.uk on May 6, 2013 is headlined "Iron Man 3: the superhero sequel suits up for a cinematic smash". The article reports at length Iron Man 3 opened with the second-biggest debut of all time in the US at the weekend – a staggering $175.3m (£113m) – to become the year's highest-grossing film so far.
The author of the article, Ben Child carries a lot of comment on the new Iron Man film, for which 20 minutes of footage was screened to bloggers and critics earlier this week, which was titled plain old Iron Man 3.
The author of the article points out that Downey Jr was unquestionably the star of the obscenely successful The Avengers, though the Hulk certainly gave him a good run for his greenbacks. With the $1.5bn (£990m) superhero ensemble having taken the genre into new territory in terms of popularity with audiences, an awful lot is riding on Iron Man 3.
There is every reason to beleve that with an Oscar-winner,Ben Kingsley, as villain the Mandarin, one of Stark's best-known enemies, and the addition of Guy Pearce and Rebecca Hall as Aldrich Killian and Maya Hansen, co-creators of the Extremis virus, Downey Jr was facing an entirely new level of adversity. Marvel apparently considered using the Mandarin for the first Iron Man film but decided it was too soon to introduce such a powerful figure, an entirely sensible move. Weak antagonists have been the traditional downfall of superhero sequels from Spider-Man 3 to the later Superman movies.
The article concludes by saying that Iron Man 3 arrived in the UK on 26 April and debuted in the US on 3 May and stresses that luckily, this was a film starring Downey Jr from the writer and director of Kiss Kiss with Robert Downey Jr, Gwyneth Paltrow, Guy Pearce and Don Cheadle.

To sum it up, I can't share the author's view as I have not seen Iron Man yet. Anyway I found this article very useful, and of good value. The message of the author was clear to understand his opinion to this film and , of course, his hero Downey Jr.
