Excerpt: Either IM3 is a Marvel movie in the guise of a Shane Black action-comedy or the other way around. Regardless, it's an awful lot of fun.

Excerpt: Black largely acquits himself well, keeping the pace brisk, deploying a couple of modest surprises and staging a few undeniably impressive, super-sized setpieces.

No Stars Given

Excerpt: Downey is at his superhero genius best here, rattling off dialogue both clever and boilerplate with non-repetitive aplomb.
