Iron Man 3 Review – Spoiler Free
Who is Tony Stark? Who is Iron Man? Those questions are given a lot of attention in the third film in the Iron Man trilogy. Taking place after the world changing events of The Avengers, Iron Man 3 is really a sequel to that film, and yet, it seems to exist in a universe entirely separate from it.

If I had one problem with the film, it’s that it could have been clearer that this was the reason The Avengers were kept at arms length by Stark.
