Iron Man 3 / 2D / 12A

Showing: Fri 7 - Mon 10 Jun

A rip-roaring third outing for Robert Downey Jr’s superhero. Written and directed by 80’s action movie supremo Shane Black, this has a throwback feel to it with a nice line in well-scripted buddy comedy amongst the action. Our hero Tony Stark / Iron Man is plagued by bad dreams but must deal with his anxiety as a sinister new terrorist force emerges fronted by The Mandarin (Sir Ben Kingsley having a ball as the bad guy).
