Ol' Shellhead's newest film is a curious creature. It's an 'Iron Man' sequel, an 'Avengers' sequel, an 'Avengers' victory lap and, most importantly, a playful bop on the nose to those who only want their superhero flicks to stick to the serious script. Once the much ballyhooed Mandarin reversal is revealed, 'Iron Man 3' becomes a delightful breeze - a special effects driven buddy cop picture between Tony Stark and Rhodey and earns its spot on our Best Movies of 2013 list. Even with the sensational Air Force One rescue, this movie does feel a tad slight, but it may end up the superhero flick that's just impossible to turn off when you stumble upon it on basic cable. And, yes, that's a compliment.
