\"Iron-Man-3-IMAX-poster1-405x600\"<\/a> 1. Iron Man 3 (Disney, 4,253 Theaters, 130 Minutes, Rated PG-13):\u00a0<\/strong>So, the awesome task of following\u00a0The Avengers\u00a0<\/strong>begins, and Phase II startss just like Phase I one did–with Iron Man.<\/p>\n

But Iron Man 3\u00a0<\/b>doesn’t just have to rise out of the shadow of\u00a0The Avengers<\/strong>, it also has to overcome the spectre of\u00a0Iron Man 2,\u00a0<\/strong>which has taken on the patina\u00a0among\u00a0some fans as being completely awful (I didn’t think it was that bad, but what do I know?)<\/p>\n

There’s a new writer and director this time around in Shane Black, and this installment finally brings Tony Stark’s comic book arch nemesis The Mandarin to the big screen. It looks like\u00a0it might\u00a0be the biggest Iron Man film yet. I doubt it has a snowball’s chance in South Beach of beating The Avengers<\/strong> (although it has made 150% of its budget\u00a0Internationally\u00a0already), but it should be a fitting start to Phase II and the summer movie season.<\/p>\n
