Welcome back to The UnPopular Opinion! The UnPopular Opinion features different takes on films that either I hated, but that the majority of film fans loved or vice versa. We have always hoped this column will promote constructive and geek fueled discussion. Now, with us entering the visual world, you can get pissed off in a whole new medium!
With Phase Four of the Marvel Cinematic Universe starting later this year, fans are still lamenting the loss of Robert Downey Jr as Iron Man. Despite his presence in the first three phases of the MCU, nowhere is he more central than in his own titular trilogy. While many have been overly critical of the IRON MAN sequels, few films have been divisive as Shane Black's IRON MAN 3. In this week's UnPopular Opinion, I dive into why IRON MAN 3 is not only the best film in the trilogy but also the single best portrayal of Tony Stark in the entire MCU.
