CAUTION!Contains Spoilers!!!
Tony Stark ( Robert Downey Jr.) seeks revenge to a terrorist, named The Mandarin ( Sir Ben Kingsley).
And that's it that's the whole plot.
I have heard very good things about the finale of the Iron Man trilogy and when I watched it, I was just completely disappointed.
The movie begins strong Tony Stark in Switserland, 1999 where he meets Yinsen for the first time and Aldrich Killian(Guy Pearce), the director of a firm named "AIM". Somehow he is with his date Mia (Rebecca Hall) and they are doing experiments.
Back in present day Killian walks into the office of Pepper Potts (Gwyneth Paltrow) and shows her his "big brain". Tony Stark has problems with himself because of the Avengers movie and tries to protect Pepper.
While this happens The Mandarin (which is racist because mandarin is a language in china) puts a sort of bomb into a human and the human explodes in Chinatown. The explosion kills Stark's Bodyguard Happy. And so Iron Man wants revenge but he's telling in the news where he lives and The Mandarin blows his house up. Well, fail.
Tony Stark lands somewhere in a small county.
Director Shane Black tried to show us the human Tony Stark, but fails at this I could not feel any connection to him. The Mandarin was a villain not in any way scary or interesting, Sir Ben Kingsley (Gandhi) did a bad job. Guy Pearce who turned out to be the real villain was so bad I almost forgot he was in "Memento".
The rest of the cast was not impressive , or bad.
Instead of fighting villains Tony Stark had to fight sort of burning zombies, who can't die. Which was very boring.
Moreover the only connection to the Avengers movie was his nightmares. Not even a cameo or anything.
On the whole, I found Iron Man 3 was a boring unentertaining blockbuster.

Iron Man 3 Review comment
Okay, it has flaws. I'll give you that. But it's still not a bad movie.
The main fault lies with its director. Shane Black is an excellent director as well as a wonderful writer (I absolutely adore Kiss Kiss Bang Bang), but I was skeptical from the start when he was picked to write and directed the conclusion to the crumbling Iron Man trilogy. He is not a right fit. He is the person of dark comedy and stuff like Lethal Weapon, yet the movie was not disappointing, it was entertaining when it …
