10 Highest Ever Grossing Movies Released In May - Ranked From Worst To Best

8. Iron Man 3

Domestic Gross: $409,013,994 Arguably the most controversial movie to have been released as part of the ever expanding Marvel Cinematic Universe canon, it was left to Lethal Weapon screenwriter Shane Black to deliver the third chapter in the Iron Man trilogy after the relatively lukewarm reviews that met Jon Faverau's muddy second installment. Despite a fan-based outcry regarding the treatment of Ben Kingsley's villainous Mandarin, for the most part Black - and co-writer Drew Pearce - delivered a fun, thrilling extravaganza of a blockbuster in the vein of a Tom Clancy thriller. Despite the fact that Iron Man 3 is solid fare from start to finish, though, many fans couldn't get away from the fact that the Mandarin had been reduced to something of a joke - you can still here the cries of several Marvel fanboys scattered across the realms of the internet all these months later. If you can get past that little blip, though (though you might not even see it as much of a blip to begin with), Iron Man 3 delivers in almost every way that an Iron Man movie is supposed to. Robert Downey Jr. shines, and even Gwyneth Paltrow is bearable.
