The best MCU movie on Netflix? Thatd be Iron Man 3, Shane Blacks contribution to Tony Starks cinematic solo series. As the direct follow up to Joss Whedons billions-earning team-up movie, The Avengers, this one had a lot to live up to. And for the most part, it succeeded. Although the villains disappointed a vocal cross-section of viewers, Iron Man 3 did a great job at presenting Tonys Post Traumatic Stress Disorder after his wormhole-based near death experience from the preceding movie. Here we see Iron Man deconstructed, both figuratively and literally, with some interesting results. After Stark makes one of his trademarked terrible decisions (in this case, handing out his home address to a known terrorist), he effectively embarks on a self-imposed exile with only a beaten-to-sh*t suit to keep him company. That is, until he meets helpful youngster Harley (played by Ty Simpkins), who assists him with the rebuild. He faces off against a whole host of Extremis-enhanced evildoers as he attempts to gain revenge against the Mandarin. There are twists, turns and plenty of character material along the way to an epic final showdown, making Iron Man 3 a film that could just be Robert Downey Jnrs best solo outing in the MCU.
