Here's what a few reviews had to say: 

The New York Times review of "Iron Man 3" says this: 

The story takes place after the events of “Marvel’s The Avengers” and a battle for New York, with Stark talking in a voice-over: “We create our own demons.” There’s a bunch of plot, the usual special effects and new faces, including Rebecca Hall as Maya Hansen, a geneticist, and Guy Pearce as Aldrich Killian, a rich guy with one of those mysterioso organizations that are invariably up to no good.

That’s more or less it, give or take a few explosions...

The Washington Post reviewer gave "Iron Man 3" a scant two stars, saying: 

A frantic, occasionally funny, finally enervating bricolage of special effects, explosive set pieces, sardonic one-liners and notional human emotions, this branch of the Marvel franchise tree feels brittle and over-extended enough to snap off entirely. From its anxious protagonist and the battered metal sheaths he dons to save the world to the clattering, fiery mayhem that ensues with metronomic predictability, “Iron Man 3” is less a movie than a final war whoop let loose before utter exhaustion sets in.

The Forbes review of "Iron Man 3" offers: 

This movie feels like a comedy with a superhero plot, but luckily, it functions admirably as a comedy. There are plenty of laughs, earned and otherwise, but for the most part successful. Robert Downey Jr. is so thoroughly Tony Stark at this point that he can rattle off barbs in his sleep and still maintain a heart of gold. There’s a kid who sort of gets a bye by being a kid, but director Shane Black admirably skids across cliché with Tony Stark’s knowing one-liners.
