Writing part 2 - Review

Arrange the following sentences into a review of the film Iron Man 3. The review has a title and four paragraphs. The third paragraph has three sentences in it.
  1. Iron Man 3
  2. Overall, Iron Man 3 is highly entertaining.
     
  3. I'm not a great fan of action films so I wasn't expecting to enjoy Iron Man 3.
     
  4. The acting is first-rate, as you would expect from starts like Downey Jr, Kingsley and Gwyneth Paltrow, and they are well supported by the rest of the cast.
     
  5. I can wholeheartedly recommend it to almost anybody.
     
  6. The plot isn't particularly sophisticated.
     
  7. However, I was pleasantly surprised by this action-packed follow-up to the first two Iron Man films.
     
  8. It revolves around an attempt by the shadowy villain Mandarin (Ben Kingsley) to launch terror attacks on the United States, and Iron Man's (Robert Downey Junior) superhuman efforts to foil his plans.
  9. Visually the film is superb, with spectacular special effects that are a hallmark of the Iron Man movies.
     
  10. It isn't a deep or complex film, but as a two-hour action movie, I can't fault it.
     
  11. The script is witty and clever, with lots of snappy dialogue and many amusing moments.
