This wasn't a good movie

Rating: 4/10 (26 January 2011)

It was nice look at, the production was smooth and special effects OK. Robert Downey was great but his sarcasm and ego thing got tired after 20 minutes and unfortunately nothing else happened.
This movie was way more about watching high profile actors be on screen and underachieve. First Iron Man rocks way better. Scarlett Johansen? Just there to be in black leather and kick legs. The movie got too full of itself, made you not care about anyone and was a detached mess.
It seems that nobody is capable of making an action movie these days that even makes an attempt to try to have anything other than special effects or action - All action and no story is old damn news. I thought Tron was great - could've been better but it really held itself together. Iron Man 2, Transformers 2, complete meltdowns.
You can say that Inception was an action movie - but I would lean towards "Thriller" with terrific story and action to achieve its goal.
Try again Jon Favreau. Give us something better next time.
