I'd love to leave my door unlocked at night, but this ain't Canada.

Rating: 7/10 (11 October 2010)

It was very entertaining, but...
I can understand how the realization that you are dying can make everything seem pointless, but it really makes for a depressing start to a movie that is supposed to be an action adventure. Tony Stark/Iron Man (Robert Downey Jr.) was really a pain to watch while he whined and made an a** of himself.
Pepper Potts (Gwyneth Paltrow) was reduced to be a complaining CEO as Tony fell apart. It was not a joy to watch.
Now, Don Cheadle was great. Scarlett Johansson was hot and kicked butt. Mickey Rourke was perfect for the role of the bad guy.
I will look forward to seeing most of these characters return in The Avengers, but I hope they lose the pity party and focus on action.
