Perfect Casting/Acting!

Rating: 6/10 (29 April 2008)

Robert Downey Jr. is perfect! Gwyneth Paltrow is perfect! Terrence Howard is Perfect...and Jeff Bridges is brilliant! -There is something deliciously great and different about seeing The Big Lebowski play Tony Stark's second In Command. Bridges is truly one of the best actors of his generation, and I guess the same thing can be said about Downey Jr:
I believe it is important, even essential, to get actors with such comedic talents as Michael Keaton and now Robert Downey Jr. to play these superhero types. It proves for far more interesting watching than an actor who puts his chin out and plays it sooooooo serious all the time. This is a role that perhaps Mel Gibson could have played 20 years ago, but other than him I can't really picture anyone else having pulled it of so efortlessly.
The movie is entertaining with blasting action scenes and a director that clearly knows what he's doing, but what struck me the most was the chemistry beetween the leads and how well the dialogue scenes were handled. Gwyneth Paltrow is so real and beautiful in her part and you can feel the relationships between the characters is already built in and feels real.....check it out!
