Not really a *solid* movie as far as I'm concerned.

Rating: 1/10 (22 May 2008)

I might be the wrong audience for this film and I don't want to pull it down without fairly good reasoning.
I can suspend disbelief to a degree. Spiderman gets bitten by a super spider, Batman decides to take on the criminal empire of Gotham city as the caped crusader. .Superman is the son of Jorrel.
It's not so much how Iron man becomes Iron man, I think it's the ludicrous way this story is presented. In the Torra Borra, or Afghanistan Stark makes this robot suit and storms his way out of captivity. He then returns home blah blah *q* several 1 and 2 dimensional characters later and a bit of genius engineering and he has *the* suit. I just. . got bored. I tried to take my brain out, but it was as if they actually wanted me to take Mr. Jr seriously.
Gweneth Palthrow. . heavens above what a waste of her talents. The African American actor, I forget his name, really is one of the better actors in this.
I won't draw this out, but I'm getting tired of these FX movies with flimsy stories and transparent characters.
I look forward to The Dark Knight.
