Decent

Rating: 10/10 (8 May 2008)

I went to this movie with low expectations, which were fulfilled as I viewed this movie. Robert Downey Jr. does a relatively good job of portraying Tony Stark. The CGI was very well done. Aside from that, the movie didn't have much else to offer. They chose to use Jeff Bridges as the primary antagonist, which didn't work out too well for me. I mean come on, he was "The Dude" in the Big Lebowski. It was a bit hard to take him seriously after I heard him speak. Another thing that bothered me was the fact that it had to be about weapons in Afghanistcan. Personally, I am tired of all that business going on overseas and I don't want to see anymore of that dribble. The plot of the movie was poorly done and loosely thrown together. The movie lacked action and the final fight scene is "meh," to say the least. If you are a fan of thrown together super hero movies, then I recommend this film. If not, then you might want to save your money for the new Indiana Jones or The Dark Knight.
