Entertaining, Downey is a treat to watch.

Rating: 7/10 (5 May 2008)

As other people have already said, when I first discovered that Downey was in the role of Stark, I thought to myself, "What the hell are they thinking?" Now I'll admit that I was very wrong. He is a treat to watch in this movie. He did a great job making the character his own and I'm looking forward to the next two sequels. Paltrow was believable and had great dialogue with Downey. The banter between them was fun to listen to. I also enjoyed the playful dialogue between Downey and his workshop robot as he was building the next gen armor. Action scenes were good. I wish they had done another scene with him getting used to the next gen armor. The final battle with Obadiah was OK. But I think it could have been better. All in all it was entertaining to watch and better than expected.
