A perfect summary of cinematographic clichés

Rating: 4/10 (25 August 2012)

I honestly don't understand why such an endless parade of cinematographic clichés is being hailed as one of the best movies of all time. Evil villain trying to conquer the planet? Check. Hot clever chick in tight clothes? Check. Battle in Manhattan? Check. And I can go on, from dialogue, to set dressing, alien design, blockbuster action clichés...
Nothing in this movie triggered me whatsoever, except maybe Robert Downey Jr.'s performance.
Nice bubblegum-popcorn action flick for a rainy Sunday, and maybe something for comic book fans. For all other occasions: Yawn.
