Iron Man

For me this film works for one reason:
Robert Downey Jr.
With game support by Gwynith Paltrow.
The general story is pretty familiar Marvel fare. Person has a personal epiphany and decides to use their 'gift' to save humanity, by violently attacking a well defined and available bad guy.
What makes this film enjoyable nonsense for me is the relationship between RD & GP. There is a degree of wit and restraint that I found engaging.
On the downside: I believe they should NOT have used Afghanistan as a backdrop for this cartoon. That is a truly terrible and tragic mess that we have done much to create, and now have our troops out there spilling blood on our behalf - not something to mix up with pretty mindless, if entertaining, pap.
