Saw Iron Man last night.
Now I like Robert Downey, Jr., and he was solid as the modern-day Oscar Wilde-ish billionaire playboy Tony Stark, but it was the presence of Jeff Bridges as the heavy that convinced me to go see this movie. Bridges did not disappoint. His portrayal of Obadiah Stane, Stark's nemesis, was excellent...full of smarm, fake camaraderie, and bluster.
I was surprised to see Gwyneth Paltrow cast as Stark's assistant and potential love interest, though. But she did a credible job as well.
Overall, I liked it. I give it 3.5 out of 4 Vitamin-Enriched Xanax, on the Manic Indolence Scale. Perfect escape-from-reality movie.
