An 8.0 for this movie? Please, lets stay serious! I'm so tired of this superhero-stuff. We've seen this all before (Batman begins) and we seen it better, so where's something worth mentioning to rate this movie higher than very average? There was no sophisticated storytelling, no extraordinary action, even no acting that was more than schematic. It's so black and white. No one seemed to invest more than an evening in the plot to make it half-way intelligent. Jeff Bridges - hum, he should have stayed at the grand piano, Gwyneth Paltrow - she acts like ever, namely she doesn't act at all, only Robert Downey jr. gives at least a face and he sometimes acts like Tony Stark might feel. And the special effects? Just Bang-Boom-Bang, to name it with another movie title. With this film one should deal like with the weapons of Stark Industries: Fire and forget, in other words: Watch it and forget it.
