Top Critics Reviews
fresh:
Rourke puts a human face, albeit a bashed one, on comic book villainy.

fresh:
It's enjoyable to see a quality superhero dynamically and enthusiastically rendered.

The best scenes are still the ones with Downey and Gwyneth Paltrow (as Stark's charm-resistant assistant, Pepper Potts), or just Downey alone. The rest feels like padding, which is something a sleek-suited superhero shouldn't need.

The whiz-bang stuff here -- while never less than slick -- doesn't produce anything we haven't seen before.

As for the actual grand finale, Downey Jr. and Cheadle seem like they're already network gaming the PS3 release instead of facing any actual threat, and Rourke goes out like a chump.
