Downey is really great here.  He&#8217;s a stronger character as an actor and so much more entertaining than, say, Spiderman.  Christian Bale brought a lot of grimness to Batman but Downey is very funny, lively and self deprecating.  Really uses his wise ass attitude so well here, and it makes the idea of a superhero movie so much cooler.  His and Paltrow&#8217;s characters attraction feels very real, even though it&#8217;s an under the table sort and they dance around it.  Jeff Bridges was good too.<\/p>\n<p><u>MomReaction:<\/u>  There&#8217;s a really topical social edge to this movie about collateral damage and what you do to the world, what weapons do to the world.
