Comments: Better than Superman Returns the movie still needs more than just an idea of a plot. One can’t count only on cool CGI and animation sequences to impress the public, though thinking about the standards of today’s audience maybe they can. No complaints against Robert Downey Jr., he played the part well and he was looking good too with more hair on his head. On the other hand Jeff Bridges’ character was very unconvincing and not interesting at all, while poor Gwyneth Paltrow was once again stuck with a two dimensional character like in the movie she did years ago with Jude Law. Terrence Howard was ok, though he could have used a better part too.

Rating: 7/10
