I had decided I wasn't going to fall in love with this movie because of all the hype. I found that I really did like it because of its unpredictability. Just when I thought THIS was going to happen, THAT happened. Good going, writers! As a teen of the 80s, I loved watching Robert Downey, Jr. in this role, which seemed suited for him. Terrence Howard played Downey's best friend and a military officer (how convenient...) and I understand Paramount/Marvel has not asked him to reprise his role for the sequel - Shame on you! As for the sort of love interest, Gweyneth Paltrow's role was milquetoast - a yawner. The scene stealer was the almost unrecognizable Jeff Bridges as the villain. Please rent this movie. It's really a good story (but not PC) and you'll need to see it to watch the sequel...
