Well, I found myself pleasantly surprised at the end of this 2+ hour extravaganza from the former Mr. Madonna. Robert Downey Jr. continues to manage to insert sarcastic humor into roles that it would not seemingly be appropriate, yet, does so in a manner that still allows the viewer to take him seriously. Jude Law manages to play a second to Downey, yet stands on his own as well. The action is powerful, but does not take over the film. While the story was less than 'original' it certainly contained enough substance to keep the viewer interested in the outcome. Bravo, looking forward to the sequel!
