I'm in my 60's and went with my college aged son. I liked the movie a lot! It kind of has something for everyone. Yes, it's action packed and full of graphic animation, BUT it also has a story (WOW) and a good one. Yup it's worthy to go see for certain!
This movie FAR exceded my expectations! Yes it had special effects...Great Ones too! BUT what made all the special effects worthwhile was there was a story line that made sense, tied everything together, and the characters were fabulous....especially Robert Downey Jr. .....EXCELLENT, and Jeff Bridges.....who would have thought of Jeff Bridges as a bad guy! I didn't even recognize him until he spoke! The way Gwynith Paltrow played down her star status....just truly a terrific movie.....and I'd see it again! Watch out Steven Spielberg! This director can integrate special effects with an actual story!
