This was a pretty good movie for Robert Downey, Jr. who is a very good actor. I think everyone who likes Marvel Comics should go see it. Terrance Howard was very good as a staunch Military Man. It was nice seeing Jeff Bridges again even though he looked funny without hair and a beard. Gwyneth Paltrow was fair, but not bad. She looks good as usual. Iron Man will most likely be in the lead for the summer movies this year.
Although Keanu Reeves and Forest Whitaker were excellent, this movie was a bloody masacre and nothing more. I thought it was very interesting to watch Reeves in this very unusual role for him. He normally plays a more peaceful character (with plenty of action sometimes), but never this gritty. Even Chris Evans has matured a lot and was quite good as a distant sidekick to Reeves. Whitaker was nothing less than outstanding. The movie was simply too violent. Be cautious of this fact before you go see it.
Not only was this movie sorry, but I am sorry I wasted my hard earned money on it! The acting on the part of George Clooney and Renee Zellweger was not bad, but the movie was a total waste of time and very boring. DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY ON THIS MOVIE! I would not even rent it.
This was a pretty good movie, but not stellar. Kevin Spacey is such a powerful actor that we always try to see his movies when they come to the theater. He does not act much anymore, so it is a real treat to see him on the big screen. If you are not interested in Las Vegas and the whole gambling thing, then you might not like this movie. Laurence Fishburne is also very good as the casino 'thug'. The main stars are the college kids who do the actual work at the casino tables. Go see it. You won't be too disappointed.
