Well paced and scored, but uninteresting.

You won't get bored watching Iron Man, but you won't be interested either. Except for a slow period in a cave, the movie blasts its way to a hackneyed ending. The love story has as much tension as a loose rubber band. You know it's nascent, but no one's stretching it. I grow weary of Hollywood's weak attempts to overlay a trite love interest on these kinds of films, to attract a female audience. It's as dumb as adding Iron Man action to Bridgette Jone's Diary. There are some very funny parts, especially the cameo by Stan Lee. The line "you've caught me doing worse things than this" is delivered perfectly. I laughed till it hurt. Stan Lee succeeded in making an irresponsible, billionaire, playboy into a sympathetic figure. Downey fits the role. He's funny and convincing. Overall the acting is excellent. It's all that holds the movie together. Jeff Bridges is truly amazing. The music is brilliantly done. I'm definitely buying the soundtrack.
Yes, I recommend this movie.
