Robert Downey, Jr. was perfect and all it took was a cartoon super hero to bring him out. Jeff Bridges was great as usual. Gwyneth Paltrow was beautiful and vulnerable. The action was great, unbelievable, funny, and the whole show was a wonderful escape. Only 1 criticism. Is the only requirement to show intimacy mumbling? I realize the movies are pandering to the younger crowd but don't leave us out of the fun by mumbling as if you have a secret you don't want share with the more mature audience.
