Judging from the previews it looks really cheesy and stupid, what did you guys like about it?
Clever dialouge ("Sorry, I had to do a piece for Vanity Faire"), gnarly action sequences (final battle!), ridiculous premise that could only happen in a comic, story wasn't bogged down with pointless side plots and cliches..
T'was a good one, and tides me over nicely till Batman.
Everything. I wasn't expecting it to be great, but it was. Downey is perfect as the playboy billionaire. There is a lot more comedy than I expected and it stayed pretty true to the comics (at least the limited amount that I read back in the day).
