I guess the adage "critic's are cynic's" is true, at least in this case. We enjoyed this movie. Robert Downey, jr, as usual, did an amazing job, the CGI effects were fantastic and the storyline covers all the bases. It's not Iron Man or Avengers but it's not supposed to be. RDJ takes this story and his character and makes it his own. I recommend this movie for anyone that can watch a movie for what it is and not go in with a pessimistic view point/attitude.
