You all have encouraged me to see "Iron Man". All of the reviews I've read gave it excellent reviews, including Downey's performance. He's a damn good actor. I loved the documentary he did years ago about the national convention.
Now, I haven't seen "Unbreakable" and doubt I will, because I think Willis is a hack along the lines of Kevin Costner. I refuse to watch movies with either of them in it, because their characters always seem so recycled and formulaic. Closed minded? Yep.
I was reading Salon's review of "Hancock" and it was generally favorable except that the reviewer stated Smith seemed to stretch his limits as an actor. But that only piques my interest, because I want to see a guy with superpowers who just doesn't give a fuck - until he meets his friend's wife (Charlize Theron - a great actor in her own right).
