I saw it, and loved it. The bad guy was selling cool US weapons to very bad guys. And when Downey/Iron Man found out and went back to an Afhani village he kicked serious butt against the bad guys – (spoiler>>) and when he dragged the VERY bad guy out into the middle of the now-freed Afghans and said basically “here he is – do what you want” and flew off – very nice in a Jack-Bauerish way.
The script itself is terrific – Downey provides a constant stream of funny, snide, sarcastic and witty comments, and is perfectly cast. Paltrow is gal enough to match him, Jeff Bridges is a terrific bad guy, and the US military is shown as honorable.
The super-showdown at the end isn’t as spectacular as one might expect, but it was personal – these two guys had history.
See it.
