Worth it for Robert Downey Jnr alone.

RDJ is the best lead in a comic book movie
since Christopher Reeve, imo. Nailed it perfectly.

I just really enjoy him in films.
He's like Sean Connery in that respect, if he's in it I'll generally watch it and enjoy it.

Hold up a minute, hold up one gosh darn minute here.
Doesn't Iron Man represent everything you dispise and hate about humanity?

I mean, let's think about it.
1) Tony Stark is only rich because of his Dad's company.
2) His Dad's company is a weapons manufacturer
3) Tony continues on that legacy and is seen selling to the US Military who used iligally sanctioned weapons (such as the indiscrimnate bombing thing in the first film before he gets kidnapped)
4) Tony reguarly flaunts his money and distroys property (both public and not), granted, in the name of saving lives.... but with no upcommance.
5) Blatent tax avoidance by making his son the director of the company before the passing away.
6) Using company money, publicily floated funds (as per the investors) for personal gain.

I'm sure there is more, but he is basicly the definition of capitalism.
