Was this fun to watch? Sure. Was it as good as the original? Not even close. Everyone was trying too hard in this one, and readers of the comic books will cringe a bit as the story goes along. Downey ... | |

This looked might it might have been fun, but it's off to kind of a flat start and the two main characters seem a little bit short on the chemistry needed to pull off their projected personas. It's de ... | |

It was ok, but there was nothing really "new" in it, and the "twist" was foreseeable right out of the gate. Nothing more than average for me, but watchable. I'd give it a C+ | |
