How can it be.
Tell me.
You that can be so discerning about, 99% of the time, can like such a trash.
It remains a mystery to me.

I'll take that!
I am unapologetic. ;-)
Not so mysterious either - I am not you.
Call it a guilty pleasure. The primary source of pleasure in this one is Downey, plus Paltrow. Stark is a good role for Downey and he works it.
Other movies in this category would be The Hidden and The Faculty, which I also enjoyed. I don't necessarily look down on genre movies. Not all popcorn flicks are bad. They are like candy bars, a small pleasure and not bad for you in limited quantities. That doesn't mean, BTW, that I will ever buy Iron Man on DVD. (I have the special edition of The Hidden!) But I quite enjoy some sci-fi, horror whatever.
That doesn't mean I think they're great films just because they amused me for 120 minutes.
Seeing poor Junior and Miss P. glaring at blue screens let me always pity the infortunate actors but only to remember me how many millions they get for it, the thinking was smoothing.
Now some can be make acceptable pop corn movies, think of Men in Black, Ghostbusters, and a few of them.
Then Alien are all more or less viewable.
But don´t you like LotR.....
