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.
