good tier

iron man 2?

whats wrong with it? a tad bit disappointing maybe because of unfair expectations, but still quite good and he was good in it.

all i remember from iron man 2 was the fight scene to queen's 'another one bites the dust'

still, he plays the role well of mr. stark

All the real good solid work that was built up on
IM 1 in regards to the movie and Downey s acting was completely reversed and over-glamourized (way too many characters clogging up the movie) and i thought this was widely agreed upon release of the film! Now...i know it made lot of money and all but part 1 set the standard pretty high and II didn t live up to it. Thats all im saying.

Anybody else think he was awesome in Natural Born Killers? Maybe a little too histrionic in places, but the energy and bravado with which he pulled of his role were unbelievable. Sometimes I just throw in the DVD and skip to the middle part of the movie where he comes in; he's that good in it.

Yeah, that's probably my favourite Downey Jr. role. He certainly goes very OTT in the last half hour of the film, but heck, he's all the more entertaining for it. Tommy Lee Jones was great in it as well.

Oh yeah, Tommy Lee Jones really hams it up too at the end. That whole scene after the interview where he and Downey both start arguing after the riot breaks out is just insanity.

Those scenes are easily the best thing Stone has directed.

qft

My favourite actor, he is incredible. A Game Of Shadows should be added, I believe Sherlock Holmes and Kirk Lazarus are his best characters.
