Review of Iron Man (2008) by Roger Ebert for Chicago Sun-Times — 10 Apr 2017
You hire an actor for his strengths, and Downey would not be strong as a one-dimensional mighty-man. He is strong because he is smart, quick and funny, and because we sense his public persona masks deep private wounds.
By building on that, Favreau found his movie, and it's a good one.
