Topic: Iron Man Forum: JoBlo
Just reading back through the reviews and felt I had to comment on something. While they have been thankfully few and far between, there are a few Paltrow-haters who can't seem to bury their hatchets. While most of the films she's appeared in have not impressed me, she shines in the best ones (Se7en, Royal Tennanbaums), and she shined in this one. My biggest beef with past superhero films has been that the females close to the hero have very little to reccomend themselves (save for Margot Kidder). They're either annoying, immature, or borderline incompetent. Paltrow, however, has given us someone who can stand toe-to-toe with the leading man and be just as witty/heartfelt (and when that man is RDJ, that is no easy task). The scene where she threatens to resign was one of the best she and Robert shared. As Cosmic, Shockwave, and Optimus have it absolutely right: their relationship, besides being the best-developed and most believable of any recent superhero film, gave Iron Man that extra bit of gravitas.
