A lovely mini-film in every way. It brings back Kingsley's delightful performance from "Iron Man 3", remedies the (justifiable) fan disappointment at the film's use of the iconic Mandarin, and fixes the seeming plot contradictions that film had with "Iron Man 1" and thereby bringing the trilogy together in a very satisfying way. It even ties "Iron Man 2" back into it with its post-credits scenes, making this little film a loving and entertaining addition to entire the franchise. Its sole show more flaw in my opinion is its likelihood of leaving an unresolved plotline hanging for decades to come, but this doesn't really detract anything from the film. show less

C+ (Okay).

A stuntman looks for a missing actor.

The action is a lot of fun, but the story has major pacing problems. It needed to be 25 minutes shorter.

(Sep. 2024)

2024 movie #86. 2024. 18 months after being seriously injured in a stunt gone bad, Cole (Gosling) finds himself working in his ex-girlfriend's (Blunt) blockbuster movie. Long on great stunts and short on CGI, this was a lot of fun. Loosely based on the 1981 Lee Majors TV show.

A hotel is a hospital for criminals.

2.5/4 (Okay).

It has atmosphere, and some fun dialog here and there.
