:: IRON MAN
Rotten Tomatoes: 95 / 100
Metacritic: 80 / 100
filmcritic.com: 3.5 / 5
Near invincible. An impressive, energetic, stylish way to kick off the summer. People really dig Robert Downey, Jr. The phrase “best superhero movie ever” is being liberally kicked around.
:: MADE OF HONOR
Rotten Tomatoes: 9 / 100
Metacritic: 41 / 100
filmcritic.com: 2 / 5
Predictable, formulaic, cliched. It’s making most viewers long for My Best Friend’s Wedding instead. Didn’t you just wanna rent 27 Dresses or Enchanted, for God’s sake?
:: REDBELT
Rotten Tomatoes: 69 / 100
filmcritic.com: 4 / 5
David Mamet aims to mix his intellectual mindplay and rough-guy martial arts — and most feel it doesn’t always work.

Great summary.
“Best superhero movie ever?” How many times have we heard that? I guess they keep getting better and better.

Yes, there are many critics who get off on offering a good (bullshit) blurb. Hey, it gets their name in the paper! This time, the reviewers are almost unanimous that Iron Man is really the genuine article.
