I read some negative reviews before seeing it....

Honestly, I liked it. I thought it was solid. Regarding the role change of Rhodey... Don Cheadle is the man, I think he's an awesome actor but it is a little weird to just change the actor who is playing one of your main roles... even if he did want more money. You know the movies's going to make a huge profit anyhow.

Mickey Rourke was great imo.
