I saw SMH on a plane and forgot all about it except that good old RDJ looked very bored in it. VENOMI saw on the small screen and, while being a derivative story, it has some things going for it. Like a powerhouse lead performance and some grotesquely absurd stuff, like those babbling body snatchers biting heads off of people. In a sea of same-y mainstream movies it was at least entertainingly different. Would watch it again some day. RDJ has not acted in an mcu movie since iron man 1. its a shame really since this is where he fails compared to Hugh wolverine who is now just as iconic as Christopher Reeves Superman. mcu had the opportunity to make Iron Man a true iconic character, a character who has been on this journey, who grew and developed but nope. once they saw him as their best cash cow they just dumbed him down and rdj has since been then be phoning in performances though I dont blame him since it is not like he has a good material to work with. I think Hugh Jackman's Wolverine and RDJ's Iron Man are far more iconic than Christopher Reeves Superman. As iconic as he is.. we've accepted plenty of people as Superman and will continue to do so because the character transcends the man. But I think we're going to have a pretty hard time ever accepting anybody else as Logan or Stark. Jackman and Downey own those roles. The X-Verse and the MCU were built on their backs. They simply are Wolverine and Iron Man.
