Robert Downey Jr. in ''Iron Man''

'Iron Man' (PG-13)

Few actors in the recent spate of superhero blockbusters have owned their roles in the way Robert Downey Jr. owns the part of Tony Stark, aka Iron Man. As the multi-millionaire weapons-developer-turned-armored-freedom-fighter, the 43-year-old actor single handedly elevates this B-list hero to A-list status. Downey is so good, the movie itself can't help but suffer every time he's off screen, which fortunately isn't very often. Directed by Jon Favreau, "Iron Man" is a straightforward origin story that efficiently outlines who "Iron Man" is and how he came to be. After he's kidnapped by Islamic terrorists following a weapons demonstration in Afghanistan, Stark builds himself a suit of armor to escape and, once he's back stateside, turns that prototype into a gleaming weapon of mass destruction (albeit for the good guys). In between the action scenes, Stark finds time to flirt with long-suffering assistant Pepper Potts (Gwyneth Paltrow) and bumping fists with Air Force buddy Jim Rhodes (Terrence Howard). Two hours, 6 min.

'Made of Honor' (PG-13)

It's been 11 years since "My Best Friend's Wedding" became a box-office hit, and to celebrate that anniversary, Sony has remade the film with Patrick Dempsey in the Julia Roberts part. Well, OK, "Made of Honor" isn't an official remake of "Wedding," but it really is the exact same film. Just listen to the premise: A serial dater named Tom (Dempsey) agrees to be the maid of honor for best friend Hannah (Michelle Monaghan) and is soon shocked to discover that his feelings for her go beyond friendship. As Hannah's wedding draws closer, Tom has to find a way to break up her engagement and sweep her off her feet. The only thing missing from the mix is Rupert Everett -- maybe he'll turn up in a Sean Connery-style secret cameo as the movie ends. One hour, 41 min.
