They have relationships that seem fully-formed and resilient enough to last through the whole movie, even if plot mechanics were not about to take them to another level. Much of that feeling is created by the chemistry involving Downey, Paltrow and Bridges. They seem to have worked together for awhile. They don't feel drummed up for the occasion. Consider the characters of Pepper Potts ( Gwyneth Paltrow), Stark's loyal aide, and Obadiah Stane ( Jeff Bridges), Stark's business partner. You get the feeling, for example, of a functioning corporation. With "Iron Man," you get a glimpse into the depths. With many superhero movies, all you get is the surface of the illusion. Yes, I knew I was looking at sets and special effects-but I'm referring to the reality of the illusion, if that make any sense.
