You know you're going to get a different kind of superhero when you cast Robert Downey Jr. in the lead role. And Iron Man is different, in welcome ways. Cleverly updated from Marvel Comics' longstanding series, Iron Man puts billionaire industrialist Tony Stark (that's Downey) in the path of some Middle Eastern terrorists; in a brilliantly paced section, Stark invents an indestructible suit that allows him to escape. If the rest of the movie never quit hits that precise rhythm again, it nevertheless offers plenty of pleasure, as the renewed Stark swears off his past as a weapons manufacturer, develops his new Iron Man suit, and puzzles both his business partner (Jeff Bridges in great form) and executive assistant (Gwyneth Paltrow). Director Jon Favreau geeks out in fun ways with the hardware, but never lets it overpower the movie, and there's always a goofy one-liner or a slapstick pratfall around to break the tension. As for Downey, he doesn't get to jitterbug around too much in his improv way, but he brings enough of his unpredictable personality to keep the thing fresh. And listen up, hardcore Marvel mavens: even if you know the Stan Lee cameo is coming, you won't be able to guess it until it's on the screen. It all builds to a splendid final scene, with a concluding line delivery by Downey that just feels absolutely right. --Robert Horton

 if you can't watch it in IMAX, see it in Blu-Ray --> however, you see it, you must watch it November 23, 2008
Movies like Iron Man restore even the most bitter critic's faith in Hollywood. This movie is the way films should be - entertaining, yet though-provoking; exciting yet educational; realistic, yet futuristic; and more importantly, well acted, well directed, and well written. Its main characters self-prophecies to have flaws, but this movie hardly has any. With superb special effects, amazing gadgets, and stunning visual effects - this movie was meant to be seen in Blu-Ray.
One of the better movies out there November 23, 2008
I'm usualy pretty pick when it comes to movies but I was unexpectedly impressed with this movie. It's an action packed movied with a good story line.
Proabaly one of the best super hero movies I've ever seen! November 22, 2008
I am IRON MAN. It's about as epic as it sounds. I didn't go in to the theater with high expectations. But, after the movie was over I was speechless. This movie has everything from comedy to action. Iron Man opens with a breathtaking view of a desert. Not bad. Then you find out that it's in Afghanistan and the warm and fuzzy feeling fades away. A military car comes into view fallowed by some rock music. Still a bit confused. That scene in the car with Dowry Jr. is probably one of the best scenes in the movie. Not for class but for comedy. And he doesn't miss a beat throughout the entire film. The director does a good job of easing you into the movie and then he hits you with an explosion. After that the movie cuts to a flash back of Tony Stark's life and what he is all about. This movie can be a little confusing at first but its work the confusion. Iron Man is warm, funny, action-packed and very visual. Whoever came up with the costume design for the suit is a genius. If you have a chance I would definitely recommend this movie. Anyone will love it.
Best Marvel Movie November 22, 2008
This has to be the best Marvel movie so far. It is like reading a well written classic novel. The movie is well structured from start to finish.
I like the way how Tony is casted into different characters in the movie. What I want to say is that the Ego, Super-Ego, etc. which are part of Tony are being played by different characters in the movie.
I have the Blu-ray 2 disc copy. The movie is great but the extra and two documentaries are kinda boring. And the BD-Live never works with my PS3.
Overall, this is a great movie.
Fantastic on a big screen November 22, 2008
I bought this movie for my friend on his birthday. We happen to have a projector in our apartment and watching it on there was amazing! The bigger the screen you have the better the action. Downey Jr. cannot be beat. This movie blew everyone away. Most people thought it would be like every other comic movie, but this one actually has a good plot and good actors.
