Product Description
Bluray Disc

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

 Good Movie. Near Perfect Adaptation. October 30, 2009
W. Hafner (Michigan)
I enjoy this film every time I watch it. There was a lot of hype going into Iron Man, and the film satisfied nearly everyone. The action is just enough to please, and to leave the viewer wanting more. The film's pace is brisk and there is nearly no downtime. Downey Jr. perfectly portrays Tony Stark, an immature billionair turned empathetic hero. Jeff Bridges rarely plays a villain, but turns out a believable performance that is a good counterpart to Downey's character. Terrance Howard has a somewhat minor role, but Howard pulls it off greatly; it is too bad that he was replaced for the sequal. Paltrow's take as Stark's assistant is the heart of the film. I hope the sequal is just as good.
 SENSATIONAL October 26, 2009
Tony Cruz
This is an incredible movie. Robert Downey played the role extremely well. I enjoyed every part. The action is surreal. Total thumbs up.
 Stick with DVDs October 26, 2009
Deen Reviews (Brooklyn, New York United States)
After recently upgrading both my DVD players (a Samsung 1500 and a Pioneer BDP51) this disc will no longer play. Interestingly not only will it not play, the Pioneer can't even identify it (unknown disc error). Having invested in an HD home theater system I have to admit to being less than impressed with blu-ray. Monthly firmware updates leading to a decreasing number of playable discs - sounds like a great system. I'll stick with upsampling my DVDs.
Nothing extra special October 23, 2009
Drew K. (Hollywood, Fl)
If you liked the movie, then get this.
Didn't fin anything extra special on the features.
Become an engineer and build your own Iron Man ! October 13, 2009
Miguel A. Siu
This is an incredible entertainment but what really sets it apart is that showcases technology that will someday be possible. There are companies right now [name deleted] that are working on systems that extend human ability beyond what our bones and muscle are designed to do. Soldiers in the future (or superheroes) will be able to lift hundreds of lbs. and run at superhuman speeds. Will they fly? This movie shows us that it's possible !!
Get your kids and your friends interested in math, science and technology. You won't believe the places it will take you. Whether flying in a suit or flying beyond our own planet (Iron Man 2?) the sky is the limit.
