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

 AWESOME November 21, 2008
the movie itself was awesome--good acting, nice storyline, super graphic scenes...and the graphics on bluray makes it SO MUCH BETTER! theres truly a difference with bluray VS reg. DVD's. just totally worth it!!
iron man movie November 20, 2008

Better than Expected Movie!! November 19, 2008
Fun, engaging, movie with good acting by all cast members. Nice special effects and good storyline. The length of the movie was perfect... Not too long nor too short.
This movie isn't just geared for kids either, but also great for adults too. I am glad that both adults and kids may enjoy watching this film.
Great Buy November 19, 2008
This is one of those Blu-Ray movies you should have in your collection. The movie looks like it did when i saw it in theaters. The BD Live features are kind of cool, especially if it's your first BD Live title, but it shouldn't be the primary reason to buy this movie.
 Free Shipping or pay not to delay order November 19, 2008

When you pay for shipping at Amazon what you are really doing is paying them not to delay your order. If you use their "free shipping" they will hold the order for ~7 days before shipping it out. Does this make any sense to anyone out there? Amazon really needs to go back to Customer Service 101.
