Product Description
13.5x20 New Mini One Sheet Movie Poster
Amazon.com
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

 Ironman bd November 23, 2008
This is a great action packed movie. The best to be produced by Marvel Studios
 Movie is great...BUT NO DIGITAL COPY!?! November 23, 2008
I LOVE the movie and the bonus features, but I'm a bit upset that there is no digital copy for my portable devices. I think ALL BLU-RAYs should come with a digital copy!
Action, Humour, Drama and Special Effects - Perfectly Blended November 23, 2008
I thoroughly enjoyed the movie. It's one of those rare events where I felt as though someone had climbed into my head and figured out what I'd like. The special effects never get in the way. You kind of only know they are there because, well, we know we can't do some of that incredible stuff in real life today - not yet anyway.
When I heard Robert Downey Jr. was playing the lead part, I had my doubts, but I now stand convinced he was/is the right guy for the role.
I hope though that the criminals in the next installment have higher IQs than those in this one. At the beginning when Tony Stark was captured and locked in the cave, why would they place him in a room full of weapons to make weapons, not put men in the room to supervise him directly and not expect him to use all that technology to break out? After all, he is a well reknown genius.
Nevertheless, this movie is definitely watchable and re-watchable. Jeff Bridges worked well in the movie too, though I couldn't help thinking he was playing Kris Kristofferson playing the role of Obadiah.
All said, it is, in a word, fantastic.
Another awesome comic book movie November 23, 2008
These Marvel comic movies just keep getting better. A must watch, and for a comic fans, especially, a must buy.
The greatest superhero movie ever November 23, 2008
