Editorial Review:
Amazon.com: Suit up for action with Robert Downey Jr. in the ultimate adventure movie you’ve been waiting for, Iron Man! When jet-setting genius-industrialist Tony Stark is captured in enemy territory, he builds a high-tech suit of armor to escape. Now, he’s on a mission to save the world as a hero who’s built, not born, to be unlike any other. Co-starring Gwyneth Paltrow, Terrence Howard and Jeff Bridges, it’s a fantastic, high-flying journey that is "hugely entertaining" (Joe Morgenstern, The Wall Street Journal).
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

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.

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.

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.

I've been a big fan of the Iron Man comic book series for such a long time and from the "Tales of Suspense" comic books, as a young child, I would always be into the "Avengers" and even be this happy child with his "Secret Wars" Iron Man toy.
Years before "IRON MAN" became a movie, I've always pictured Robert Downey Jr. as Iron Man. He had the look and even back then with Downey Jr.'s personal life, there is some instances that mirror Tony Stark's challenges in the comic books. So, suffice to say that I was quite happy with him being cast for the film.
As for the the film, I had no doubt in my mind that "IRON MAN" would be a blockbuster hit in the Summer but I purposely waited for it to come out on DVD, so I can watch it on my own personal home theater and watch it with no distractions.
This film focuses on Tony Stark, the millionaire who runs Stark Industries which creates weapons for the military but while on a meeting to the Middle East, Stark's military escort are gun down and eventually the suave millionaire gets caught in a blast (from weapons created by his company), next thing you know, Stark is being operated on and being held by prisoner by terrorists.
While under captivity, Stark creates his first Iron Man uniform and uses it to escape his captors. Upon returning back to America, Stark's perspective of the world and his company has changed. Also, his goal to develop a more technologically advanced mobile suit armor ... Read More
