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

Great Movie November 18, 2008
This movie is great! I am looking forward to the next one. I hear that Robert Downey, Jr. has already signed to do it.

It's Iron Man! It Rocks! November 18, 2008
I found this to be entertaining. It is a little violent at times, so I wouldn't recommend it to children, even though they have marketed it to them with a Zillion Toys! I liked it better than Fantastic 4 part 2, and Spiderman 2 and 3.

Great movie! November 18, 2008
Given the spate of disappointing superhero movies over the years, I wasn't terribly excited about "Iron Man." I probably would never have watched it if my wife hadn't wanted to rent it. I'm glad she did, or else I would have missed a fun and entertaining movie.

Robert Downey Jr. really made this movie shine. It's a measure of the writing and direction that film could have succeeded with a different actor as Tony Stark. But Downey really took the reins and put an indelible mark on the character all his own. He completely owned every scene he was in.

"Iron Man" successfully walked the fine line of taking itself seriously enough that you actually care about what happens without becoming so serious that the whole movie collapses under its own weight. Favreau and Downey deserve equal credit for that. And Favreau does a great job of keeping "Iron Man" moving. Who would have thought back in the day of "Swingers" that Favreau would become a big-time A-list director? Hollywood often fails to notice talent, so it's great to see him succeed.

The Blu-Ray transfer is excellent, and the special features are enjoyable. Perhaps the most special feature is after the end credits, a la Ferris Bueller; be sure to watch until the very end!

I highly recommend this movie to fans of action movies, superhero films, SF movies, or anyone who just plain enjoys a good movie.

Realistic Hero November 17, 2008
Ironman is right up there with the other heroes. Yet he seems closer to being human than the others. Maybe it's his clumsiness? Whatever the case Robert Downey Jr. did a great job. Now for the movie....yes its funny and something for the entire family but could use a little more depth. Afterall Spidey and Batman have some serious issues brewing (criterion/prerequisite for being a superhero). Perhaps we could see that in Ironman 2? Sometimes you have to run before you can walk...what a riot.

Great for everyone November 17, 2008
As a diehard comic collector (specifically Marvel titles), I am always apprehensive about movies based on superheros. But with Iron Man, they got it almost perfect. Even my wife, who doesn't necessarily like superhero movies, thoroughly enjoyed this one. Great job Marvel! Now if only you could acquire Spider-Man and do it justice for the next few installments! Can't wait for the Avengers! How about a Moon Knight movie?
