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

User Comments About Iron Man (Two-Disc Special Collectors' Edition)
 
Iron Man, see it on the big screen if possible!
 

Let's not forget that Tony Stark was the original rich, womanizing, misogynistic playboy who had an epiphany steering him onto a new course in life. I didn't all of a sudden go from a hard drinking, cigar smoking playboy to a Priest, but he DID change his ways. To categorize this as a flawless performance would be difficult because movies about superhero characters lend themselves to so much broad interpretation from long time comic fans, to casual readers, to those who dismiss comics as 'kid stuff'. Most people who didn't 'get' Robert Downey's portrayal of Stark didn't ever read the original comics, or if they did, forgot much of what they read. After all, this is a review of Iron Man. Furthermore, don't get me started on why foul language/moderately graphic violence or other behaviors are allowed and tolerated in most big budget Hollywood films that ARE aimed at children. This made the action sequences more enjoyable, and highlighted the acting prowess of the great cast (how'd they get Gwyeneth Paltrow to sign on at Potts.). I'm glad that the movie wasn't action top to bottom.

I for one look forward to IM 2, but I'm less anticipatory of the Avengers.I mean look at the X-Men franchise. At it's heart, IM was a great movie that happened to be about a superhero. To respond to that reviewer, the film was rated PG-13, not G or even PG. There has been at least one review that highlighted some of the sexual scenes in the film. This was portrayed by Downey almost flawlessly.



EXHILERATING!
 

Iron Man breathes new life into the Marvel movie universe.While most marvel movies nowadays involve some young hero out trying to find himself while trying to save the city at the same time,Iron man takes a more sophisticated and more adult approach.While there is a considerable amount of time dedicated to Tony Starks's Ingenuity i.e. building suit prototypes,weapons aand ect, good filmaking and an excellent script make this a rather enjoyable process.Any doubts about Robert Downey's acting are put to rest by this movie,as this by far is one of the strongest performances of the year.Very suprising was the lack of sexual content and graphic violence which usually defines movies as "good" nowadays.Iron Man is a rare breed of action film in many respects,a lack of pointless and graphic material ensures that anyone in the family can enjoy this film and a good script and plot round out any beliefs about this film being yet another hormone driven teenage flop.



Excellent movie was more that I thought it would be
 

In conclusion, I would highly recommend this movie, particularly to those who enjoy intelligent characters, action, sci-fi and good vs. I would also mention that Robert Downey Jr. It was so refreshing to watch someone with great intelligence problem solve during "impossible situations". In fact, I'm really looking forward to the next Iron Man movie (the plot totally calls for it so I'd guess it will happen).

Although the movie dragged a bit at some points, it became so interesting that I wanted it to keep going. Also, although he starts out as a rebel with a bad streak, he experiences a major transformation and the audience gets to watch his character develop in a way that I found to be meaningful. evil.

The hero was intelligent. I've always considered him to be one of the greatest actors of our time, and he did not disappoint. Of course Gweneth Paltrow did an excellent job as well.

Of course there were tremendous action scenes, and very evil villains, but the hero was different. I was surprised to find that this was not just another formula super hero movie. was outstanding.



You've got to have heart, Tony Stark does/did/does
 

I am pretty sure future versions will add more insight or at least more footage. Tron (20th Anniversary Collector's Edition). The Ultimate Matrix Collection [Blu-ray] Well as luck would have it, in Starks efforts to escape he invents the fundamental technology for, you guessed it, Ironman. For people that are more music orientated, among the popular background songs they included the original theme from the animated series. For those enthralled in the Ironman comics, nothing has changed; except maybe the storyline. In the process he inadvertently gives the world a new weapon.

How can he correct his faux pax. Only saw the Blu-Ray version. Well maybe a tad more gratuities sex. Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow (Widescreen Special Collector's Edition). It has all the formula and characters for today's super hero movies.

O.K. O.K the era in which how superhero exists. In his quest for the answers he solicits the help of his very efficient and devoted assistant Pepper Potts (Gwyneth Paltrow).

military/industrial weapons mogul just finished demonstrating his newest rocket in the Middle East, when he is purloined by ruthless locals with dirty faces and a penchant for power. Of course everyone knows it is the last person you would suspect as in any good mystery. By not making it a period piece we get to incorporate all the latest technology and social attitudes.

Had the standard extras and flexibility. Who could be behind the dastardly deed. Tony Stark (Robert Downey Jr).

I guess I could go on for a few more paragraphs but you get the picture that we can not rely on the comic book character to be anymore than an inspiration for this movie.



The Marvel Man-Machine
 

With a neat twist to the comic book top gun, Robert Downey Jr. portrays industrialist Tony Stark, who creates the power armor that ultimately becomes the Iron Man power suit while being held captive by terrorists. The plot then takes a roller-coaster ride of betrayal, redemption and avenging the death of his fellow captive, while building up to something called the "Avenger Initiative". Stark is assisted in the task by the ill-fated captive Dr. The 2-disc Blu-ray edition is an outstanding way to start on the adventure or to see it again.for the very first time. This character may become a surprising franchise in the crowded marketplace of super heroes in the contemporary settings of war and politics. In summers that are now filled with super heroes vying for cinematic dollars, Iron Man climbs to the top of the mountain, with the human side of the story not being overwhelmed by high-tech gadgetry. Yinsen (Shaun Toub).
