'Iron Man' has several advantages over a lot of recent efforts in the superhero genre. It features a solid cast, snappy dialogue, some pleasant surprises, expectedly impressive special effects and even a hint of subtle social commentary. But most importan...read the complete Iron Man (2008) review at efilmcritic.com (Dan Lybarger)

It’s not sure where to go once the final Iron Man suit is constructed, and seems in a rush to get there, but Downey Jr and the supporting cast are so perfectly placed we're already looking forward to the bound-to-be-better sequel....read the complete Iron Man (2008) review at Empire Magazine [UK]

Defying low expectations is a task difficult for many superhero films in the digital age, but Jon Favreau's Iron Man did just that. One would think that at some point all of the classic Marvel characters will have been expended in their adaptations to...read the complete Iron Man (2008) review at Filmtracks (Christian Clemmensen)

The action sequences were awesome, and it was difficult to distinguish the practical suits from the CGI. I loved the way they made Iron Man fly, with slow, gentle takeoffs and super-fast landings - and the in-air flight sequences were shot in a way that ...

This was one of those movies that was really good. The only thing I didn't like about this movie was that it took way to long for him to discover the ironman. About 70% of the movie was him discovering the iron man. Just wish it was a lot fast so ...

A must see for any Iron Man fan, it shows how he changed from self-centered and insensitive to a hero in an unstoppable powered suit, fighting against people who he used to work with to prevent further atrocities. ...

Iron Man is a surprisingly well-done superhero movie with a fantastic story, unforgettable characters, and real world meaning.
I have to admit, Iron Man is a real nerd fantasy for me. I mean, what self-respecting nerd wouldn't want to fight ...

Ok, I have to admit, I love the indulgence of watching the hero of a film be absolutely indestructible-at least for a while. It was nice watching Iron Man kick the trash out of the bad dudes, but it was short lived until he became the underdog in the ...

For some reason, it took me about six months to watch this movie. When I finally did, it was way more than I expected. RDJr isn't my favorite actor, but he was perfect for this role. Paltrow played hers well, and Jeff Bridges really surprised me. One of ...

This is one of the better superhero movies to come out in awhile. Marvel failed with the last two X-Men ...

This is an incredible movie. Robert Downey played the role extremely well. I enjoyed every part. The action is surreal. Total thumbs up. ...

This is an incredible entertainment but what really sets it apart is that showcases technology that will someday be possible. There are companies right ...

I loved this movie when I saw it in theatres and couldn't wait to get it. I bought a ps3 which opened my world to blu-ray. I own a few blu-rays and this is by far the one with the best quality picture that I own. Also the audio was great through my ...
