'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)

The best superhero movie since Spider-Man 2. Robert Downey Jr is the film's best special effect....read the complete Iron Man (2008) review at CHUD (Devin Faraci)

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 ...
