Iron Man

My review is on the movie itself, rather than the DVD itself. I borrowed from a friend to watch it, and I was NOT disappointed. While I don't collect Iron Man comic books, I do know of the story. While parts had to be changed for the movie, it was not at all disappointing.

I enjoyed the movie greatly and its characters and story development (and the acting by Robert Downey Jr. was awesome!). Even a die-hard Iron Man fan should not be disappointed in this movie.

My favorite part of the movie was when he flew to the Middle East in his new suit, and dealt with the terrorists while saving the civilians, and then leaving the leader of the terrorists to the villagers to do with what they wanted. Sweet justice, indeed!

Was better in the theater - but this is awesome! i had my doubts about Robt Downey Jr as a 'superhero', but he was PERFECT! Beginning grabs your attention and remains very interesting! Cant wait for the sequel!

Truly awesome! Robert Downey Jr.'s performance was stellar. They also left an open door for sequels. I want one of those suits!!

After sitting through some rather lackluster Marvel adaptations, such as the overrated "Spider-man" and "X-Men" films, I sat to watch "Iron Man" with cautious optimism. And it proved to be worthwhile. This is, without a doubt, the best adaptation of a Marvel comic book character to date. Dispensing with over-serious storylines, such as in "Spider-man 2" and "The Hulk," the story never takes itself too seriously, bringing the fun and excitement back to the superhero movie. The storytelling, visual effects and action sequence all deliver.
And the performances? What can I say? Robert Downey, Jr. is perfectly cast as Tony Stark, the playboy/weapons seller turned superhero. His performance is truly believable and clever, and gives this superhero movie its heart. The supporting cast, including Terrence Howard, Gwyneth Paltrow and Jeff Bridges, plus a cameo appearance by Samuel L. Jackson as Nick Fury, add to the film's richness. After what seemed like an eternity, a Marvel superhero film truly delivers! If you enjoy superhero films, then "Iron Man" will blow you away!
Movie/DVD Grade: A+

ONE OF THE BEST MOVIES OF THE YEAR. ROBERT DOWNEY JR IS AN AWESOME ACTOR AND THE ACTION IN THIS MOVIE IS INCREDIBLE ALONG WITH JEFF BRIDGES WHO DOES A SUPER JOB AS THE BAD GUY. GWYNETH PALTROW IS AWESOME TOO. I LOVE THIS MOVIE. WE WATCH IT ALL THE TIME.
