Incredible Ironman! - By: C. Kershaw, 02 Dec 2008 
I didnt see this film at the cinema. It past me by & I went to see The Dark Knight instead.
But what a mistake I made! Its an awesome film!
Perfectly cast is Robert Downey Jnr, who gets capturedin the Middle East & forced at gunpoint to recreate one of his own companys defence missles. However, with the help of a fellow captive, he creates a metal armoured-suit & blasts his way out of his prision. Backin America, under the watchful eye of his boss & PA, he decides to re-create his design for defense purposes. But is his boss all who he seems to be?
A fun packed frolic with incredible special effects & a great script.
The blu ray quality is the best ive seen & gives you lots of extras also.
A very good moviein a very good package. Enjoy!
Detailed and involving ... - By: P. White, 21 Nov 2008 
I greatly enjoyed this film & it was a delight to watch an escapist SF/Superhero story that was presented to adults rather than 12 year olds. The detailin the sets & SFX combined with the plausible(ish) story & excellent acting makes for a satisfying experience. The blu-ray is very good & includes a full disc worth of extras, allin HD, that are actually worth watching. It's refreshing to see concept art presentedin 1080 for example because it's possible to appreciate the artwork rather than just the concept (if you see what I mean).
So, good story, good production, good acting, good transfer, good extras.
Great entertainment - By: chuckles, 07 Nov 2008 As a fan of superhero movies, I have been a happy man recently. The quality of these movies has increased massively over the past few years. The Dark Knight, Spiderman & Hulk movies are great improvements on previous efforts.... can Iron Man keep up... OH YES! Watched this last night on my brand new 1080p TV & was blown away with the picture quality... amazing. Then you have the film itself. Sets up the character brilliantly, I really like Stark the playboy, & you are really convinced with his epiphany. With good performances from all the actors, great special effects & CGI that is not obvious, this made for a very entertaining 2 hours. Even sets you up for an exciting sequel..... a must buy for super hero movie fans, especially on Blu Ray
The perfect blockbuster... - By: Alex C. Anderson, 03 Nov 2008 and the perfect comic book movie. Iron man had a hard job this summer a little known Marvel characterin his first movie, releasedin a summer of great comic book movies (The Dark Knight, The incredible Hulk & Hellboy 2 The Golden Army}for anyone who knows the character of Tony Stark{Iron man)I dont need to explain how great the casting of Robert Downey jnr was, he simply is tony stark, jnr has a great dryness to his humour & sarcasm that really works with this character. The rest of the cast include Jeff Bridges, Terrence Howard & gwyneth Paltrow. The plot of the movie is fairly straightforward Tony Stark ceo of weapons manufacturer Stark Industries, travels to a warzone to sell his latest creation while there he gets abducted by hostiles & during the attack is severly injured, the hostiles try to force stark to build his latest weapon for there use, Stark instead designs a suit strong enough to break him out of his prison. fairly straightforward on paper however this summer you would be hard pressed to find 2 hours of fun like this, you genuinly can sense the directors passion for this character & how much work has gone into translating this faithfully from comic book to silver screen, as is made very evident through the superb special features. if you like comic book movies or intelligent blockbusters you must have this cant recommend this enough
Great film - By: Mr. P. I. Stubbs, 31 Oct 2008 Iron Man isin my opinion the best comic book film released this year.
Downey Jnr is fantastic as Tony Stark, the script is never dull or boring or overlong, the special effects are very convincing.
The Blu-ray is excellent as well, with many extras including the documentary "I Am Iron Man", which is one of the most detailed behind the scenes documentaries I've seen, & the picture & sound on the film is very good.
Overall I recommend you buy this superb Blu-ray.
