  • Editorial Review:
    Suit up for action with Robert Downey Jr. in the ultimate adventure movie you’ve been waiting for, Iron Man! When jet-setting genius-industrialist Tony Stark is captured in enemy territory, he builds a high-tech suit of armor to escape. Now, he’s on a mission to save the world as a hero who’s built, not born, to be unlike any other. Co-starring Gwyneth Paltrow, Terrence Howard and Jeff Bridges, it’s a fantastic, high-flying journey that is "hugely entertaining" (Joe Morgenstern, The Wall Street Journal).

    Description of Iron Man (Two-Disc Special Collectors' Edition):
    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

    On the DVD
    A fat collection of Special Features bulks up the Iron Man experience. The heftiest is I Am Iron Man, a feature-length behind-the-scenes doc that exhaustively covers the making of the movie, with full access to director Jon Favreau and the cast and crew. A half-hour look at the visual effects will satisfy gearheads (the legendary Stan Winston weighs in, shortly before he died), and a thorough chronicle of the comic-book Iron Man provides the character's print history, with Stan Lee noting that the comic brought in more fan mail from women than any other Marvel title. Scenes from Robert Downey, Jr.'s screen test are fun, and a rehearsal with Downey, Favreau, and Jeff Bridges working out a tense scene is a tantalizing look at collaboration. A selection of deleted and extended scenes reveals no special gems, but confirms the editorial judgment. The cherry on top is a splendid Onion parody news bulletin, purporting to report that the awesome Iron Man trailer that everybody loved is now about to be expanded into an actual full-length film--but fans are skeptical they'll ruin it. --Robert Horton

    Iron Man (Two-Disc Special Collectors' Edition) Reviews:
    Good Movie. Near Perfect Adaptation. 4 Star Review
    2009-10-30 - I enjoy this film every time I watch it. There was a lot of hype going into Iron Man, and the film satisfied nearly everyone. The action is just enough to please, and to leave the viewer wanting more. The film's pace is brisk and there is nearly no downtime. Downey Jr. perfectly portrays Tony Stark, an immature billionair turned empathetic hero. Jeff Bridges rarely plays a villain, but turns out a believable performance that is a good counterpart to Downey's character. Terrance Howard has a somewhat minor role, but Howard pulls it off greatly; it is too bad that he was replaced for the sequal. Paltrow's take as Stark's assistant is the heart of the film. I hope the sequal is just as good.

    SENSATIONAL 5 Star Review
    2009-10-26 - This is an incredible movie. Robert Downey played the role extremely well. I enjoyed every part. The action is surreal. Total thumbs up.

    Stick with DVDs 1 Star Review
    2009-10-26 - After recently upgrading both my DVD players (a Samsung 1500 and a Pioneer BDP51) this disc will no longer play. Interestingly not only will it not play, the Pioneer can't even identify it (unknown disc error). Having invested in an HD home theater system I have to admit to being less than impressed with blu-ray. Monthly firmware updates leading to a decreasing number of playable discs - sounds like a great system. I'll stick with upsampling my DVDs.

    Nothing extra special 5 Star Review
    2009-10-23 - If you liked the movie, then get this.
    Didn't fin anything extra special on the features.

    Become an engineer and build your own Iron Man ! 5 Star Review
    2009-10-13 - This is an incredible entertainment but what really sets it apart is that showcases technology that will someday be possible. There are companies right now [name deleted] that are working on systems that extend human ability beyond what our bones and muscle are designed to do. Soldiers in the future (or superheroes) will be able to lift hundreds of lbs. and run at superhuman speeds. Will they fly? This movie shows us that it's possible !!

    Get your kids and your friends interested in math, science and technology. You won't believe the places it will take you. Whether flying in a suit or flying beyond our own planet (Iron Man 2?) the sky is the limit.
