Amazon.co.uk Review
You know you're going to get a different kind of superhero when you cast Robert Downey Jr. in the lead role. And iIron Man/i is different, in welcome ways. Cleverly updated from Marvel Comics' longstanding series, iIron Man/i 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 quite 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. --iRobert Horton/i

Iron Man rocks just like the Black Sabbath song does!
Tony Stark is played superbly by Robert Downey JR and he designs very hi-tec weapons for the U.S.A. army, but when his own weapons are used against him he has a major rethink what he wants his company manufacturing. This is why Tony Stark builds the ultimate weapon and becomes Iron Man to help undo all damage his company has done. Iron Man has very slick action scenes and is a very enjoyable superhero film with some nice humour. Jeff Bridges makes an excellent bad guy which made a nice surprise, as he normally plays such nice people in his films. I love the rock music used in Iron Man and you must listen out for the song Back In Black by AC/DC it rocks! The Blu-ray disc of Iron Man is a 2 disc edition so it has more special features then any of my other Blu-ray films. If you like your superhero films then Iron Man is a must buy and watch the film right until the end of the credits as there is a cool surprise! br / br /

Iron Man Blu ray
Full of action, again it gives you the feeling that "Money is everything". and "What i can do for me and not what I can do for my country". But still, a must see.
