Editorial Review:
Amazon.com: 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

Rating: - Iron Man a smash hit good time
Iron Man The best reviewed film of the year. the Visual Effects are amazing, Robert Downey Jr. is very good as Tony Stark/Iron Man, the cast is pretty wonderful in this first film financed by Marvel Studios. The movie made over $317 million at the box office as the second biggest hit of 2008 way behind The Dark Knight at $507 million and counting as also the year's biggest hit.
Rating: - Enticing
For those with low attention spans, this is the perfect movie to watch. You will be (as critics like to say) 'on the edge of your seat' the whole way through. The role of Tony Stark was perfectly casted with Robert Downey Jr. who is satisfyingly hysterical! If someone asked for an entertaining action movie, I believe Iron Man is the one to recommend.
Rating: - Terrific!!!!
Great movie. The entire movie doesnt rest on special affects alone to carry some weight. This movie from start to finish didnt dissapoint me. Great choice for a dvd collection if you like this type of movie. Then again; if you didnt read a lot of comics and dont go out of your way for this type of movie its worth a view. Move over spidey!!! I AM IRON MAN!!!
Rating: - Excellent!
A great action movie and great effects! Downey jr is perfect as Tony Stark, i thoroughly enjoyed this movie and will buy it for Blu Ray...one of the best of the summer!
Rating: - Such A Cool Movie
Looking at this year what will most people say was the best comic book movie of 08? Dark Knight, exactly but next in line is without a doubt Iron Man and that's for many different reasons. Out of the 4 comic book movies I can name off the top of my head that were released this year, Iron Man was definitely the coolest, with Dark Knight being the most authentic, Hellboy 2 being the biggest fantasy and Incredible Hulk just being the most insane. Robert Downey Jr. without a doubt made this film what ... Read More
