Great!! -  - This is a great movie!!! I'm very pleased with Robert Downy Jr., his performance was the best!!! Can't want for a second one, the chemistry between Robert and Gwyneth was awesome!!! And I love Terrence Howard!!
2-Disc Set Does Iron Man Justice! -  - There is a lot to `give away' in describing "Iron Man', but suffice it to say that the creators have created the real Tony Stark. He is the rowdy billionaire responsible for building weapons of mass destruction and selling them to the enemy who then turns into a reluctant and then powerful `Iron Man'. The cinematography is stunning in Blu-ray and the scenes starting from Afghanistan to Los Angeles's skies are over-whelming. The action is intense, funny, witty and true to the character of the comic book character. Plus, it is all believable. Robert Downing, Jr. playing around with his Iron Man invention is nothing short of hilarious and thrilling. Gwyneth Paltrow is a bit underused as his assistant, but she supplies some killer one-liners. Jeff Bridges plays a role that truly threatens Iron Man, but that's all I'll say. The effects are fantastic, the storyline is fast and clever and it is no small wonder it broke box office records. On Blu-ray disc, it is just as good as being in a movie theater - the details, color and sound are that amazing! Tony Stark IS `Iron Man'.
All Blu-ray discs are set up differently according to their theme, but for Iron Man, I'll describe the imagery. The initial PLAY/SCENES board is a colorful statue of Iron Man with colorful, comic book scientific looking diagrams. Audio is available in English 5.1 Dolby TrueHD, French 5.1 Dolby Digital and Spanish 5.1 Dolby Digital. Subtitles are in English, English SDH. French, Spanish and Portuguese. There are some great extras like the `Hall of Armor' showing all four Iron Man designs, `the Invincible Iron man' and deleted scenes. These deletions are great, inclusion "I Am Iron Man', `Visuals Effects of Iron Man', `a fantastic `Robert Downey Jr. Screen Test'. "The Actors Process' (Downing and Bridges get down with some real improvisations), a semi-spoof trailer from `The Onion' on Iron man,' Theatrical Trailers, Galleries, Credits and Subtitles. Not to leave anything out, more extras include six mini features such as `friends and Foes' and "Demon in a Bottle". If you're really into Blu-ray, try connecting to the Internet for BD-Live capability. This is one of the Blu-ray features that put it so far and above regular DVD.
See it Twice - - This is a great techno action movie. Watch it twice so you can pick up any piece you might have missed the first time. Very intertaining, and from the movies our next technology come!
Lots of fun for Robert Downey, Jr, and the audience... - - My spouse saw this film in the theater before we saw it together on DVD, and hyped it pretty thoroughly. It lived up to the advance notices.
Great looking scenes, fun dialog, and terrorists who are actually into terror for terror's sake, not some obvious political or regional cause. The IRONMAN suit has enough WOW factor to hang a movie around. More than you can say for most costumes, even the CGI ones.

Fantastic movie! - - Ironman is a fantastic movie. The action starts at the beginning of the movie and continues throughout the entire movie. The special effects are awesome! My husband and I have watched this movie at least 3 times and have shown the movie to numerous friends who in turn have purchased it as well. Robert Downey, Jr. is a perfect match for this character. I can't wait until another one comes out.
