Amazon.co.uk Review

Iron Man, outside of comic-book circles, was never one of the better-known superheroes waiting to enjoy a big screen adventure, but in the aftermath of Jon Favreau’s superb movie, anticipation for 2010’s Iron Man 2 is rightly sky-high.

Fortunately, there’s the small matter of the excellent Blu-ray release of the first film to enjoy while the wait goes on, which offers reference-quality picture and audio to enjoy. And those combine to bring across one of the most downright-enjoyable superhero movies of recent times. Robert Downey Jr is an inspired casting choice as Tony Stark, whose genesis as Iron Man is covered by this first film. Generous with its humour and yet never afraid to throw a spectacular action sequence at the screen, there’s nonetheless real grown-up thinking sitting underneath Iron Man, and the film benefits enormously from it.

Most Blu-ray recommendations inevitably promote the 1080p picture quality of a movie as one of its major selling points. That’s certainly fair here. But also, the audio work on the Iron Man disc is superb. This is a full surround sound track in every sense, with the soundstage ramping up the noise and the intensity as the action takes hold, but also proving its quality in the film’s slower moments too. Backed up with extra features in high-definition too, it’s a rounded and very welcome Blu-ray release. --Jon Foster

5.0 out of 5 stars Amazing film, amazing quality, 12 Oct 2008
By Simon Donald "thugernomics666" (Scotland, Montrose) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I have the American version that I bought the other week becuase I couldn't wait to get it!
The Blu Ray version is very a very good transfer and possibly one of the best out there. This is paramounts biggest release and its worth the wait.
The extras are really good too and unlike some blu ray's the extras are mostly shot in HD too.
It is also BD live meaning updates and interactive quizes etc are in there too.
The best part is the box art, pull off the swleeve and theres the man under the mask, epic!

5.0 out of 5 stars 2-Disc Set Does 'Iron Man' Justice, 6 Jan 2009
By Martin A Hogan "Marty From SF" (San Francisco, CA. (Hercules)) - See all my reviews
(TOP 50 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
There is a lot to `give away' in describing "Iron Man', but suffice it to say that the film makers 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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Iron Man rocks just like the Black Sabbath song does!, 27 May 2009
By Dragonlord (Cornwall) - See all my reviews
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!
