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 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 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. --Robert Horton

4.0 out of 5 stars Brilliant, bombastic fun., 6 Mar 2009
By Phil Hattie "Stuff lover" (Glasgow, Scotland) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Iron Man [DVD] [2008] (DVD)
Marvel had a great run of movies in the early noughties but lost steam with more recent efforts such as the painful X-Men 3 and the lacklustre Spider-Man 3. As the cast list was announced for Iron Man it became slightly intriguing as a couple of left field choices suggested this could well be better than the average. And thank all our lucky stars it is.

Billionaire industrialist and genius weapon designer Tony Stark is captured in the Middle East by a terrorist cell who promptly force him to work on creating a hi tech missile for them so they can blow up some Americans. Tony's in even more trouble as a bit of shrapnel is moving toward his heart and will kill him except for a car battery that is being used to keep his heart beating. Ever resourceful though, he uses the materials supplied by his captors to build a super suit that allows him to lay the smack down and escape. On his return to freedom he tries to turn the direction of his company toward less militaristic practices and faces opposition from his friends and colleagues- especially long time confidante Obadiah Stane. Undeterred however, he perfects his high tech armour and starts aiming to do some good in the world.

It's silly stuff, but no sillier than the last survivor of Krypton or a teenager bitten by a radioactive spider. Suspension of disbelief is aided by brilliant pacing and a well crafted script. The scenes where Tony perfects the Iron Man armour have plenty of comedic asides, including the cutest robot buddy this side of Wall-E, and the action sequences look great. Teases are dropped throughout the movie about an organisation called SHIELD (look out for a short scene after the credits) that plenty of Marvel fans have become excited about. Cast wise it's excellent, Robert Downey Jr makes a great Stark, playing the shallow ladies man to perfection and then easily conveying the growing senses of responsibility and conviction. His easy interplay with Gwyneth Paltrow's "Pepper" Potts (his capable personal assistant) is one of the films delights and they prod each other and flirt so playfully that they are easily the best on screen couple from a Marvel movie. Jeff Bridges brings smarm and menace at all the right times to Stane, while Paul Bettany's dry and somewhat cutting asides as computer AI Jarvis help lighten the load in the scenes where Tony is on his own. Terrence Howard is adequate, if a bit anonymous, as Jim Rhodes, Tony's US Military liaison.

As is a flaw in many super hero movies the final third is a bit rushed and suffers in comparison to the majority of the movie, but it's a minor flaw. While this is no Dark Knight style masterpiece, Iron Man is easily the most fun and repeatedly watchable film of 2008's summer blockbuster slate.

By S. Kumar "Medical Student" (London) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Iron Man [DVD] [2008] (DVD)
I actually saw this in the cinema, but my dad wanted to watch it, so bought it, it's absolutely amazing, Lots of action, fast cars, exciting new technology and just one lovey dovey scene! Don't get me wrong i like chick flicks too, but if you want to watch just an action film then this is certainly the one i'd choose!
