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 The perfect blockbuster..., 3 Nov 2008
By Alex C. Anderson "alekir bourut" (glasgow sco) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
and the perfect comic book movie. Iron man had a hard job this summer a little known Marvel character in his first movie, released in a summer of great comic book movies (The Dark Knight, The incredible Hulk and Hellboy 2 The Golden Army}for anyone who knows the character of Tony Stark{Iron man)I dont need to explain how great the casting of Robert Downey jnr was, he simply is tony stark, jnr has a great dryness to his humour and sarcasm that really works with this character. The rest of the cast include Jeff Bridges, Terrence Howard and gwyneth Paltrow. The plot of the movie is fairly straightforward Tony Stark ceo of weapons manufacturer Stark Industries, travels to a warzone to sell his latest creation while there he gets abducted by hostiles and during the attack is severly injured, the hostiles try to force stark to build his latest weapon for there use, Stark instead designs a suit strong enough to break him out of his prison. fairly straightforward on paper however this summer you would be hard pressed to find 2 hours of fun like this, you genuinly can sense the directors passion for this character and how much work has gone into translating this faithfully from comic book to silver screen, as is made very evident through the superb special features. if you like comic book movies or intelligent blockbusters you must have this cant recommend this enough

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 Detailed and involving ... , 21 Nov 2008
By P. White (Cambridge, United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
I greatly enjoyed this film and it was a delight to watch an escapist SF/Superhero story that was presented to adults rather than 12 year olds. The detail in the sets and SFX combined with the plausible(ish) story and excellent acting makes for a satisfying experience. The blu-ray is very good and includes a full disc worth of extras, all in HD, that are actually worth watching. It's refreshing to see concept art presented in 1080 for example because it's possible to appreciate the artwork rather than just the concept (if you see what I mean).
So, good story, good production, good acting, good transfer, good extras.
