Good Movie. Near Perfect Adaptation.
Added 10/30/2009
I enjoy this film every time I watch it. There was a lot of hype going into Iron Man, and the film satisfied nearly everyone. The action is just enough to please, and to leave the viewer wanting more. The film's pace is brisk and there is nearly no downtime. Downey Jr. perfectly portrays Tony Stark, an immature billionair turned empathetic hero. Jeff Bridges rarely plays a villain, but turns out a believable performance that is a good counterpart to Downey's character. Terrance Howard has a somewhat minor role, but Howard pulls it off greatly; it is too bad that he was replaced for the sequal. Paltrow's take as Stark's assistant is the heart of the film. I hope the sequal is just as good.

This is an incredible movie. Robert Downey played the role extremely well. I enjoyed every part. The action is surreal. Total thumbs up.

Stick with DVDs
Added 10/26/2009
After recently upgrading both my DVD players (a Samsung 1500 and a Pioneer BDP51) this disc will no longer play. Interestingly not only will it not play, the Pioneer can't even identify it (unknown disc error). Having invested in an HD home theater system I have to admit to being less than impressed with blu-ray. Monthly firmware updates leading to a decreasing number of playable discs - sounds like a great system. I'll stick with upsampling my DVDs.

Become an engineer and build your own Iron Man !

This is an incredible entertainment but what really sets it apart is that showcases technology that will someday be possible. There are companies right now [name deleted] that are working on systems that extend human ability beyond what our bones and muscle are designed to do. Soldiers in the future (or superheroes) will be able to lift hundreds of lbs. and run at superhuman speeds. Will they fly? This movie shows us that it's possible !!
Get your kids and your friends interested in math, science and technology. You won't believe the places it will take you. Whether flying in a suit or flying beyond our own planet (Iron Man 2?) the sky is the limit.
