Worth the wait
Added 11/22/2009
For some reason, it took me about six months to watch this movie. When I finally did, it was way more than I expected. RDJr isn't my favorite actor, but he was perfect for this role. Paltrow played hers well, and Jeff Bridges really surprised me. One of my go-to movies on Blu-ray from now on. One of the best combinations of story, action and SFX I know of.

I am Iron Man!
Added 11/12/2009
This is one of the better superhero movies to come out in awhile. Marvel failed with the last two X-Men movies (and more recently X-Men Origins), The Hulk, and Spider-man 3 stunk. Marvel has redeemed itself with this fantastic flick (Fantastic 4 was alright)
Great action, graphics, sound, story, and laughs! Downey, Jr. is Iron Man!

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.
