Considering Buying Iron Man Blue Ray? Read This First!

The Iron Man movie burst on to the movie screen in 2008 with craziness. When a movie brings in over $300 million you have to stand up and take notice.

For both comic book fans and others who wouldn’t go near the, the Iron Man Blu-ray manages to strike a perfect cord with viewers. Robert Downey Jr plays the role of Tony Stark, a multi-billionaire genius and resident playboy that puts as much effect into the ladies as he does chasing his next big idea. However while traveling overseas Tony Stark quick jumps into chaos as he finds himself at the mercy of a power hungry warlord.

The positive reviews by today’s critics are impossible to miss. The gadgetry is absolutely electrifying, the action is mostly exhilarating, the comedy is scintillating and the whole enterprise throbs with dramatic energy. Iron Man Blu-ray is an action sci-fi blockbuster extravaganza that provides cartoon thrills for thinking people. It’s the best movie of its kind since the second Spidy movie four years ago.

However not everything in this movie is positive, as critics have pointed out a few problems with Iron Man. Switching between Stark’s impish goatee and Iron Man’s full-metal body suit, and amid so many generic fireballs, kill shots and earsplitting thumps, bumps and crunches, the film finally falls under its own weight. Downey’s unbeatable charisma makes these problems less troublesome than they would be otherwise, but wouldn’t it be nice if they didn’t exist at all.

The value of the Iron Man Blue ray is hard to pass up. The package includes deleted and extended scenes, a 7 part making of documentary, another 6 part “invincible iron man” documentary, visual effects and a Bob Downey screen test. The Blu-ray version contains special exclusives as well in a featurette entitled, Hall of Armor, IM IQ and more.

Director Jon Favreau and star Robert Downey make this smart, high impact superhero movie one that even non-comics fans can enjoy. At the end of the day it’s Robert Downey Jr. who powers the lift-off separating this from most other superhero movies.
