 | thoroughly enjoyed it - dangerkittenTony Stark played by the ever hot Robert Downey Jr. comes along and builds a shiny suit of armour which he plans to use to put and end to warfare, i mean what more could anybody ask for. I loved this movie and couldn't get enough of it. I thought is was a realistic and funny movie with a great storyline, and it totally reminded me of my brothers comic books more ... |
 | Excellent movie - PatrickAs a big fan of the comic book movies i was looking forward to the release of this one. i was a bit sketchy about Robert Downey jr taking the lead but he definitely didnt disappoint with a great charasmatic performance. great writing produced a witty, entertaining,exciting and gripping 2 hours that seemed to fly by. apart from straying a bit from the more more ... |
| BOY WAS I SURPRISED!!! - FILMFREAKHAVE TO ADMIT KNEW NOTHING ABOUT THIS FILM AT ALL, NOT WHAT I WOULD NORMALLY FOR FOR, BUT I HAVE TO SAY I WAS PLEASANTLY SURPRISED WITH THIS ONE. ROBERT DOWNEY JR JUST BRILL!! CANT WAIT TO SEE THE NEXT ONE. more ... |
 | Superb -mbucklee - mbuckleeDespite the last movie I saw with Mr Downey Jr was Zodiac and might I add a great steaming pile of overly long p**p at that, I looked forward to this movie with all the beaming enthuasiasm that it deserves. This film is at one and the same time, warm and rich and uplifting and dark. Downey Jr is a charismatic, witty and curious fellow, a unique and brave more ... |
| good fun - Angry GnomeIronman is the kind of movie that you should leave your brain a the door. as a result you wouldn't expect it to be reaching for any lofty ideals or complicated plot threads...that said... i loved it. it appealled to the drooling hyperactive child long dormant within. visually awesome and cool (no better word) action sequences. this film leaves you craving more ... |
| Excellent comic conversion - JoelIron Man is just genius and not only does it live up to the hype, it obliterates with great acting, great dialog, clever humor, and awesome action sequences throughout. What made this movie is simple...Robert Downey Jr. He literally became Iron Man and his stunning performance blew me away. There is really nothing to say bad about this film except one more ... |
 | Pure Metal - HSPSuperhero movies are never the highest on my list to go & see. I have gone into the cinema a few times open minded about what I would see & always ended up picking anything else but Iron Man. I never read any of the Marvel comic books about him so when I did eventually catch it I knew nothing about what powers he had or how he came to be Iron Man, more ... |
| Rock on Iron Man - foz_e_bearThis is the summer block-buster... one of the better, if not the best Superhero movie of the recent years. A clever, not overly complicated, almost believable roller-coaster ride. The special effects are great but not overpowering. The plot is not overcomplicated so the action flows brilliantly. This is the role Downy Jr. was born to play, cocky but more ... |
| Suprisingly Good - Marty GDespite initial relutance from the kids I dragged them along and as it turns out we all thoughly enjoyed the movie. Very good performance from Downey Jr. Delivered some amusing lines very well....And then he goes and pops up at the end of the Hulk..very clever marketing more ... |
| Fantastico - michellebutlerI have to admit that I believe this to be the best movie adaptation of a superhero/ comic that we have seen yet! The fact that Downey Jr is somewhat the same way in his actual life made the characters charm that bit more apparent! Having things in this movie that are effecting todays world is also good as it made at least a little of the movie real and as more ... |
 | WOW - WayneThis is THE best comic-turned-film ever made. The action in it is amazing. admittedly, the end is a tad cheesey (the whole stronger version on Iron Man being his friend) but the music really gave the essence of the movie, the action is amazing, really gets your adrenaline pumping and of course, at the end, that unmistakable guiatr riff we were all waiting more ... |
| Film Of The Year!! - Niall558Ironman was the movie of the year. it had great acting from the like of robert downey jnr to well all the cast. It actually hinted on to a new film "the avengers movie" twice. the most notable at the end of the credits and the less notable when pepper walks in and stark says shes seen him do worst things. There is a Captain America shield on his more ... |
| D'oh! that was good - EmmetIts in the door, drooling vegatative entertainment for 126 mins, and then out again struggling to remember anything you just saw. Plain vacuous fun is the best you can hope for with this one. It definately entertains and Robert Downy Jnr's presence is as likeable as it always is. Bridges too fulfills all that the villainesque role requires. His expression more ... |
| TEAM UP ALERT! - xxperfectauthorxxOMG! BEST FILM IVE SEEN IN AGES!! REALLY GOOD!! IF YOU LIKETHIS GO SEE THE INCREDIBLE HULK! ITS CLASS AND MAYBE THEY MIGHT TEAM UP IN THE NEXT FILM! more ... |
| Brilliant!!! - XxxMusic-LoverxxXThis is one of the best films based on a comic book that i have seen in a long time. The action is amazing and the special effects are excellent. Robert Downey Jr. is a brilliant actor and is perferct for this role. I loved the humour and spirit he brought to the film. Before i wasn't a Downey fan but after seeing him as iron man i'm sure i'll be going to more ... |
| So Cool!!!!! - YvonneGThis film kicks *ss!! That's saying something coming from a female!! I really loved this film, the action scenes are amazing, and Robert Downey Jr is perfect in this role. more ... |
| Alex - AlexIron Man is the best movie I have ever seen. I was never bored for 1 second watching it. more ... |
| coulda shoulda woulda - kowalskiIt could have been superb. It shoulda been one of the best comic book adaptions. It woulda been good with a decent director. Without the strong cast this would have been fairly awful. The premise has so much potential that the outcome is well below par. Decent sequences here and there may raise an eyebrow but with The Dark Knight coming soon they ought to more ... |
| A Movie Of Fine Mettle - pandabatThe latest in a long line of comic book adaptations, "Iron Man" comes to us with Robert Downey Jr. in the role of Tony Stark, aka Iron Man, a man who began life as a child prodigy and now heads up Stark Industries who chiefly concentrate on weapons manufacture. With nearly every mundane, day-to-day task taken care of by his assistant Pepper more ... |
| Full Of Iron - ab_65Has to go down as an instant classic in the marvell superhero franchise. Robert Downey Jr is flawless in this film and plays the role of Tony Stark down to a tee. A terrific movie and terrific cast. Well worth seeing over and over. more ... |
| Iron clad entertainment! - Hotspur1882WOW! I has expected little in the way of entertainment by going to see Iron Man. Not particularly a great fan of any of the stars or the director, or indeed the Iron Man comics. But you can bet I am now. Robert Downey Jr is absolutley fantastic in the lead, as to are the supporting cast. Witty sharp banter between all involved, with Downey getting the cream more ... |
| Go see this movie - b_plant01I had heard a lot of good things about this film before I went to see it, and I was half afraid that I had it built up too much in my head and I would be disappointed. but I wasn't, this was an exciting movie from start to finish, action packed and a bit of humour thrown in here and there. The plot of the film starts off with the head of a weapons company, more ... |
| 5 stars my backside!!! - stereophonic2kGood god what a waste of €8 that was GRRR so annoyed i wasted my money on that movie, i love the whole Marvel translation to screen, but i'm sorry this to me did not work in more ways than one..... lets start with how long and drawn out and boring it was! i mean i could have gone for a snooze half way through and still picked up what was going on, it more ... |
| Very good - lucyI really liked this movie deffo go and see.... more ... |
| Flawless - galway89Tony Stark (Robert Downey Jr.) is a womanizing billionaire and the most talented weapons manufacturer in the world. After a 3 month abduction by military forces, Stark wakes up to the horror and destruction his weapons have caused. Enabled by his newfound sense of morality, he develolps a high technology suit that will protect the innocent from the evil and more ... |
 | Very good - MaireByrnesaw this film the other night and was surprisingly impressed. i wouldnt be a one for the ol' mad action films etc but thought this was very good.robert downey jr. does tony stark a good turn and plays the slick and slightly arrogant character well...paltrow is good too and the awkwardness between them is portrayed well - its great to see two actors which more ... |
| Best movie ever - Kylebest movie i've seen in my life!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! more ... |
| 4 or 5 star movie - has everyone gone mad!!! - goodolegilli understand you should leave your brains at the door with films like this but i might of well of replaced it with a five year old to say this is a 4 or 5 star film. Hollywoods writers seem to have gone a go slow before and after the strike with americanisations of the asian horror genre and comic book adaptions. So with the glowing references and reviews more ... |
| Fantastic! - FiI only went to see this to get a break from the study and the trailers looked good but I am so glad I did!! It was fantastic I thoroughly enjoyed it from start to finish!! I absolutely love Robert Downey Jr. he completely rocked this movie! They could not have picked a better man for the job!!! more ... |
 | Ironmen - PlantIronman always had a cool outfit and in this movie it really is cool it's a toys-for-boys gadget if ever there was one. Developed by eccentric billionaire weapons developer Tony Stark based on a prototype built out of necessity in a cave in Afghanistan. The film begins with the launch of a new range of missile – The Jerrico a weapon of biblical more ... |
| Brilliant! - ck91by far exceeded expectations of an average superhero type film. Brilliant acting with a great storyline, not to mention awesome cars and the super hot Gwyneth Paltrow! a definate must-see! more ... |
| Film of the summer...? - anonTremendous outing backed by a powerhouse performance from Downey Jr as loveable rogue Tony Stark. Paltrow is as sexy as ever as Stark's perceptive assistant while Jeff Bridges is as far removed from the Dude as one can imagine. Unlike other superhero/blockbuster flicks which rely heavily on effects to the detriment of the story (Read: Transformers) Iron Man more ... |
| A muscle car on legs - Mark BoyleSo, this is apparently the first film that Marvel Studios have entirely self-financed – no involvement from any Hollywood studios (apart from in distribution) and hence no interference from studio execs or stupid “focus groups”. No, instead the company that owns the intellectual property gets to develop their film entirely as they see fit. more ... |
| See this Movie!!! - sandra sinnottThis is 100% worth watching. I knew very little about Iron Man, had no expectations but it blew me away. The effects were brilliant, it was full of humour and Robert Downey Jr was fantastic in it. Best choice of actor ever. Unmissable! Will definately be getting it on DVD. more ... |
| only ok - Dee79well made and witty, pity about the plot. Was disappointed that i could see every plot development coming a mile off. seriously wanted gyneth to get squashed by the bad robot (i'm mean seriously, she was running in 6 inch stilletos) Robert Downey jnr added a much needed comic touch to the movie, but i couldn't help wishing that his sidekick in the movie the more ... |
| Iron Man - Good Choice - S8rahGood Choice... that's what I was told after we went to see Iron Man this week.... was a good take on what could have turned out to be an awful film! The writers managed to throw in the odd funny one liners but that wasn't what made the film, the fact that it had an actual story line besides a man that turns into a superhero was what made the film. It is in more ... |
| Great Movie - Little RobIt was the best movie I have seen ever. more ... |
| Excellent Comic Adaption - ExcelsiorguyThis is the best attempt at movie making for Marvel since the X-Men films.I'm serious this is an excellent film! It manages to be funny,cool and true to the comics at the same time.Fingers crossed for IM 2. more ... |
| Iron man 10/10 - little robIts the best film i have ever seen more ... |
| ironman - debbiewas reluctant to go see this with dh but went even though gwyenth whiney voice annoys me and i enjoyed it! it was good and gwyenth didnt annoy me too much robert downey was excellent cant wait for sequel!!! more ... |
| Good Fun Blockbuster - MarkAh! it's blockbuster season again and with Indy, Batman, Hellboy, the Hulk and (later on) Bond on the way it promises to be a bumper crop. Coming ahead of these, I must admit I feared for Ironman. The trailer looked a little silly and Ironman is hardly a household name. However, I needn't have worried as the director (Favreau) and a strong cast deliver a more ... |
| Ailbhe - ailbheWow! This film, like all Hollywood blockbusters was hyped. When I saw the trailer I thought to myself that looks great. However as usual I thought it will never live up to this hype. Half way through the film, even ten minutes before the end, I was waiting for the big let down. It never came. This film lived up to the hype. In fact, it wasn't hyped enough. more ... |
| Why not Black Sabbath's - catr?omarWas director Jon Favreau not able to get the rights to Black Sabbath's "Iron Man"? While the theme music was similar, it lacked the punch. Especially when he lands in Afghanistan and begins kicking some bad guy behind. Can't you just hear it? He lands with a BOOM, his head snaps up, and the music goes lLOUD...NAH-NAH-NAHNAHTNAHT! NA-NA NA-NA more ... |
| downey is back to his best - davida bit slack in the middle , but it needed to be done for all the non comic book readers more ... |
| good but not great - y2Joey17i liked the movie, i thought it was great from a fan of iron man, but the film would be nothing without downey jnr, the scripy wasnt great nor was the story, but it was enjoyable and i liked it. more ... |
| Brilliant - See it on the Big Screen!!! - sarahThey couldnt have chosen a better actor to fill the Iron shoes. RD Jr. was perfection as Iron Man, so cheeky, sexy and watchable. I enjoyed this film from start to finish (incl. the suprise scene with Samuel L Jackson after the credits) and will probably be heading to the cinema to see it again soon. more ... |
| This Tin Man now has a Heart - jimmyendlessSo, Iron Man. Robert Downey Jr. wouldn't have never been my first choice for a superhero role but he surprisingly fitted in quiet nicely. The main character he plays, Tony Stark, is not a completely average hero. He is a weapons manufacturer and throughout the buildup of the film, couldn't care less about his impact of his weapons on the world. He is then more ... |
| Brilliant!! - JayneI absolutly LOVED this film! I would recommend this movie to anyone that loves superhero action! 11 out of 10 from me. more ... |
| Only ok! - Susan CorkHaving taken on board what everyone else has said i have to admit that I thought this film was worth seeing but only ok! i mean if you have seen everything else in the cinema then its a treat to leave this to the end! its a total cross between Robo Cop and the Fantastic 4! virtual effects are quite good! on the other hand then it does actually give you an more ... |
 | Hype, eat your heart out - Patrick MillerIts the first time its happened in a long time, a film that not only lived up to the hype but kicked it squarely between the legs a proclaimed itself victor. From the outset the movie sets a precedent, opening with Back in Black took some balls and Robert Downey Jr. pulled off what was a rather simple scene, four people in a humvee in the middle of nowhere, more ... |
| Class - Big BrenJust when we were getting fed up of the same old routine superhero film this comes along and blows them out of the water. more ... |
| Best Superhero Movie - JayGThis is by far the best Superheroe movie in a long time - it was really refreshing, innovative, entertaining, new....the thing that inspires the most interest in the movie is the Iron suit of armour with all the gadgets. It really is amazing. A superhero with a cape and super human powers doesn't cut it anymore. A superhero whose uses his super brain to more ... |
| Brilliant - RDogOne of the best movies I've seen this year. Has to be up there with Transformers, it only misses out because Megan Fox wasn't in it. Go and see this movie. more ... |
| Brilliant, very entertaining film. - Baron FlyGuyI knew nothing about Ironman before I went to see this film. I must say I really enjoyed it and would rate it above any Spiderman film. Robert Downey Jr character is really good and funny. more ... |
| Class! - CjsThe movie was excellent. See it or uh..um.....you suck more ... |
| Iron Fan - ButterBeanExpecting a high-action/cheesy joke/predictable romance packed film, I got just that - but it was better than most. The special effects are good, and Downey Jr.'s acting is impressive. One to rent on DVD, at the very least. more ... |
| brill - Fantastici thought it was a good yet action packed movie its enjoyable for people of any age. The jokes were funny, the action scenes were actiony, but i didn't like the afghanistans, the subtitles kind of ruined it but without the afghanistans it wouldn't have made sense 4 1/2 more ... |
| Best super-hero movie ever! - XandielThe Best super-hero movie i've ever seen! Jokes were excellent and the story was great! Definitely one that must be seen! Exciting and awesome! These are only a few words i can use to describe it, Go see it! more ... |
| very good - emmothis movie is very well made ! it just goes to show the upped tempo style of the new summer releases . it had great action scenes and superb acting by robert downey jr. i felt that it shows the world how easy it is to have weapons , built solely for the protection of a nation , used against them. it has this message running as an undercurrent throughout the more ... |
| FROM 'LESS THAN ZERO' TO SUPERHERO - Bobbi JonesA movie critic ironically once remarked of Robert Downey Jr's harrowing performance as the young wealthy drug addicted yuppie in 1987's 'Less Than Zero', "his acting here was so real, so subtle & so observant, it was scary." Mercifully, his life hasn't mirrored the film's ending (so far) as the character overdosed & died in the back of a more ... |
| Really enjoyable! - edel mccrudden2Have to admit to being a complete comic book nerd so I didn't know what to expect with this film. Would they go down the lines of turning a great character-turning story into an action pack, substance lacking roller coaster or bore the arse off people concentrating on the human psyche. Thankfully this team managed a great balance between the action of Iron more ... |
| GreatMovie!!! - movieManTony Stark (Downey) an weapons developer for the UnitedStates has a lucrative and lavish lifestyle without a care in the world until while at a weapons demonstration he is caputred by men plotting to rule all of Asia. While in captivity he creates a suite of armour in which he escapes his captors. He then sees the error of his ways and changes the way he more ... |
| Iron Man - Cinema Gold - Rogue Of The Western SeaboardWhile not the first Marvel comics release, it is their debut as a self-financed studio. It's the first film adaptation that they've had full control over and it is all the better for being such. They managed to find that magic middle ground by staying true to the comic, keeping the hardcore fans appeased, but also making it inviting to a new audience. The more ... |
| Not bad but slow to get going - TomKI enjoyed the film but it was very slow to get going and you knew who the bad guy was from the very start, rather transparent story! That said the special effects were good. It's a classic, leave your brain at home type film. more ... |
| Turn off the brain and enjoy the ride! - HeadlightsNot a Downey jnr fan at all (thought he stank in Zodiac). Not a comic hero brought to big screen fan either - but hey I really enjoyed this film. It far exceeded my expectations in all aspects, from pure action scenes to a great performance from Downey jnr. If you switch off the brain and ignore suggestions of evaluating it against Batman Begins etc more ... |
| the best movie ever - Al''s Mumthe storyis based around a 30 year old who owns a company that sells dangerous weapons to the united states army.his name is Tony Stark. his father was responsible for the creation of the nuclear bomb. he is quite intelligent yet acts like an idiot. he does this in many ways, some of them are: having sex with people he barely knows,showing up late , more ... |
| Much better than expected!! - nathanThe storyline follows a rich billionaire Tony Stark as he is taken inot captivity by a terroist organisation. It is there where he makes the prototype "iron suit". from the start of this movie i knew it was going to be good, excellent in fact. The stoyline was very well done, and i thoroughly enjoyed it, a definite muct-see! 4 stars! more ... |
| wat is the colour of iron man - downey kidthis movie was a brilliant it had everything tht woz in the cartoons in it it woz the best movie i hav seen dont miss out on ur chance to see it dont see it once see it 2to3 times thts who goooooooood it really ive seen yesterday when it came out to the cinemas first more ... |
| Totally Predictable - Siobhan LDowney plays Stark, who inherited his weapons empire from his father (who died mysteriously in an accident). Starks is a uberrich genius who is also lucky with women. He has a fleet of cars Leno would envy and Paltrow manages the details of his charmed life. Suddenly on a trip to Afghanistan bad things happen and he creates a suit that allow him to do more ... |
| Wow! - CascarinoWhat an absolutely fantastic surprise! I suppose they are not called "Marvel" for nothing. This really is an excellent film, by far the best that has come from Marvel and without doubt the platform for a great franchise of films. Robert Downey Jr is probably, albeit bizarrely, the most credible superhero we have seen on screen since Christopher more ... |
 | GREAT!!!! - JenThis is a movie that will make the movie going public once again fall in love Robert Downey Jnr. and why not. He plays Tony Spark who is an egoistical, alcoholic, womanising b***ard brilliantly. Jon Favreau has created a seamless action filled master piece. Everybody needs to go see this movie. more ... |
| Marvellous! - AramiconThe glut of superhero movies has continued unabated in the last few years, and to be honest, most of them were poorly derived paint-by-numbers productions that were too conducive to marketing not to make. I mean, you get a blockbuster movie with a recognizable name, iconic graphic figures, massive merchandising, and a supporting video game (Or maybe more ... |
| A near perfect film - Cyberx_94Iron man Iron man is a superhero/action/comedy film directed by Jon Ferveau, it stars Robert Downey Jr in the role of the title character. The story concerns Tony Stark, an eccentric, egotistical, wealthy , obnoxious, smart alec business man, scientist playboy and weapons dealer/develop. While in the Middle East Stark finds himself being kidnapped by a more ... |
| amazing - PaulChalonerAAWWWWWEEESSSOOOMMMMEEEEE!!!! absolutly brilliant more ... |
| Does what it says on the tin (Or iron in this case ) - Steve Holt!!This movie is a good example of what a Summer movie should be. Neither as dark as Chris Nolan's Batman Begins, nor as utterly vacuous as the recent Fantastic Four movies, this is a well made movie that is funny, explosive, surprisingly emotional and thoroughly enjoyable. It starts with a bang, and introduces us to playboy/genius Tony Stark (Downey Jr). He's more ... |
| A 5-star rating - GhengisAn absolute must-see movie. The action scenes are awesome! more ... |
