Pros: Well directed, great performance from Downey Jr. Cons: Action is limited
As superhero movies go they can reach all ends of the spectrum. Sadly the flops are much more common than the blockbuster. But there seems to be a secret to the formula. Give it to a low budget independent style director who isn’t really known for ...
Pros: Very entertaining movie with a great cast. Cons: Some characters not developed as much.
I tend to enjoy most movies that deal with superheroes, especially when the movies are based on well known characters from comic books. Superhero movies have become very popular in the last several years, so many new movies are being made. The summer ...
Pros: Effects, humor, story, acting. Cons: For the genre, none come to mind.
The money train just keeps on rolling for Marvel Comics and its seemingly endless supply of superhero characters turned into big screen productions. Already having turned to lesser-known properties the likes of Daredevil and Ghost Rider, Marvel ...
Pros: Special effects; action; acting Cons: Robert Downey Jr.; pacing; lack of character development
Superhero movies seem to be becoming a staple of the Summer Blockbuster Season, and this summer has a few more choices for comic book geeks and the general populace alike. The first of those is Iron Man. It's loud. It has action and special ...
Pros: Acting, Character, Surprisingly decent effects, Moments of soundtrack Cons: Very basic plot, Pacing
I cannot remember the last time I went into a summer looking forward to the summer movie season as much as I am this year. There are so many films coming out that have real potential to be good films as well as make studios' money that it is almost ...
Pros: smart enough for parents, exciting enough for kids Cons: Giant Suit vs Giant Suit scene
IronMan has been a staple of Marvel comics for as long as I can remember. That makes sense. His debut was in April of 1963, several months before my "debut." The movie version stars Robert Downey Jr as Tony Stark/IronMan. I loved the kids of X-Men ...
Pros: Great effects, RDJ is exceptionally well suited for this role Cons: Anticlimactic final battle
Never would I have thought to cast Robert Downey Jr. in the lead role of a superhero movie. He's a big name actor, and the track record of films with big name actors in the lead role hasn't been all that great. Take Ben Affleck as Daredevil ...
Pros: Paltrow (surprisingly!) Cons: No comic book entertainment value whatsoever.
Rich, bad boy, technical genius Tony Stark (Robert Downey Jr), who inherited his father’s weapons making biz, finds himself in deep Afghan kaka when captured by local renegades who torture him into creating a weapon for them. His response? An iron ...
Pros: Excellent effects, photography, acting, etc. A super superhero movie. Cons: It's not Shakespeare.
IRON MAN (that's two words) is the latest incarnation of a Marvel Comics superhero. And it also suggests something about its star, Robert Downey Jr. So it's a story on two levels.Slightly modernized from its comic book original, ...
Pros: Great central performance from Downey Cons: 'Durkha, durkha' terrorists and quite a few plot holes
Superhero films are probably my guiltiest of guilty pleasures. I enjoy them pretty much unconditionally because I'm a nerd. But unlike the kind of nerd who begins criticising a comic adaptation as soon as the first publicity shots show that the hero's ...
Pros: GREAT action, amazing effects, funny characters, hot girls, uhh, whats not to like? Cons: Your girlfriend might not like it.
Iron Man is simply one of the best. Forget the sorry excuses for movies that were Spider Man 3, or The Fantastic Four, forget all that nonsense. Iron Man stands with the best, a true revival for the super hero genera on par with the great super hero ...
Pros: Excellent Robert Downey Jr. performance, and lots of wit. Cons: Nothing significant.
There will probably never be a "superhero" movie that will stand the test-of-time as a full-blown movie CLASSIC. Could there every be a CITIZEN KANE of some guy in a brightly colored costume flying around saving people? Probably not. But as POPULAR ...
Pros: Astounding metal mayhem and the soul and wit and panache of ROBERT DOWNEY, JR.!! Cons: Although Jeff Bridges was good, the main villain could've been better...
Finally, Marvel Comics' ol' Shellhead arrives on the big screen, and he arrives with stunning force. I don't quite know if this is the best superhero film ever made, but IRON MAN's just about got me convinced that it at least ranks right up there with ...
Pros: Awesome action, awesome writing, RDJ Rules! Cons: A little clumsy at the end
Superhero movies are usually a mixed bag for me. The first Superman was sublime, the second was pretty good too, the original Batman rocked, as did Nolan's reimagining. But I felt that Spider-Man fell to pieces by the end (the second was a marked ...
Pros: Fun, intelligent film Amazing effects Cons: Some in-movie advertising. No big deal
Two words: Jon Favreau. My brother got this DVD and I was very skeptical (to say the least) of it. I have seen my fair share of franchise milking, cheese filled, frankly unwatchable superhero movies. This is far from typical. ...
Robert Downey Jr. stars as Tony Stark/Iron Man in the story of a billionaire industrialist and genius inventor who is kidnapped and forced to build a ...More at HotMovieSale.com
