I don't know much about Iron Man but I did see the recent big screen adaptation and bought this because it was cheap. The story was the biggest downfall in this film. Iron Man against ancient Chinese elementals? The whole cheesy 'Modern Age against Ancient Evil' formula that has been put in so many films as a cheap attempt to get out a DVD at the same time as a big motion picture. The creators on the special features 'Origins of Iron Man' said that they wanted a contrast between Iron Man and his enemies, well I don't think that made it exciting at all. The animation was ok. Iron Man and the Elementals were done in CGI so they stood out in the 'ok' action scenes. The rest of the film was done in the rubbish animie style where the movement stops always halfway through them doing something (someone goes to punch, their arm goes quickly, stops for a second and then goes full pelt again; as if that makes it look more powerful). Overall, the film was Ok, not worth more than 2.5 (for trying). No match against the proper movie or even any of the Hulk movies.

Eh, this film was okay, but just that. It was kind of boring at parts andthe end was weird. I'm glad that the live action movie didn't turn out like this, but for being in Marvels animated line, it was god, although dcsdtvs are better. There was, perhaps too much time spent with Tony captured. What i will give it, however, is that it is a lot better than what i thought. This is only a film for comic fans, like myself, but will dissapoint those who want to see more after seeing the live-action movie.

This clever, quick-witted, tightly scripted adaptation of yet another superhero movie may actually turn into one of the most respected and highest ranked movies in this genre’s increasingly impressive collection.

I am not a comic book guy for the most part and had never heard of Iron Man before the previews to this movie. I almost didn't even go see it, but the good reviews by the critics made me decide to give it a chance. I was NOT disappointed. It was fantastic. My Social Standards now has my whole review.
