Product Description

Past and present collide in this epic adventure that reveals the origin of Iron Man. While raising the ruins of a long buried Chinese kingdom, billionaire inventor Tony Stark digs up far more than he bargained for. He unleashes an age-buried Chinese kingdom, billionaire inventor Tony Stark digs up far more than he bargained for. He unleashes an age-old prophecy that foretells the resurrection of the Mandarin, the emperor of China;s darkest and most violent dynasty. In order to confront the destructive force, Tony creates an armored suit infused with high-tech weaponry. To stop the evil that he himself has raised from the earth, Tony must become the greatest invention ever-Iron Man! The newly born champion must travel to the four corners of the earth to battle the Mandarin's henchmen, the Elementals--four magical warriors who harness the power of the elements--earth, water, wind, and fire--withdeadly chemistry. But is the Iron Knight, as he is known in the prophecy, strong enough to defy fate and turn back the malevolent forces hell-bent on earth's destruction?

4.0 out of 5 stars Good animated version of Iron Man, March 2, 2009

By	B. Root "Me" (Laramie, WY United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

You can disregard the other customer reviews as they are just people rating their inability to purchase the product they wanted. If you couldn't read the product information page far enough to see that this was a Marvel animated movie and not the live action movie starring Robert Downey Jr that is your own problem. Please don't write negative reviews of something that have nothing to do with the actual product. That is dishonest and doesn't help your fellow online shoppers.

That being said if you like Marvel's other animated movies (The Avengers, The Avengers 2, Dr. Strange etc...) then you will like this movie. The animation is top notch and the voice work is decent. It is a well done Iron Man origin story and I hope to see more animated movies in Marvel's future.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good take on Iron Man, May 24, 2009

By	Adam Coltes - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

First off to all the stupid people, it says it is animated right on the cover, and then again says it is animated in the product description.

The movie is a good retelling of the Iron Man origin. Not every origin story needs to be exactly like the comics; otherwise it would be stale, repetitive and boring. Props to the creators for trying to update Iron Man and having the courage to tell their own story instead of regurgitating what has already been told numbers times in the comic book.

The movie is excellent quality and Blu-ray really makes it shine. Overall it is a good movie; do not be put off by the dummies who thought this was the live action that came out in 2008, when this movie came out in 2007.
