Product Description: Handsome billionaire Tony Stark runs a high-tech industrial empire, until arch rival Justin Hammer's explosive ambush nearly kills him. He is then whisked away to the secret Himalayan castle of The Mandarin, a demented evil genius whose jewel-fingered power generators can tie up the talents of ten superheroes. Mandarin tries to force Tony to build a protective armor that will shield his negative forces from justice. But instead, Tony creates a metal suit that turns his own body into Iron Man! Now it's payback time - as Iron Man launches the ultimate battle to rid the planet of evil once and for all!
'Ironman origin' review This felt like '80s animation watching Ironman. The music is a strange mix of organ, pipes; I didn't care for the opening theme. I did like the idea of Tony using Thermo-energy as a source for a Chip Plant. Pretty clever idea for a comic. Also, Tony stark was charging up on energy where ever he could -LONG before we had USB cables :)
The bad guys are pretty forgettable and uninteresting, except perhaps Fin Fang Foom. I liked how he didn't follow thru with his promise to the Mandarin. The Scarlet witch has a,um, lets say 'a very racy outfit'. I was sort of raising my eyebrows to see this in a cartoOn- not that I'm complaigning or anything! I wish the series had better villians and more guest stars.
Not Good Rating The cartoon itself is great but the quality of the product was extremely poor. It doesn't play without stopping altogether.
Who is Iron Man? My son recently received a T-shirt with Iron Man on it. He had no idea who Iron Man was. When I told him that Iron Man was one of my favorite superheroes as a child, my son could not believe it! It has proven hard for me to find Iron Man videos. This video explains how Iron Man came to be and had a cool adventure in the story line too. Not just my eldest son, whom I bought this for, but all my sons really like this video. It is about 45 minutes. We received it last night and we have watched it twice. We enjoyed it so much that I am now online trying to find more episodes!
