Editorial Reviews:

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-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 form the earth, Tony must become his greatest invention everâ€"Iron Man! The newly born champion must travel to the four corners of the earth to battle the Mandarin's henchmen, the Elementalsâ€"four magical warriors who harness the power of the elementsâ€"earth, water, wind, and fireâ€"with deadly chemistry. But is the Iron Knight, as he his known in the prophecy, strong enough to defy fate and turn back the malevolent forces hell-bent on earth's destruction?

Summary: Lackluster Origins Re-telling.
Comment: After having seen the live action version of Iron Man, I figured I would check out this animated feature released in 2007. I wasn't aware upon renting THE INVINCIBLE IRON MAN that this film was going to be a revised telling of Iron Man's origins and those of his arch nemesis, The Mandarin. The action of the film is set in modern day China. Billionaire Tony Stark is raising an ancient Chinese city from below ground, against the advice of the board of directors of his company, Stark Industries. In doing so, he inadvertently awakens some evil ancient magic that starts to cause chaos. Tony's best friend and leader of the excavation, James "Rhodey" Rhodes, is kidnapped and disappears. Tony travels to China in search of his friend and to oversee the end of the excavation. However, the armored unit that Tony is a part of is attacked and Tony is taken prisoner by the Jade Dragons, the same people who kidnapped Rhodey. In the attack Tony is mortally wounded. He is saved by the magical powers of a Chinese wise man and the medical quick-thinking of Rhodey. The Jade Dragons want Tony to build a weapon to destroy the Chinese city. Instead, he crafts a suit of iron armor that he uses to help himself and Rhodey escape. When Tony and Rhodey return to the U.S. agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. attempt to "arrest" the duo. They escape and they plan on how to get into Stark Industry headquarters to get the equipment they need to bring down the ancient Elementals awakened from the excavation site who are now causing havoc across the four corners of the globe.

I was disappointed by THE INVINCIBLE IRON MAN. As I mentioned at the beginning, I was not aware that this was a updating and revision of the Iron Man origins story. I don't have a huge problem with updating the story. As times change it sometimes makes sense to update a character's origins, ala the recent IRON MAN live-action movie. Therefore, I didn't have a problem with moving the main setting of the Iron Man's origins from Vietnam to China. Also, the action sequences were okay, especially the battle between Iron Man and the elementals below the ocean and inside the volcano. It was all the other little things that the filmmakers did to the story. For instance, having Rhodey with Tony and being one of the people responsible for saving his life; the iron suit Tony makes while a prisoner is not his first and is really just a improved version of many he has already created; Howard Stark did not die in a car accident and is still alive and well and is chairman of the board of Stark Industries; the rather lame "appearance" of The Mandarin; etc. Overall, the animation is a typical action-animated piece with nothing that really stood out in terms of style, tone, or appearance. There's also an incredible amount of time spent with the person of Tony Stark, yet there is very little development of his character at all. I don't have a problem with Tony being the focus of the feature, but if that's going to be the case there should be some real character growth and there's just not.

Viewers are better off watching the live-action version of IRON MAN instead of sitting through this dissatisfying mess.

The DVD includes several extras including an alternate opening sequence, the origin of Iron Man featurette (which is a making of piece), the Hall of Iron Man Armor, sequence of concept art, the first scene from a Dr. Strange animated movie from the same company who made THE INVINCIBLE IRON MAN, and several trailers for other films. The Hall of Iron Man Armor is very interesting. It has pictures with detailed information about almost every different Iron Man suit that Tony Stark has worn over the years. I learned some things about the character from the Hall of Iron Man Armor. I also really enjoyed the DR. STRANGE preview. It interested me enough that I wanted to find the movie and rent it.

Summary: Liked it!
Comment: I liked this one. Got it for a birthday present and just got around to watching it. I liked the animation and the story. It was a little long for me, but I thought it was a cool story and it was fun to watch just because it looked pretty. Iron man critics may take issue with the fact that the suit development part of the story will differ from the current major motion picture release and probably from the acutal comic books, as i have not gotten around to reading those yet. solid moive though, younger kids might not get it, i am not 100% sure though.

Summary: Slightly entertaining, but lots of problems - not nearly enough action
Comment: I'm only familiar with Iron Man through older cartoons & the recent movie. I don't care (I never care) about a script "being true" to its origins. I judge a script on its own merit, regardless of how many literary liberties it takes.

That being said, this was disappointing. The Invincible Iron Man purports to tell the story of the origins of Tony Stark and Iron Man and his first adventure, much like the movie. It doesn't - it almost completely skips over any setup, any character development, any comic relief, and jumps straight into the his first "adventure".

This adventure, also, was problematic. Dragons, warriors, non-corporeal beings...not very compelling, and a complete mismatch stylistically with the rest of the film.

Additionally, there was way too much romance, too much drama, and not nearly enough action. I thought the major advantage of making an animation movie was that the action sequences are more affordable. Why, on earth, would so much of the film be devoted to boring dialog?

It did have some good qualities. The few action sequence were fun. The animation was good, decent production value. But overall, unless you're a huge fan who must see every Iron Man installment, I'd say skip this one.

Summary: Not great for kids
Comment: I bought this movie with the anticiaption of getting my kid into Iron Man with the new movie out on the big screen. I was disappointed with the cartoon due to 90% of the movie is build up and only the last 10% is Iron Man fighting and action that a young kid could follow. This movie appears to appeal to an older generation or maybe even some older kids into comic books, not good for little kids.
