I think that this animated feature appeals primarily to the hardcore fans of Marvel's Iron Man character. I am not particularly fond of superheroes, but I do enjoy animation still.The animation style was good, although I found the drawing style a bit out of my range of preference.As for the voice acting, well, I will say that the cast actually did quite alright, which was a crucial factor for an animated movie."The Invincible Iron Man" tells the story of the origin of how Stark became Iron Man. Now, as I haven't read the comic books I have no clue as to how true to the comic books this 2007 animated movie is.This is definitely for the fans, as us casual viewers will get more enjoyment and entertainment out of the actual live feature movies. Yep, those starring Robert Downey Jr.

This Film Is Great In Every Aspect. Anyone Who Enjoyed 'Iron Man' (2008) Will Like This Film. The Plot Is That 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. When his best friend James "Rhodey" Rhodes has been kidnapped, Tony travels to China to investigate, he is captured and badly injured by the Jade Dragons, his life only saved thanks to a Chinese shaman and Rhodes' skills as an army medic after a piece of shrapnel damages his heart. In order to confront the destructive force in this ultimate battle, 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 ever which becomes known as "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 with deadly chemistry. The Animation Is Excellent & The Voicework Is Exactly How I Imagined The Voices In The Comic Books. Overall This Is A Great Animated Film.

Marvel's third installment in their line of animated movies is probably the weakest so far. I was a fan of the two Avengers movies released previously and the concept of a Marvel animated movie dedicated to a single character was something I'd been waiting for. I was a bit let down after watching this movie; I didn't feel it lived up to the decent quality of its predecessors.This movie retells the origins of Iron Man: Tony Stark (voiced again by Marc Worden) has been using his company, Stark Industies, to fund an archaeological dig in China that has been under constant assault from a rebel group known as the Jade Dragons. After one attack finds James 'Rhodey' Rhodes missing, Stark flies out to China where he is taken prisoner by the Jade Dragons. From here, we find the familiar story of Stark creating his first Iron Man armor to keep him alive/help him escape and he soon assumes the role of Iron Man when he finds himself pulled into a prophecy that the Mandarin will arise and use his powers for world domination.Now, I've never really followed the Iron Man comics but I know that there are some problems with this already. Mandarin was not an ancient Chinese tyrant and he didn't use magic; he was man from modern times who used alien technology to create his rings of power. So, already, the movie has lost points for straying from the storyline that Iron Man fans know and love. I understand that the creators were probably going for an East vs West theme, magic vs technology, but I got bored with the idea pretty fast into the movie. The story itself felt as if it moved annoying slow at some points and the final confrontation at the end didn't really satisfy.The animation was pretty good but continued to suffer from the same flaws as the Avengers movies. Action scenes look great but smaller things, such as mouth/voice syncing and facial expressions, were weak. The creators used a bit more computer-generated animation for some of this movie, primarily in the Iron Man armors and in the Mandarin's demon elementals, and I'd say it worked pretty successfully. The majority of the fight scenes look great; I just wish we'd gotten some more time with the iconic Mark III armor.Overall, the movie is definitely a step backwards for the Marvel animated series. I enjoyed it to an extent, but I still don't consider the movie anything more than average. The film has it's strong points (the demon elementals and Iron Man's armor look fantastic) but continues to suffer from the same flaws as its predecessors. Add to that a mediocre story and you get 83 minutes that didn't quite leave me content.

right off the bat, i have to say that this film is not half bad.there's plenty of action,lots of explosions and some decent villains.if you are a fan of the comic book,you might not like it,because as far as i know,it is not that faithful an adaptation.also,the origin of Iron Man as told in this movie, is in my opinion, weak and much too brief and definitely is not faithful to the comic book.but there are plenty good things about the movie.the voice actor fit very well with their roles and the story was pretty good and the decent villains,which i mentioned earlier.as animated movies go,this 1 is pretty good.in my opinion 'The Invincible Iron Man' is about a 7/10
