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?

Marvel Comics'
armor-clad superhero Iron Man gets another update in
this animated feature, which incorporates much of his
mythology in its energetic storyline. Here, millionaire Tony
Stark (voiced by Marc Worden, who performed similar duties for
Marvel's Ultimate Avengers and its sequel) is inspired
to create his iconic suit after being injured at an
archaeological dig in China. His heroic alter ego isn't the
only thing to arise from the dig; the ancient city harbors a
quartet of elemental spirits, who seek to resurrect the
Mandarin and continue his reign of evil. Hardcore Marvel fans
may decry some of the deviations from the original Iron
Man text (Stark's father Howard is alive and well in the
feature, and the suits are already in development by the time
Stark is injured), but the prevalence of numerous figures from
the source material (in addition to the Mandarin, there's
James Rhodes, a.k.a. War Machine, Pepper Potts, the agents of
S.H.I.E.L.D., Wong Chu, and glimpses of several incarnations
of the Iron Man suit) and the overall vigor of the story and
the quality of the 2-D and 3-D animation should please most
viewers, and makes for an enjoyable alternative to the
impressive 2008 live-action film. Extras include a making-of
featurette which discusses Stark's 1960s origins in the comic
book and the direction taken in the movie, as well as a
terrific gallery of Shellhead's various suits worn throughout
his storied career. A glimpse at Marvel's next animated
feature--Doctor Strange--is also included. Note for
parents: The Invincible Iron Man contains some intense
violence and implied nudity, so discretion should be taken
before screening for very young viewers. --Paul
