Iron Man: Armored Adventures Complete Season 1

I first saw this show when the first 6 episodes were on Netflix. I tried it out with my son and we were hooked by the end of the first episode, so we just had to get the whole season. For kids: This show is perfect for a young boy who likes action but you still want to shelter a bit. There is no "butt-kicking" (just tail-kicking). Nothing "sucks" (it stinks). Nobody dies, including bad guys. Plenty of explosions and action scenes each episode. And the themes in this show are all things you can talk with your kids about, like "Why should Tony stay in school" or "Why are weapons bad?". For parents: The dialog and voice acting is great. There are good jokes your kids can't get. My husband loves the animation. The story is easy enough for a kid to get, but very entertaining for adults as well. (And, being of the female persuasion, I can't wait until Season 2 so Tony and Pepper can maybe get together.) I highly recommend this show for anyone looking for something safe and fun for their son or grandson to watch.

The animation in this series is excellent. It's also engaging enough for a 10 year old to appreciate it as well as entertaining enough to keep a four year old glued to their seat. Having the entire season together in a well priced bundle is FAR preferable to having a few episodes per disc sold at inflated prices. I was pleased enough with the price and the quality of the episodes I viewed with my daughter on TV that I pre-ordered this season 1 release. I am very happy that I did. I think the series could benefit from more characterisation of the female characters, but it does make a good start.

When the show first premiered, I was a bit reluctant on trying it out, but after tuning in for only a few episodes, I was hooked on not only the well-crafted storyline, but also the interesting cast of characters that would help carry the show throughout its first season. Howard Stark is killed in the first episode, and his son Tony must carry on his father's goal of collecting and researching the five magical Makluan rings. During this journey, he must also come to terms with his father's death, and the legacy he left behind when Tony is set to inherit the company when he turns eighteen. Along for the ride are Tony's friends, who all contribute something to either the storyline itself or to the development of our hero; who grows over the course of the series. The villains who are introduced feel like actual fleshed out characters, from the unstable and misguided Living Laser to the enigmatic and tragic Madame Masque, rather than obstacles that the hero must fight for the sake of filling time. As the show progresses, Tony begins to realize hidden secrets about his father he didn't know about and things begin to tie back to the late Howard Stark and how everything starts coming together in the end. The cel-shaded animation is a unique look for the show, and helps it stand out from not only the other CG properties currently airing on television, but also the traditional animated shows as well. The cinematography is creative and dynamic; not only making the fight scenes fun to watch, but everyday tasks look and animated beautifully. While certainly no match for the theatrical works of Pixar and Disney, this show certainly feels like an aesthetic standard that all CG properties on television should strive to achieve. Overall, I found this show to be a lot more than I thought it would be; especially in a genre I lost interest in long ago. I recommend this show to any sci-fi fans, superhero fans, or maybe even a mecha anime fan if you got time to kill. Really, anyone simply looking for an animated show with a good, developed story and a memorable cast characters should check it out.

I loved the series when it aired. Bought to watch with my kids and they love it too. It was great to be able to watch something that's clearly aimed at kids without feeling dumb for doing so. And it avoids the trap of everything in the entire world revolving around a high school, even though a lot of it does. Tony's interactions with his dad's company means that there are a decent amount of non-kid storylines.

It's an interesting take on Iron Man. It's Tony Stark dealing with high school and being the Armored Avenger. It features Rhodey and Pepper Potts as Stark's sidekicks who assist him in class and with saving the day. The story shifts mainly from Stark having to deal with Obadiah Stane and Gene Khan who's trying to fulfill his destiny of being the Mandarin. At times, the show can be intriguing especially when you see Stark fight a popular Iron Man villain such as Whiplash or team up with fellow Avenger, the Hulk. Then sometimes it can drag just a bit such as the episodes where Stark helps Kahn in his ring-finding journeys. This show is great for die-hard Iron Man fans or Marvel fans.

I dont normally post reviews but for this I am making an exception. If you have an Iron Man lover at home this is truly a must have. We absolutely had to buy this once the kids became addicted to the awesomeness that is Iron Man season 1 ... ;D It has a catchy theme song, great story line, and the animation is quite good. My kids truly LOVE this show and ask for it daily so I highly recommend it to everyone. Seriously... If your kids are superhero fanatics this has to be on the shelf. I bought mine used, the sleeve which is just a cover and not important anyway was torn slightly and quite shelf worn & crumpled ... But the actual DVD case was pristine and the DVDs were in perfect condition. For a grand total of 12 bucks I am not complaining one bit! In fact I am thrilled at such a great deal.

I rented out this DVD for my 3 yr old son at the library - didn't even know they had cartoon Iron Man! He absolutely loved it and wouldn't give it up after 4 weeks of having to renew it so I knew I had to order his own copy. Anyway, I am so happy w/ it as this is the complete season - I was waiting forever at the library for the other episodes to become available - I guess it's quite popular for all the kids now a days. Also got Iron Man as an adult version too - as that was the version I purchased without knowing the difference. Anyway, I'm very happy to have made this 'mistake' as my son knows the difference and depending on his mood, he'll watch either version - of Tony Stark as a teenager or as an adult. On the side, I love the teenage version of Iron Man as it includes a great theme song that all 3 of my kids sing along to.

Though short lived this series was a nice reboot to the Ironman story. Basically Tony Stark is now a teenager using his Ironman technology to gain back control of Stark Industries. I won't say much more so as not to spoil any plot lines but suffice it to say a few arch enemies are also now the children of some evil person. Nice touch as it probably relates to the kids better. Definitely makes for an interesting Ironman based story line. Animation is a bit "computer generated" looking, switching from excessively detailed shots to some that are more akin to a modern video game. This seems to be a common theme with many cartoons/anime lately, not bad but annoying to some. The second season definitely ends as if more episodes were to follow but apparently the series was canceled before any were made.

I really like this product. The DVDs are awesome. Just one complaint: What episodes are on the discs and which disc they are on is not listed anywhere. Other than that a perfect product.

dvd's were great but the show itself isnt very good
