Iron Man 2 4K Blu-ray Movie, Special Features and Extras
Disney's glossy, smooth SteelBook follows in the style of so many previously released UHD MCU Steels, offering a front side that basically takes some
existing artwork and drops it into a battered and tattered looking frame on the front (in fact, the edge work is identical to that seen on the Iron Man SteelBook). This one consists of the undesirable "floating
heads" approach, featuring Iron Man, palm out and ready to fire an energy blast, towering over character depictions of Tony Stark, Colonel Rhodes,
Black Widow, and Pepper Potts. Vanko appears in front of a fireball bottom-center. The rear side is simpler in design; only Stark's updated triangular
Arc reactor appears center, alit, surrounded by a brushed metal, battle worn and of a very dark red, almost rust, background, darker around the
edges (it's identical to the original film's SteelBook too in terms of points of wear). Paramount, Marvel, copyright, and model numbers appear in fine
print at the bottom. The spine carries over that same rust color with the film's title appearing center. A Paramount logo appears at the top and UHD
and Marvel logos at the bottom.
Inside, the digital copy code is tucked underneath the left-hand-side tabs. The two discs, one UHD and one Blu-ray, are situated on the right in
staggered-stacked formation. The inner print is a two-panel spread that features Iron Man facing forward, his entire head and most of his torso on the
right under the discs, his right hand extended, palm up, again ready to fire a blast. He stands apart from a very dark background in which it's difficult
to
make out any detail.

Iron Man 2 4K Blu-ray Movie, Overall Score and Recommendation
The SteelBook is fairly attractive and fits in nicely with many of the other MCU UHD re-releases. The content on the UHD disc is unfortunately lacking,
but
this is still a must-own for MCU fanatics and SteelBook collectors.
