Iron Man 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. This one consists of the undesirable "floating heads" approach,
featuring Iron Man from the chest-up on the left while character depictions of Tony Stark, Obadiah Stane, Pepper Potts, and James Rhodes fill the
right-hand side, top to bottom. A few fighter jets scream after a flying Iron Man in a small depiction on the right, underneath of which stands Tony in
his first crudely designed suit used for escape from his captors in Afghanistan. The rear side is simpler in design; only Stark's Arc reactor appears
center, alit, surrounded by a brushed metal, battle worn red background, darker around the edges. Paramount, Marvel, copyright, and model numbers
appear in fine print at the bottom. The spine carries over that same red, the lighter portion, 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 Tony Stark in his lab, extending his right arm, which is wrapped up in
Iron Man armor from about the elbow down.

Iron Man 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.
