Reviews from Letterboxd

1. Rod Lott — ★★★

“Iron Man on an allowance.”

2. Paul Petroskey — ★★★

“The movie is fun and silly. I love seeing Jose Ferrer and Harry Morgan in stuff like this. I only wish there was a comic book version of this film for me to collect.”

3. Sam Prime — ★★★½

“This is basically a bargain basement TV-movie version of IRON MAN.”

4. KillerT_77 — ★½

“Not a marvel movie, but I thought it’d be funny to watch it anyway since those fanmade 70s avengers trailers from a while back used this movie in place of iron man. As for the movie itself… I mean, it’s bad, but I suppose I expected worse.”

5. SilentAlly — ★★★

“This is IronMan if he was moderately wealthy instead of super wealthy. And if instead of rock backing him with every move he has smooth 70s jazz.”
