Read the title for what you get here. I found this movie to be hugely entertaining, with the caveat that there are moments that border on the ridiculous.
That said, the 4K image quality is a MASSIVE upgrade to the blu-ray, and the Dolby Atmos track is a stunner.
If you are into mindless popcorn flicks, with the added bonus of top-of-the-line A/V quailty, you need to add this one to your collection ASAP.

If you are a fan of superhero films, this one is a must. It tells the story of a boy who is transformed into a superhero at will to stop an evil madman.
The 4K image and Dolby Atmos soundtrack do not disappoint, as they are at or near the top of the 4K offerings currently available.
If you buy this you will not disappointed, especially given the beauty of the steelbook. Highly recommended to all!

The storyline in this movie is not as great as the one present in the original THOR, but it is still very entertaining.
The 4K image is also greatly improved over the blu-ray version. The detail levels and HDR colors are a definite improvement, and are a sight to behold. In addition, the Dolby Atmos soundtrack is able to "pop" for the majority of the film to an extent that is almost unprecedented in Disney / Marvel 4K films.
This one is a clear winner in almost every regard, especially in comparison to the blu-ray disc. Highly recommended to all!

An outstanding film with the best image available.

This is one of my favorites of the Marvel releases. That said, this, like the Iron Man 4K films released at the same time, has had much of the grain scrubbed away in favor of a more digital appearance. That said, there is finer detail apparent through much of the film and the HDR has rendered much more vivid and beautiful colors when compared to the blu-ray transfer.
The Dolby Atmos track is not going to bring down the house, but it, like the Iron Man 4K films, is at the very least serviceable. Disney has opted for a muted / controlled sound field that rarely allows the bass to explode to a depth that better accompanies the movie at times where it makes sense to do so.
Bottom line: I highly recommend adding this movie to your collection as the video is still an upgrade over the blu-ray due to finer details and HDR color rendering, not to mention the quality of the film itself.

Ivan Vanko seeks revenge for a perceived slight against his father by Howard Stark, Tony's dad. A great movie ensues - one that I highly recommend.
That said, like Iron Man in 4K, the movie's transfer has been largely wiped of grain, courtesy of DNR. The image still contains a great deal of detail, but the altering of grain compared to the blu-ray is obvious. On the plus sign, colors pop over the previous blu-ray release and in that regard the film is a major upgrade.
Like the other two Iron Man films recently released in 4K, this one contains a Dolby Atmos track that is an upgrade over the blu-ray, but that lacks bass forcefulness. This has been a trademark of Disney 4K releases, but the track still gets the job done.
Warts and all, I still highly recommend this one as the best version of the film currently available on the market.

The movie itself tells the a great story of a person from Tony's past that seeks revenge for being snubbed. That said, the 4K image is the best of the Iron Man 4K trilogy, specifically with regard to colors popping out. Image details also receive a slight boost, but not to the extent that you see in the best 4K transfers out there.
The Dolby Atmos track is also serviceable, but received the typical Disney Atmos treatment in that it is not allowed to explode to its maximum potential. The bass doesn't render the "boom" needed in many scenes that require it.
I recommend this one. It is the best version of Iron Man 3 currently available, and the upgrade to picture quality is the best of the three recently-released 4K Iron Man films.

This movie introduces the biggest icon of the Marvel universe, and is one hell of a thrill ride. That said, the 4K transfer provides a modest boost in video over the blu-ray. The application of DNR strips a good bit of the grain away compared to the blu, which is disappointing when you consider that Disney is the company at the helm of the 4K iteration. Colors DO pop a bit more here, though, which is a definite plus.
The Dolby Atmos soundtrack is serviceable, but like a lot of other Marvel 4K's lately, the sound appears to be reined in. I have no idea why Disney continues to do this when the negative public sentiment towards this is quite obvious. That said, the track gets the job done without blowing you away.
In summary: The film itself is amazing, while the picture and audio quality are modest upgrades. I recommend a purchase if you want the best version of the film currently available.

If you are a fan of gonzo action movies, this film is for you. The Dolby Atmos is the star here, as it rocks the house. The 4K transfer is average compared to others out there, but it gives the film a pleasantly unique appearance compared to the one found on the blu-ray. Recommended!
