Just to let you know that the US version of Iron Man has had to be recalled.
http://www.homecinemachoice.com/node/8637



Paramount Home Entertainment has recalled early shipments of the US Blu-ray edition of Iron Man, following reports that the disc locks up certain players. The disc is due to go on sale on September 30, but some web retailers have already received stock and shipped them to customers. We've had a copy at HCC for a couple of days now, and can confirm that the disc locked up while loading on a Samsung BD-P1000 and Pioneer LX-70A. However, it worked fine on a PlayStation3 and Yamaha BD-S2900.

The company claims that the authoring problem causing this only affects certain discs, but has put a full recall into effect, with US distributors being given directions to send back all product. It also promises that replacement discs will be shipped to retailers in time to meet the release date. Hopefully, this speedy turnaround means that the UK won't suffer a similar problem when Iron Man hits Blu-ray over here on October 27.

I've heard from the site I ordered this from in the US that they've already received the correct versions & shipped them out yesterday (Friday).

Yeah, I got a review copy and then about a week later got a replacement for disc 1.  So this is a recognized problem.

it's the early ones which brought up the problem.
I would guess that yours is one which had the problem if you got it early.
