IRON MAN Trailer #2

The second and much longer Iron Man trailer premiered at WonderCon and played in it’s entirety during the commercial breaks of Lost last night and now it’s online in quality HD so we can all dissect and admire the work of Jon Favreau and Robert Downey Jr.

The movie looks so kick ass, this is exactly the kind of superhero movie we needed after seeing some of the other Marvel franchises begin to stutter out recently.

My only concern would be for the CGI battle scenes, something which absolutely plagued Spider-Man 3 to no end. They don’t look bad here but we only get glimpses of them.

I give the trailer for IRON MAN a solid A -

The movie opens on May 2nd.

Love the way it looks but Favreau has Stark making WAY too many jokes. The Punisher suffered from exactly this same problem.
I think Favreau’s background in comedy has poisoned his sensibilities. Same way Joel Schumaker didn’t want to accept that Batman was to be taken seriously.

Im so excited for this film, everything i’ve seen so far i’ve loved. If this turns out to be crap, im gonna be pissed. Iron Man for me completes my list of fave heroes I wanted to see on screen, it seems faithful and unlike Jaysmack I welcome the humor of Stark, it’s whats needed since he is supposed to be a playboy.

They do seem to be advertising the jokes much more than other trailers from previous comic based films. They keep switching between a serious tone and comedic one. My only gripe with it is that I feel we saw too much of what appears to be the final battle.

Seeing this trailer makes me think that the movie is gonna kick some huge big fat ass this summer!
Infact I might even break my rule and go to the cinema for this one.

Tino, I never said the humor was “bad,” I said there was too much of it. Unlike you I’m very comfortable with movies taking themselves seriously. The best movies usually do, it’s the turds that try to go for bellylaughs.
Bay’s Transformers, Schumaker’s Batman, Goyer’s Blade: Trinity, all were total shit for a lot of reasons, but mostly because the tone was all wrong. Or did you think Bayformers was just fine?

Favreau’s a first time director and is clearly VERY uncomfortable with serious fare, so –sadly, predictably- he seems to be tying to force the film into the mold of something he is comfortable with–comedy. How many comic-book based movies have died on that particular hill? Too many to count.
Let’s hope we saw all the jokes in the trailer, this movie certailny doesn’t need more.
