appears to have been released. 2 minutes and 30 seconds. I found it on good ol' RT. Here is a link, it's Trailer #2, the one at the top.

For those who haven't seen anything about this movie, it's starring Robert Downey Jr. as Tony Stark, an alcoholic billionaire playboy. More specifically, it would appear that he is an arms manufacturer in this movie. Gwyneth Paltrow appears as his secretary/girlfriend Virginia Potts.
So yeah, this movie looks like it'll be a good action flick. However, the dialog in the trailer was a bit on the cheesy side, which worries me a bit. However, I counted at least two scenes where Tony was imbibing so we know they've got the character of Tony Stark downpat.
Who's excited for this movie, and what do you lot think about it?

Besides Batman, Spiderman, X-Men, and Superman (For those like me who did enjoy the film), this might rank up there as being a great Movie, and I personally hope it does. I'm also very excited for the video game, it can be horrible, but I will still buy it, just to play as Iron Man.
Looks like a fun action movie. I have no real previous experience reading Iron Man outside of a few Civil War comics and the Avengers movies, so it'll pretty much be a fresh experience to me. I'm hoping it's not too serious, and the cheesy dialogue so far looks good to me.
Hey. Hey! Fuck you.
Not that it's a bad thing, A Scanner Darkly was great for that reason.
Did...did he just say that Christian Bale wasn't charismatic? Let's take that fuckers legs.
Well compared to Robert Downey Jr, its a fair thing to say. It also works for Batman, I mean Bruce is supposed to be an awkward millionare not rico suave.
Seriously. Look at the scene where he's out with the two women at the restaurant, or acting drunk to get people out of his party. He's not charismatic because Batman's a fucking single-minded psychopath that watched his parents killed in front of him. Bale played the role perfectly.
I think the better word would be that he has a presence.
I want to like it, but something seems...off. Alittle forced?
And the suit just doesn't seem as natural as it should, if that makes sense.
I dunno, we'll see. The game looks to be fun, atleast. I just don't want another "THE HULK".
I'll give you that and raise you the scene in the Ultimates where they were all talking about who would play them in a movie. Tony Stark picked Robert Downey, Jr.!
I think RDJr is my main selling point on this film. I have a love for comic book movies, but more often then not they are pretty bad. RDJr is the perfect Tony Stark and I think that puts this one over the tipping point to "Must See". The trailers are a mixed bag, though.
I'm looking forward to the movie. They seem to be keeping to mostly the cannon from the different Marvel universes and the list of actors is encouraging so hopefully there'll be interesting bits besides Iron Man blowing things up.
I mean, opening night jazzed.

Jesus man. That's not right. That's... just not right.
"There is not a man of us who does not at times need a helping hand to be stretched out to him, and then shame upon him who will not stretch out the helping hand to his brother."
Now I have seen the trailers though, I recant it all.
Suave, drunken bastard that he is.
As opposed to the pulitzer like writing in normal comic books.
In the same way that anyone but Bale as Batman is just wrong.
Incredible Hulk's out this summer too.
One comic book movie I could really get behind would be a Dr. McNinja movie. I can dream.
Its ok I was the same way with comic book movies until I remembered that while I enjoyed comics, the writing was not exactly high quality.
Yeah, yeah...I know. I liked the angst, because well...it's the hulk. The effects were great, actors were good, just a bit too long and drawn out with not enough Hulkamania trashing the military.

The new one should truly be incredible, though. Edward Norton <3
Yeah...I've watched all 3 of them and even Spider-Man 3, lame as it was, was passable. Hulk was just abysmal in every possible sense. Bad CGI, bad/boring script and just terribly not good.
Nah, that's just the way they make them. If you actually take the material seriously, you can make some great stuff (see Batman Begins).
So is the shit I left in the toilet this morning. That's hardly high praise.
Are you telling me that the writing in Spider-man 2 wasn't cheesy?

Oh hell yeah it was. But it was pretty highly regarded by a lot of critics, and it had the occasional little gem like this:
I may have gotten slightly misty-eyed while she was delivering that speech. So it is possible for a comic book movie to mix cheesiness and sincerity.

Not that I'm complaining, mind you, I'm just sayin'.
I'm excited for this. Normally I'd rather they keep the Stark scenes to a minimum and focus more on the actual Iron Man, since Hollywood is mask-a-phobic and all, but Downey is frigging awesome in this. If the plot and script end up sucking ass, he'll still carry it. This movie cannot suck ass.
Oh, and am I the only one who laughed out loud at that ending scene with the tiny rocket? Amazing.

That line didn't seem very cheesy to me. No, "I can explain it!" would be cheesy. That was Tony Stark being a fleshed out character.
