Hooray for Apple jumping the gun! IRON MAN trailer in glorious Quicktime!!!
Ahoy, squirts! Quint here. Apple wasn't supposed to post this until tomorrow. This trailer premieres on a ton of shitty shows in prime time tonight (Comedy Central excluded... I heart Jon Stewart...).
Yes, it's pretty much an edited down version of the Comic-Con footage... but it sure is purty. And you never got to see it in Quicktime HD before. Damn I love the practical suits!!!
REPULSOR RAYS ON!!!

you heard it
-
But can feel Daredevil coming on. It's just that sort of character.
-
Large amounts of ass WILL be kicked. Looking forward to it.
-
asfg
-
It seems this is already gone. Seriously?! DAMN IT!
-
Robert Downey Jnr in full on cool as fuck mode to the 'Sab going full guns - roll on next May!
-
I damn near did the sex wee when I saw that. May 2008 can't come soon enough!
-
So its Comic-Con footage but still pretty damn cool. I wonder how much Ozzy (Sharon actually) got to let them use that old Sabbath song. Really thought, this is a super hero movie different enough that it will not feel like a retread. Love it and love the possibilities.
-
maybe read a handful of the comics as a youth... but this trailer has definitely got my attention.
-
like a mutha' fucka'
-
How I love Robert Downey Jr.
If I wasn't drunk, I'd pissing myself right now... ::looks down:: aw, hell.
www.youtube.com/eyowzitgoin -
Dinner for Five. Love that show. Would of liked to have seen one with Danny Devito, Nicholson, Michael Douglas and throw in Catherine Zeta Jones. So many possibilities...
-
That is all.
-
Ramin Djawadi will be scoring Iron Man under the supervision of Hans Zimmer! Long live Hans Zimmer!
-
When can we start lining up for tickets.
-
I also can't wait for the countless sarcastic or flatout grumpy junket interviews RDJ's gonna give.
-
Still looks good though.
-
So do all of these crappy superhero flicks when you first see them in the trailers. Not to mention that Iron Man comics are just something you read when you've gone through your whole stack of Avengers comics.
-
Only 9 months to find out.
-
... but other than that-- this thing looks GREAT! Love the shot of Stark running through the desert with the explosions and the fucking visual and audio effects of him in the final suit look and sound fantastic. Was never a huge fan of the Man (he was always something of a second fiddle comic in my opinion) but I want to see this! Good job so far, Fav! Like my opinion of Iron Man as a comic, I've never been a big fan of your stuff but you've got my money now. Pleasant travels to ya, lad!
-
I really am enjoying the glimpses we've gotten of Downey's turn as Stark.
-
After what's going on with G.I.Joe, I'm just a bit worried.
-
Here's to hoping the movie is 1/2 as cool as that trailer.
-
LOOKS VERY GOOD!!!
-
I had some hope for this super-hero flick but this trailer sucked.
Very bad edited and why this stupid music.
Hope it's just the trialer. -
Not an Iron Man fan, necessarily, but it looks like this may be one of the best translations yet. Absolutely ball crunching.
-
Wow, it's about time they made a Jet Jaguar movie.
-
..is not involved with a comic/cartoon project. It looks good.
-
The choice of playing Iron Man over IM's appearance and at the end is just sooooo fuckin obvious. I can imagine a 4th grader comin up with THAT idea. "Hey dude, wouldn't it be, like, cool if, like, when they fuckin showed Iron Man they, like, play Iron Man from Black Sabbath, dude! Fuck Yeah, dude!" I just hope they keep this to the teaser only and outta the movie.
-
Just beautiful. I can't believe they finally might do justice to a comic book superhero perfectly for the first time since the original Superman.
-
...but I'm sold!
-
everything has been done alright so far. but i didnt like the song with the trailer. didnt suit it. please do not kill this to death with more trailer footage of the best bits of the movie like spiderman 3. build up the hype nearer to the movie please!
-
i been wantin to see that since the buzz at conicon!! i cant wait to see it
-
...they should have left the "I am Iron Man" sample at the end out though, way too cheesy lame for an oherwise classy teaser.
-
yeah...seen all the footage before but it still looks great. as far as the song...if you made the iron man movie how could you not use that tune??? so quit yer yappin'
-
Who gives a shit about Tony Stark
-
...is Robert Downey, Jr. wearing more makeup in this teaser than Leslie Bibb and Gwyneth Paltrow combined?
-
I'm not a comic book fan, and had no interest in this movie whatsover until I saw that trailer. The composition is nice, the jokes are funny and not corny, and the Black Sabbath sold me.
-
Never been a fan of the comics, thought the film looked shit, but fucking hell, Downey's performance just totally knocked my socks off. This looks fun as hell :)
(The flying shots still looked a bit lame though) -
Looks awesome, this coming summer may turn out as good as last !!
-
i have to say that this film looks totally awesome was excited before but that trailer looks really good and im definately starting to think that JR was a good choice love the angle he looks to be playing stark pre iron man, a think it will work as a good story arch
-
Very Cool !!
-
kewl!
-
I can only remark, with some surprise, that this looks lovely. Though it has a few too many of those greasy, half-dead corporate movie-making fingerprints on its pretty little face, this feels like what effects-heavy filming making ought to be: transportive.
-
Mmm. Looks like fun. Trailer's pretty schizo tho.
-
just realised who he reminds me of in his little speach to the marines, he is very dennis hopper in that scene anyone agree?
-
so very fly. does anyone have this so I can save it.
-
...they shouldn't have used the Sabbath song. Yes, I love the song, but it just shouldn't be in this trailer.
-
because the scenes of him cruising around up in da clouds look really cool.
-
and a little kick-ass.
-
This trailer has me sold on the movie. I'm seeing this. Downey Jr, had me laughing at the beginning. I'm not sure how convincing it would be for for Stark to build a suit under his captors noses, and the use of the Black Sabbath song was cheese all the way, but beyond that, I'm looking forward to it. I love how when he's flying it's like a jet plane. Seems much more agile than a Superman. - n/a
-
I thought I'd be annoyed with 'Hey Man Nice Shot' but it's really been long enough where the first few chords playing in a trailer didn't bother me. Best use of the song was still in Demon Knight. What? I thought we're talking about songs?!
-
Yeah dude. The Iron Man Movie is gonna be the fucking ULTIMATE!!!! (no goddamn pun intended)
-
..of how kick ass Robert Downey Junior can be when given the right script. Uber cool!
-
the goddamn Black Sabbath song, even though it is a little on the nose.
-
Its The Rocketeer. WooHoo. No Shaky-cam, spastic editing or crappy cg. Please don't suck.
-
... this looks fricking awesome.
-
so, SO damn sweet
-
wow, that trailer was all sorts of awesome. i CANNOT wait!
-
I know you're reading this, Dinner For Five... Do everyone a favour and leave those flight scenes music-free. They are perfect as they are.
-
Don't know why people are moaning about the Sabbath tune being used, cheesy? It's a fucking comic book film, what do you want, Bergman?
-
Iron Man will be the shit. It almost feels like a Superhero film designed to please grown ups. RDJ? Black Sabbath? Not exactly what kids and teens go crazy about.
-
fan-fuckin-tastic!!
-
but what's up with the flying around stuff? Seriously. It felt like shitty Superman Returns all over again.
-
Is this a comedy or something?, with the stupid wisecracks at the start or that lame suit that he just happens to build while he was kidnapped with out his captors knowing! lol. I know next to nothing about the comics or the character so maybe this is true to the comics but that just looked dumb and laughable imo.
-
This is awesome. What can I say!!!! I knew that the combination of Favreau and Downey jr. would hit this one out of the freaking park!!! Totally perfect!!!!!
-
Just kidding. Downey Jr. is a cool cat.
-
.....the part with tony stark fighting the taliban in prototype armour looked hillariou, like something Golan and Globus would have made if they got the rights to transformers.Apart from that though, ironman is looking mighty fine.Cant wait. -
Another couple of hours of the usual war is cool as long as it's the Americans doing the murder propaganda drivel. No thanks.
-
I thought there were too many one-liners and I didn't like the flying scenes much.
-
i can say that with a straight face..... because its true
-
It makes me look forward to the full Dark Knight trailer even more.
-
I'm happy as a little school girl.Yeah BombTwat, that's actually what this movie is all about...American War propaganda. You do realize that Tony Stark learns the errors of his ways, ie the pompous idiot in the beginning of the movie? Ridiculous.
-
not very impressive shots, kinda looks like the Rocketeer, why can't we get in closer on the action? too far away
-
After all, you're basically just re-writing what Stan wrote. But once you get past that you have Iron Man....flying around??? Where's the second half of the movie?
-
Aah right so he is supposed to be a wise ass at the start,i get it now and the trailer does seem a little bit better now. That suit he builds still looks ridiculous though and i honestly couldn't stop laughing when he burst through that door in the suit!, i hope the film makers play those scenes a little 'tounge in cheek' as i think most audiences will find scenes like that hilarious!.
-
if you look closely enough you can see jeff bridges with the shaved head looking at his armor. Should be interesting, but I dont see much of a movie if they're making ironmonger the main villain...i think favreau said something about mandarin but have yet to see anything in photos or footage. LOOKS BALLS TO THE WALLS AWESOME but so did daredevil until that pile of crap hit theatres
-
holy fuckin shit!
-
And she hates comic book movies.
-
AS SHIT NYAGUH!!!!
Cant wait for this hot damn!!! -
heres hoping the movie delivers
-
Looks good, looks fun. I'll be throwing my nine dollars at it. Sure, the Black Sabbath tune is obvious, but so appropriate. And these kids nowadays need to learn that heavy metal didn't begin with Metallica.
-
That looks awesome. Why hasn't Robert Downey Jr. done a superhero role like this before?Beavis and Butthead would love this film. Duh-duh, duh-duh-duh! Duh-duh-duh-duh, duh-duh-duh-duh, duh-duh-duh!
-
"It says here breakfast anytime? I'll have the pancakes...in the age of enlightenment."
-
where he built that suit, in a cave. They didn't want to make it too far advanced looking, at least anymore than a guy in a cave can make a suit to begin with.
-
He looks like the Rocketeer! (Well it is a guy flying around with the assist of rockets in his boots.) That first suit looks ridiculous! (Well, it is bulky and cobbled together from the parts of a missile he was supposed to be building. Did you expect Art Deco? Or perhaps more of an Ikea aesthetic? Manga mecharobo? It's Iron Man's origin - the best mix of homage and realism they could have possibly achieved.) Stark is a dick, and then he's not! (It's called a character arc, and this is a trailer, so of course they're going to focus on the zingers in the dialog - they only have a few seconds to hint at said arc before you flip the channel.)
Face it - this is the most respectful, exciting adaptation of any genre property I've seen in years. My anticipation for this is far above and beyond what I have for the Dark Knight. It looks fun. It looks like they're treating the property with respect. And it looks awesome with the practical effects and, yes, the CGI Rocketeery flying man-in-suit (I love the independently operating control surfaces!). Iron Man is going to be THE movie to see, so stop hating, get off your better-than-thou critique couches, and, oh, I don't know, try to remember what it was like to just look forward to a movie before you became so freakin' jaded. -
props for that. i am so sick of horrible covers by terrible trend hopping bands (like the ghost riders in the sky cover in ghost rider and the transformers theme song cover)
-
If so, then I have never been so hyped for a movie. Jeff Bridges PWNS all!
-
What the FUCK is he saying? I love this trailer, but his fast, mumbling style of delivering the lines confounds me. What the hell is he saying in the beginning of the trailer? Seriously. Anyone? Thanks.
-
...we talkbackers have gave this film. From the first bits of casting news, to now. This has to be a milestone of some sorts. :P
-
There ya go squid.
-
You said it all Dude!thanks!! well done! Like I have said all along... this movie will be perfect!! they know what they are doing. They respect the source material. Amen.
-
Maybe it was the way the trailer was edited, but damn, that was absolutely awful.
-
Been hoping this one would rock ever since AWESOME Robert Downey Jr. was attached. This is looking good! Very good. Just hope it's not just a fluff-trailer. Can't wait, but then again, RDJ is always a treat!
-
I think I said too much.
-
I actually just saw the quote spelled out on IMDB. Now that I know what he's saying, it's actually kind of amusing. This is a fun trailer. Great stuff!
-
I bet you liked Transformers you idiot. I hope they don't play any scenes tongue in cheek, why can't movies just try and take themselves seriously anymore and cut it with the post-modern self-referential wink nudge bullshit
-
I was just kidding around when I was saying are we gonna get to see the old Iron Man suit, but damn, I wasn't really expecting to see it. This movie is gonna rule and I'm not one to be impressed so easily. This is seriously looking to blow all the other Marvel properties (yes even Spiderman) away.
-
was just ok, not great but not bad, what does that have to do with me thinking that early Iron Man suit looked hilarious?. I was just trying to say that scene was laughable and i hope they play it that way (maybe with a few wisecracks from Downey) or i could see audiences laughing at the film in parts for all the wrong reasons, same with the critics.
I'm sorry if i hurt your feeling though. -
I want Tony The Boozer in the sequel!!!
-
Different would mean liking the piece of garbage this was. I loved the comic con footage and editing was superb, but now that you see this in Hi-Res with the horrible acting, I think I might pass on this.
-
You know, like in A CLOCKWORK ORANGE or that recent episode of LOST?
I will say, though, that it's a good thing the actress playing the interviewer at the beginning is attractive because she certainly can't act for shit.
-
Especially since he's been a tremendous fascist dick since CIVIL WAR, so any hopes of bringing in some new IRON MAN fans may be lost unless Tony is revealed to be a Skrull imposter or something.
-
This nearly the same footage as the comic-con clip (minus he explanation of the chest piece), and there was far more acting in that than here, yet you "loved" it.
-
anyone else having issues?
-
RDJ is going to be so good in this, and the trailer's different. And because it's trying to be, points! Thanks for the link and yep, high-definition always makes it better.
-
Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha...you did that thing where you hate something so roundly accepted as being excellent...ha ha ha ha ha snot ha ha chuclke...that never gets old...ahem.
-
The goofy-looking clunky Iron Man suit is straight out of the original depiction of IM's origins in the old Marvel Comics. In that version, Tony Stark is injured while supervising the field-testing of weapons his company developed by the U.S. Army in Vietnam (wisely updated to Iraq/Afghanistan, in my opinion). He is captured by a local military leader who recognizes him and locks him in a lab with a local scientist to build a weapon for him. Stark's life is already on the line because he has a chunk of shrapnel in his chest. He ends up secretly building an armored suit that will act as a life-support mechanism, as well as facilitate his escape. It get tweaked into the slicker, superhero version of the armor when he gets back to the States.
-
Right from the first announcement, it seemed like Marvel made one smart move after another with this one. The director, the cast, that cool as fuck looking suit, and now this excellent teaser. Maybe I'm setting myself up for disappointment but I'm going to leap onboard with just pillow talk and say I am fucking psyched about this film. Please bear in mind I am English and not prone to words like psyched - but I am prepared to give it a go just this once. It's a special occasion!You know, I'm going to put my cards on the table here and say I'm looking forward to Iron Man more than I am The Dark Knight. Maybe it's because it's an unkown quantity and I kind of know what I'm going to get from Nolan's film, but this is the big summer blowout for me.Woo-hoo! Iron Man and that!
-
Favreau made Iron Man LOOK, MOVE, and SOUND 10 times cooler than the Fantastic Four, Doctor Doom and the SILVER SURFER combined! That's how it should be done Marvel suits. Fav just propeled himself into the same league as Raimi and Nolan.
-
Oh you, you are good you are very good. you see what you did there? you hate something that is so obviously excellent. Ha. You are very good.
-
This aint gonna be anything other than a PG-13 cartoon, impressive and all as the suit, visuals, etc were - the main fight seems to be a showdown with a bigger iron-man-suit/robot/whatever it is that is moving much too like the terminator in the original Terminator - could be fun but, ya know, it looks liek its gonna be PG-13 fun...
-
That is all.
-
I am not a Tony Stark fan- he's a true douchebag. Hope he starts drinking again soon. I can't wait until Steve Rogers, Hulk, or Bucky totally kick his ass. But this really looks promising. Really. Now, who amongst you can't wait for IM2 and fucking War Machine to appear!!!
-
I'm not. The trailer was a piece of ever loving... you get the picture. I loved the comic-con footage, but maybe that was because everyone was excited about it and it was crappy quality and the fans cheering. Going along with the flow of it for a bit, but the trailer really does suck. The song is the worst of it.
-
Didn't have much faith in this film... until that trailer. I liked Downey - in the role - he pulls off the aloof playboy to a tee - but it also seems that he can be a bit of a badass as well, albeit with a ton of steel (or is it iron?) strapped to him. Will be first in line for this one.
-
Hiring Matthew Libatique was a stroke of genius. I liked the trailer for the humour and for the visuals, but it felt more like a trailer for fans than for the general public. Is that a bad thing? I don't know, but if they used better music towards the end of the trailer it would have worked a LOT better in terms of building up to an epic climax. As is, it feels like they just slapped on the Black Sabbath song because, hey, it's about Iron Man! It's a little distracting in its corniness.
-
Grr! Can't get my glorious quicktime. Heavy traffic maybe.
-
heavy metal bullshit is for homos. jeff bridges looks kickass in the ironmonger suit.
-
It seems to me that BS "Iron Man" as a background piece is a foregone conclusion. It's a bad-ass, classic, iconic metal anthem, and this is eponymous metal dude we've all been salivating over. If it wasn't here, and it wasn't on the soundtrack (trust that it will be) you'd all be griping about them missing the opportunity, or how they cheesed out on ponying up the cash for the tune.
Iron Man and Iron Man go together - you can't get around it (even though the words don't track with the story). It works well in the limits of the trailer, they didn't overdo it, and it'll be nice to hear it when the end credits are scrolling up in front of my amazed eyes on opening night. -
I gotta agree (minus the humour - doesn't work for me) with brokentusk: it looks like a trailer for the fans. Moreover, for the *suspicious* fans: the whole comic-con footage was supposed to sell us Downey as Stark, as in "I told ya so, he's perfect for the role", but I don't know many fans who weren't already pumped up by this casting choice. The fact that they chose again to focus on Tony, and show just a glimpse of the supporting cast even if Paltrow, Howard and Bridges will be their marketing trump card is beyond me. I mean, I register as a fan so I don't care, but some of my friends (who qualify as "general, mainstream audience") never saw ANY Downey flick except my KKBB DVD and to them the other actors would've been more appealing than good ol' Downey. I'm skeptical about the way Paramount handles this: to keep the teaser at this unusual length, and give more screen time to Leslie Bibb (which is not exactly a waste, but still...) and pass on three fucking oscar nominees including one winner... Strange.
BTW, the CC footage logo was WAYYY better, and the practical shots of the Mk.I are even more amazing in 1080p. -
But the song is still expected and it would be missed where they not to even acknowledge it. Remember the Spider-Man cartoon ditty in the movies? It was neat having it there, and this will be a good move in the long run having a little Ozzy here.
-
Did they take it down?
-
It gives me the "Broken URL" thing, same as George. Oh well.
-
seriously is there a cooler character out there. i didn't think so...
-
I think they took it down. :| None of the links work for me.
-
If you've got some guy in a near-invincible tecno-suit - put some other guy in an EVEN BIGGER techno-suit and let them beat the piss out of each other. See - that's waht Singer was missing in Superman Returns . . .ah . . .wait - that's esentially how they finished off Superman 4, isn't it? Okay, maybe the secret is to make the equally-powered opponent at the end of the movie not look like a complete douchebag. A bald Jeff Bridges? Yeah, that works. Bring on Iron Man!
-
Did they get their wrists slapped and pull it down? Surely someone else's got it up already? In 1080p preferably, thanks.
-
I should have got out of bed sooner.
-
...thanks to the DB/Pro and Marvel split. So I can still say at this point that I've never been a Marvel writer, but I am a small press creator, a subscriber to Iron Man comics, and an artist at the core. So as someone on the 'inside' of the industry I think this movie will be a hit because of it's faithfulness to the material. I'm saddened that the modernization puts this in Afghanistan and not Asia, but Stan Winston's suits look amazing as do the CG FX. If anyone else out there is a fan of comics or of comic book art check out that Adi Granov "punching the ground" pose that they snuck in there.
I hope that this yearss Octo-Butt-Numb-A-Thon attendees liked their copies of The Rift! www.gistudios.com -
damn typos. lol
-
Quicktime as always is buggy as hell so please post the WMP version when available.
-
Those tantalizing bastards dangled the apple in front of me only to take it away. FUUUUUUUCCCKKK!!!!
-
might this be mirrored somewhere?
-
. . . to complain about the CHEESY use of the I.M. song. Still love the trailer. Reminds me of loving the trailer for the Willard remake and excusing the cheesy use of that Smashing Pumpkins song just because it says "rat in the cage." And I just realized, this just might be one of my most enjoyable comic-film experiences because I know NOTHING about the comic. There will be none of my usual anal nit-picking because I'm finally going to see one where I don't know the source material. The only Iron Man story I will ever know will be told on film in 08. Fingers crossed . . .
-
anyone have a link?
-
the suit in the 1080p version is looking awesome.
-
and what's his power?
-
trying to create a direct download right now
-
I'm fraking sold. A bit of an A-Hole Tony, but a very believable one. The Grey suit: dead on. Tony drinking a highball in the desert: Dead on. I'm off to Circuits Maximus to preorder my DVD.
-
This is how it's done. Clown shoe.
-
and about the music: any confirmation of Ramin Djawadi to score the flick? Or is it just fanboy fantasy?
-
and it doesn't fit the movie.
-
Death to Quicktime!
God is Great! -
not getting the love for this trailer, looked okay but nothing special.
Oh, and just saw the footage for the new photo-realistic hulk for the new flick, wholly f&cking sh!t it is awesome. Can alomst guarantee it will look like sh!t when it interacts with real actors though, just like the CGI in this film will.
Batman will rule supreme for the comic book films next year.
-
... I think the ComicCon footage was much better. This feels empty without AC/DC and Black Sabbath, and his whole "weapon you only have to fire once" speech lacks the freshness it had at CC. In this he just sounds tired. I hate when they change stuff that worked fine the way it was.
-
they must be working on it. at least that's what I'm telling myself. The comic con footage looked great, however I wanna see the hi res version, since everything I saw from Comic Con was basically from the internet, and everything was way too dark.
-
Seems Black Sabbath is also providing the tunes for this one, thank god. At the time of my previous comment, it had only downloaded about halfway, so thats gonna be my excuse.
-
did anyone notice that the opening music track was identical to the Spider-Man trailer music? Guess you gotta cut corners somewhere. That being said, this movie looks incredible.
-
I could care less about the character of Iron Man when the project was announced, but everything up to and including this here trailer has made me want to not only go see the movie, but pre-order the DVD already.Hey tech nerds, upload a WMV version or YouTube this already so some of us can watch this at work already. Make it so.
-
great trailer, great use of sabbath,finally...they're gonna get a superhero movie right!(well,they did with the crow...but thats it)oh and maybe the first half of spiderman.....and a bit of batman begins....maybe some of x-men2...but thats it!!
-
..above the 480p versions. Don't know if it's our systems, our connection, or us not having QT "Pro" causing the trouble, but stll the 480p one ain't bad lookin'. Try that one.
-
I was never a big Iron Man fan. My brother was. But RD Jr. looks like a genius choice, and the costume looks good. I have doubts that Favreau is the director to pull this off, but I'll wait and see. It'd be nice to see a good superhero movie again.
-
C'mon, you guys. It's good but it's not that fucking good. Favs has his MySpace friends and himself tapping on these boards nonstop.
-
The Comic-Con take of "only have to fire once" is much better. Put it back in.
-
watch it all.
-
... went to Children of Men Battle Sequence Filming Summer Camp.
-
isn't about violence, you squirrel eating rednecks have to accept that superman is about SAVING people, not beating people up. SR superman didn't throw ONE punch, and thats a good thing.
-
RDJ is going to punch your balls off.
-
for a nice 30 second look at the sequel. We get the ugly grey suit for most of the movie.
-
Sep 10, 2007 12:14:25 PM CDT
I can already tell that I will not like that movie.
by -guyinthebackrow
Why can't they just make a smart, serious, adult superhero movie? I'll pass on this child-like, PG-fluff and hold out for THE DARK KNIGHT.
-
I never read Iron Man and I'm not much of a RDJ fan, but the trailer really makes the movie look like it could be fucking awesome (which is what a good trailer is supposed to do) My expectations have just been raised. But I've been hurt before, so I'm just going to keep chanting,'please don't suck, please don't suck, please don't suck'
-
I had an outer-body experience.
-
And the stereotypical Arab villains don't help either.
-
I just got a mental image of the sort of person that types these words with a straight face. Best laugh I've had all day.
-
See? Funny. Probably not as funny now that the mumbling got in the way...I caught it the first time round...and if you're worried...wait for DVD and watch it with subtitles! See? Everyone wins!
-
yeah I can't help but feel like this one is going to be another F4, Electra or Ghostrider. Such an awful trailer.
-
Come on, people! If that trailer was from a movie made by Tim Story you'd all be SCREAMING for his head! Cheesy music, terrible looking animatronics (did you SEE how that suit moved???!!!) and bad one-liners!!!!
Yes, it's great that Favs is Harry's friend, but this is a huge disappointment. -
If the trailer's any indication, the quippage in this one is at Wheedon-esque levels.
-
Marvel should be paying this guy to do all their franchises if this movie actually is as good or better than the trailer they just released!!!The hell with Raimi, Tim Story, and the rest them...
-
There ARE actual Arab villains hiding in the mountains and caves of Afghanistan right now! Its shocking, I know. I think one of them just released a video recently or something...
-
...and try to get some negative buzz going. Hate all ya want, that was one of the best trailers in years.
-
Superman is about saving people, but ALSO about beating the bad guys. It has been that way since 1938. There has never been a Superman that behaved like the sad representation of the character Singer and Co. gave us last year.
-
I'm guessing that the "stereotypical Arab villains" didn't do it for you?Oh ok, I guess we'll go with .. hum... OH! Autralian Backpackers!! Yeah now that's a threat !!! Wake up, most terrorists these days are arabs... Doesn't mean that they all are for those of you who will jump at this!... I've got an algerian uncle who's figured out that he ain't in his home country so now he lives as any other north american would live.But the state the world is in right now, most of the bombs that are explosing in cities are caused by their Muslim Movement who can't figure out that their religion is not the only one in the world and they just can't accept it so they blow shit up killing innocent lives. Then you add a crazy ass President who's as crazy as them going in and getting military people killed for the sake of a buck.The arab terrorist works fine with this picture, just like when Iron Man was created, they were in Vietnam and the bad guys were Vietnamese. Would you have said the same thing if you went back then? Who the hell would you have liked to see be the bad guys to go to war against in this movie? Suedes? Mexicans? Scots? Turkish? Don't be ridiculous...Favs just made this movie as of today so, we're in the desert go with that story line... In 20 years from now if they remake the Iron Man origin story, they'll use whoever is out there battling it out with some other country... Welcome to Movie Making... If you can't figure that out... go to sleep...

And the stereotypical Arab villains don't help either.
In all fairness, they aren't Arabs. They are Afghans. -
All the versions seem to crash or don't finish downloading.

GOtta agree here with you again 'bout the good Superman represents. And the fact he did not throw a punch.But at the same time Singer crapped all over the character's essence. Perry should be more aggressive with his journalists, here he looks like he's on medication; Jimmy is just a "gosh oh golly Mr Kent" type of dumbass character with no soul; Kent was closer to the animated corpse of Bernie with his 7 lines of dialogue and continuously doing nothing else than hanging around Jimmy at the planet or at the bar, oh and escorting Lois out to a cab..; Lois is a shitty mother who brings her son to dangerous situations and she's freaking 17 yrs old with a 5 yrs old son and a Pulitzer?; Superman is a Peep Freak who looks in other people's homes. So yes, Superman is about good and all, but Singer's Supes ain't good.

didn't anyone learn anything from Adam West !!!!!

How could you NOT use Sabbath in at least a trailer? And when it really kicks in at 1:40? Awesome. Although I do miss that overhead bed shot from the comic-con clip.

the trailer^^

to solve sectarian violence. thankfully watching this briefing on fox news is now finally paying off.in other news, the trailer looks awesome. I can't wait. detractors please move to the mtv awards show talkback post haste.
-
but thankfully this site doesn't allow editing previous posts.
-
Very very nice. Robert Downey Jr's line delivery in this trailer had me laughing. I can't wait to see what the rest of the movie has to offer.
-
Other wise I would have had to talk loads of shit on the board, something that there is quite enuff of.
-
...I might end up having to go see this. The effects look awesome! Damn you, Favreau.

Trailer was very good though

Must be the first superhero film where I'm more interested to see the character out of their suit than in it - Downey will fucking rule next year.

I really wish they would have stuck with Vietnam and kept it out of modern times.
Why does every superhero film have to be "updated" for the masses? I'm not saying I didn't like what I saw, but it's time to start doing these films right, and stick to the fucking source material. -
Awesome!
-
I want Iron Man with lasers and Repulsor Beams and stuff. Making the film a period piece would limit Stark's technology.
-
I heard the opening bars of one-hit-wonder Filter, the "hey man nice shot" song we all know from every 90's action movie while Stark is hammering the metal in the terrorist workshop, and I audibly GROANED, but then, NO! It's not wussy-ass Filter! It's Duuu Duuu Du Du Duuuu! IRON MAN for the IRON MAN TRAILER!!! hilarious. I'm there. I would have liked to see some repulsor ray action though.
-
I never was the biggest Iron Man fan as a kid, but damned if that doesn't look like it could potentially be one of the best comic-to-screen films yet! (I do wonder, with the casting of Robert Downey Jr, they didn't make Tony Stark's heart problems stem from years and years of booze and blow). Man that just looks super cool, like the Fonz with a tattoo of Roy Orbison on his ass cool!
Next Summer is shaping up to be killer with Bats and Jokes, Starkie boy, and Crystal Skulls. Hopefully they live up to expectations moreso than the flicks from this summer's sequel flooded affair. -
After the Sci-fi Channel Movie of the Week quality to FF and Spidey, this trailer has set my 'nads a blazin'. I'm sure everyone had the same reaction when Favreau got the gig..."hmmm, not my first choice, but interesting...." This trailer screams volumes. Marvel head office honchos be damned, this movie looks dead-on.
Er, I hope. I think my fingers will atrophy if they remain crossed until May... -
with Cap. If it can be done with just the right balance of Ultimates and classic Avengers it can be perfect. And for God's sake, start promoting some connectivity between the other franchises. Someone needs to fix the FF, badly. What a horrible waste - those movies could be HUGE.
-
I don't what planet you're from, but we eartlings think they look spot fucking on.I like it, but I wouldnt have shown the interim Iron Man suit that he escapes in. It would have been nice to see the big build up and reveal for the final suit. Totally impressed, for sure.
-
All right, you have one of THE most well known, iconic heavy metal songs ever that's titled "Iron Man", one that pretty much every Marvel comics reading kid in the world has identified with the superhero for decades ( even though it doesn't have anything to do with Marvel's charecter as has already been established here earlier ) & you really expect the filmmakers to NOT use it 'cause some folks might think it's "too obvious" or ( God Forbid! ) "cheesy"? C'Mon!
And the use of "Arab villians" is cliche? On top of the film looking "too military friendly"?
Um, the charecter of Tony Stark is an international arms dealer & industrialist. With HEAVY emphasis on the arms dealer part. He has been since the charecter was concieved by Stan Lee back in the early sixties.
So, how exactly were they supposed to adapt Tony Stark aka IRON MAN to the screen without making him "military friendly"?
As for the film's early villains being from the middle east, again, how exactly were they supposed to update the charecter & show the origin of Ironman without doing so?
Last I knew billionare weapons designers & manufacturers for the USA aren't welcomed in North Korea, so THAT wouldn't have worked ...
Lastly, what's with all the griping about the "silly looking" grey armor "mach 1" suit? It's a beautiful rendition of the source material's original suit.
Saying it's "silly" is pretty much like calling Kal-El's arrival in a spaceship on a Kansas farm "silly". Of course it's not exactly believable, it's an adaption of a comic book! The very idea behind enjoying such is a suspension of one's disbelief.
-
damn straight. perry was lackluster jimmy was pointless, and an anorexic 15 year old cannot have a child that is ten. my heart murmured in the last shot.. leather skinned polar express cg, cloud from ff7ac was better.
-
The trailer looks great. I hope the movie does not pull a Spidey 3 on us. A fricking shame on Spidey 3.
-
yeah!!! totally 'ame-ass!' but really, no offense.. heavy metal is for those who were fiddled with as children.
-
this trailer can't cure parkinson's.
-
like R&B.
-
It true I have settled down and just married the trailer.
Sigh. -
but that film sucked.....RDJ is great as a cocky tony stark.
-
I will NOT be seeing this. They can't even get the font right for the "Iron Man" title. What a bunch of fucking amateurs, sticking it to us fans once again...
-
is called "music is crap" from custard. cos it is.
-
yes you will. but yeah, that font was nasty, didn't the comicon footage show a more traditional logo?
-
That was badass !
-
get the fuck out of here ... this is gold, and alot of love went into this movie, i was there when john first showed the trailer at the paramount presentation, a few days before he was supposed to and trhe crowed was electric the trailer was awsome and it was a real honor to have been there to see it iron man was the talk of the whole con and i went again when the cast was there and they where blown away by the ass kickerey that was shown ..... so stop hating just to be different, cause your not cool .... your just ass
-
ive had enuf of u whiny losers that cant stop complaining about one thing or another...."waaaa its too close, i cant see anything, cant we get a wide shot" "waaaa its too far away, cant we get up close" "cameras too shaky, i got no equilibrium, so i cant tell whats happening" get off transformers dick too, its proven itself a great movie, it beat out pirates 3 domestically... there was nothing wrong with ghost rider either...and for those saying it looks like rocketeer, as if they copied it.. u just show how old u really are...iron man was flying around with rocket boots for a long time b4 disney came up with that crap...
what we should all be mad at is how gi-joe is becoming a mess, with the writers and producers fear that they cant sell a movie with "american heroes" just another thing to blame on that lame duck, brain dead, war mongering president that , thank god , will soon be out of office... -
It looks fucking awesome. All hail the summer movie victorious in 2008!
I knew RDJ and Favreau wouldn't let us down. Have at it, fellas. -
Hold it! That's Spider-man!
What, you think you're some kind of rocket scientist?
Yes.
Sorry.
(Paulie Shore best get a cameo in this, that's all I know...) -
I ms by no means an Iron Man expert, but did I see a quick shot of a third suit?
We had Ned Kelly suit - then we had the one we all know and love BUT a quick flash of a different one
Help??? -
and yes, another poster has it right: He does fly better than Superman.
-
Good superhero movies only happen when a fan of the comic gets to direct it(Rami&Spiderman, RR&Sin City, Snyder&300) with the exception of singer and the x-men movies.
-
but i bet the movie itself will be cool. i cannot fucking believe the use of the sabbath song, though. hey man nice shot would have worked a lot better for what they were going for.
-
This looks to be excellent. Downey is the man...Iron Man! ! !
-
looks nice
-
They should have went all out and played War Pigs for the first section (and then maybe Changes for the transitional suit building portion). Anyway, it looks great and the flying scenes are awesome. I also liked that they seem to keep the 2nd half of the film mostly under wraps for now. Anyone know if The Mandarin is making an appearance?
-
at the possibility of a comic book super hero movie actually not sucking!
-
Its not necessary for Favs and fans to saturate this TB with glowing reviews if that is the case. The trailer stands on its own.
-
changes!! that is the first time i have laughed all of this shitty day. thanks man.
-
...TO CHEW GUM AND KICK ASS. AND HE'S ALL OUTTA GUM :-)
-
It's just right amount of the song to keep it from going overboard. And it suits the tone of the trailer (all the one-liners). "I am Iron Man" over the logo at the end... it's the kind of thing that plays well to a theater full of people (non-geeks included) It let's you know right away that the movie is gonna be a ride. It went over like gangbusters at Comic-Con. If it ain't broke, don't fuck with it.
-
Notice that he's drinking on the job at the beginning.
-
and this trailer looks spot on. I have a really good feeling about this movie.
Downey is perfect and Bridges always plays a great villian/ bad guy. -
They had the balls and the goddamn good sense to use the original Sabbath song, not some jerkoff cover by Good Charlotte!
-
PLANNNING HIS VENGEANCE
THAT HE WILL SOON UNFOLD!!
NOW THAT'S A TRAILER, JUNIOR!
-
I Cannot FUCKING WAIT for this. It looks totally fucking awesome. CAN"T! WAIT!!!
IRON MAN WILL PWN SUMMER 2008. -
He goes "Shit.. skinny doorway... oh well..." And blast himself a wall hole! What did you expect? The Iron Man song... So!? I felt it was funny and good to use at the same time. Thumbs up for letting them use it in this movie!
-
You are the Man! Thanks for the links, dude.
Finally saw it at 720 and I'm all warm and squishy inside. -
seriously, horrible trailer. horrible.. the last 30 seconds is just shots of him flying around in the sky. great... and playing the song 'iron man'?? so fucking campy and queer. seriosly.
-
If that is the teaser then what will the full length trailer be? The whole movie?
-
That was amazing. IRON MAN WILL OWN YOUR ASS.
-
He seems just as arrogant as dennis miller

I liked it. -
if you wanna be all negative and shit stay home that weekend ...

There's enough copies lying around to melt and mold into his bright red armor...

I can't wait to see this and looks like I'll be eating crow for not digging the casting.
Oh, well.
http://tinyurl.com/2jfv4d -
then killed me that it's not out for six months. Now I'm dead.
-
but I'm going to see this. I just hope he doesn't use my money to buy tons and tons of cocaine.
Robert, don't fall off the wagon. I'm trusting you. -
I didn't mind the fact that there are Middle-Eastern terrorists in this movie. I mean, it WOULD be nice if one day Hollywood would make a movie that doesn't make us all out to be "Koran-thumping terrorists" or "decadent sultans of evil" (I kinda like that last one, actually ^_^ ).
Truth be told, it really doesn't matter as long as the story is done right. I have some Southeast Asian friends who enjoy Iron Man comics; they don't care that his comic origin involved being captured by Vietnamese terrorists, they just like the character and the stories.
I grew up reading American comics. My mom grew up reading mostly American comics. My entire Muslim family (Indian and Pakistani, I was the first American born) loved American comic books. And we didn't mind any of the "racist" shit. It was all good entertainment that didn't want to offend anyone. And that's what I think this movie is.
I liked this trailer (I went apeshit when Sabbath played). I'm gonna go see the fucking movie. And if sometime between now and then, someone makes a movie that doesn't have stereotypes, I'll go see that too...if it looks good. ^_~ -
And it's good to see Robert Downey Jr. in a multi-million dollar movie.
-
He has been a fascist lately (and yes, he is the most interesting character in comics right now), but he's not really a right wing nutjob. Neither is he on the left. Really he's a centrist, but tends to overplay his hand on the powerholic/benevolent fascist tip.
-
There are going to be lots more fair-minded movies like that in the future, methinks. Maybe even a comic book movie.
-
Aye. I read the book, and I thought it was pretty good. So I'm looking forward to the movie as well. ^_^
-
Goddamn. Give that man more money and set him loose on John Carter of Mars!
-
I don't think 11.50 will buy RDJ very much cocaine.
-
looked pretty damn good to me. I understand all the cut to black with audio moments that all modern action trailers have.
But I'm there.. very nice.

Looks seriously good so far. Here's to March 2008.
-
And Iron Man bursts jets of flame! He fights and rights with repulsor rays!
Would some of you really preferred that be the music over the trailer? Puh-lease, Sabbath's I.M. song is incredibly appropriate and most cool for the film. I'm sure they'll just use it in the end credit roll, like the classic Spidey cartoon theme.
The trailer has started to restore my faith in Marvel movie adaptations. Let's hope this isn't just a case of premature ejaculation and Paramount blowing their load on the trailer.
Lastly whoever speculates that the Mark III armor appearance is simply a teaser at the end for the next film, look at the state of the armor while it's being tailed by those jets, it's got some battle scars on the helmet. There's gonna be some serious fighting going on in that armor. -
strange.
-
Does anyone have an alternate page to view this? Someone please throw it up on YouTube, so we'll at least get an hour or so to see it.
-
Yeah for more FUN movies that creators don't have to be so brainiac over.
-
but the trailer is shiny
-
Wake up, UnTrue Believers! That Black Sabbath IRON MAN tune was for the masses that grew up hearing it all over the world. More people know that tune (vaguely or whole-heartedly) than know of Iron Man the Marvel Comic book character. It's a brilliant use of a pop (yes, its heavy metal statis achieved that decades ago) tune that gets the message out along with a tremendous trailer by Marvel and Co. My armoured helmet is tipped to the Mighty Marvel Marching Society on this one!
-
Yeah, I had a glitch 3/4 of the way through with the trailer in 480 size HD. I'm running QT on my Mac AGP Sawtooth 450 upgraded to a 1.5 G. I quit QT and came back after a few hours and it downloaded fine. Try it again.
-
But the movie could be balls-awesome.
-
Sure the villains are stereotype, but that's because we are currently at war with plenty of people like that. If these film was in the 40's German Nazi's would be villains, and in the 70's the vietnamese. I don't think there is a problem with stereotypes in this case because it is also a reality. Like I said I don't have a problem with muslim's in general but if you are testing a weapon in the middle east right now you probablly aren't gonna get attacked by the Swiss Army.

Proof that you people will bitch to no limit...
by gandalf the redwhiteandblue
This was perfect right down to the black sabbath theme.
-
I saw the marvel animated movie and this trailer started off like it then it blew it away. I guess when it looks real it's the shit
-
Yeah, that's exactly what I wanted to see. Mark III armor flying high and fast. I think I might even be able to tolerate Gwyneth Paltrow in this. And how cool is it that Jeff Bridges is cast in this? He kicks ass. Got everything going for it.
-
The trialer is off the fucking charts! despite my previous skepticism of Downey as Stark,I think he'll pull it off just fine.
Now there's still the question of why
Obadiah Stane is the baddie instead of the Mandarin. Stane=generic Lex Luthor.
Nuff fuckin' said. -
That thar was one mighty fine lookin' preview of a movin' picture show!
-
I know I know, Tim Story isn't a "real" director like big boy, so this movie is automatically better. But im telling you, FF 2 looked "cool" too. I thought some of this was kind of stupid, actually. The whole battle scene in particular.
-
what is the deal with the idea "if you don't think this looks good don't give it money on its opening weekend by going to see it?" if you are so excited about it wouldn't you want it to make as much money as possible so we get iron man 2 (maybe that trailer will feature a subplot in which he has to compete in the Iron Man triatholon? crossing my fingers over here...)
-
Did someone say it wouldn't be on during Daily Show? Cause it was ad took up the whole commercial break.
-
...I'm usually a hater. Mostly because I'm more intelligent and creative than everyone else, so their product rarely satisfies my standards. However, some of these complaints have to be a joke. The song...well, fair enough. I don't see the harm in it being a little cheesy, but othes may. Arab villains, in Afghanistan? Do you think they should make the villains Americans, and re-cast stark as an Arab instead...or what? That complaint confuses me. I also don't understand why they want a period piece flick so bad. I suppose you could chalk that up to slavish, unimaginative devotion to the source material. But holy fucking hell, choosing to not see a picture based on the fucking FONT in a teaser trailer. Jesus, your either joking, or a fucking spastic. Then again, the way this site carried on in the lead up, you would think this Teaser and all its content was the finished film.
-
I sometimes piss-write that phrase into the snow every winter.My money is on this and Dark Knight to be the "hits" next summer, unless we get a sequel to Epic Movie.
-
Same basic scenes, but the takes shown at San Diego had Downey more cocky and proud when giving his "America" speech, which was much cooler. I DID like the his drinking brandy afterwards, though, saying "Here's to peace."Looks good, and, of course, the Black Sabbath anthem just puts it over the top. Smart move.

Looks nice so far.
And just from the looks, the first Suit just gave me the feeling, like he's a Tank - Not the fastest, but actually the strongest.
But, well, it seemed a little bit under Transformers in terms of the CGI for me.
But well, it looks awesomely enough for me to buy a Ticket for that.
BTW: I've been 2 times in Cinemas for Transformers, and i really hope It'll get a release before XMas here in Germany. -

All that way away and they've got my money already...
by impossibledreamers
Oddly, Downey Jr. was probably a really good pick for Tony Stark.
The origin rewrite is a nice, modern touch... though a little political. But, it's a good way to bring Tony to the 21st century.
WJ -
Mother of God, not another comic book hero. Geeez...when will it end. One after another, each more boring than the one before. How can anyone over 18 enjoy any of this crap?
-
Hopefully never : )Some of the greatest stories of my childhood are from comic books (ok I still read some on occasion in adulthood too.) These characters are part of our culture. I do agree that some of the movies from comics have been crappy but there are some good ones too.... The Road to Perdition, Batman Begins, A History of Violence, V for Vendetta to name a few. Hope this one is great also!!
-
Proof that people will bitch about anything even if it follows the source material. First of all, someone said it "looks" too military. Well here's a revelation, Tony Stark=Arms manufacturer. As far as Iron Monger is concerned.....readfor yourself. It's all comic book based.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iron_Monger -
Black Sabbath Rules. Metal Rules. IronMan Rules. Downey Rules. Bridges Rules. This Rules.
-
And Favreau seems to be Ruling Supreme.
Iron Man avoids some of the sillier pitfalls of the characters that have to wear their underoos on the outside when they work or who rely on being magic aliens or "mutants". -
In the latest version of the comic (non-ultimate), Tony got injured in Afghanistan. Back in the 80's it was Vietnam, back in the 60's it's Korea. Sure the Movie could have made it Bosnia or Somalia if they wanted to make it PC, but it's the modern world the Middle east is where we are now and the conflict is there. The movie didn't take any liberties that the comic book already did to update itself to this day and age. Except now it seems Stark's fellow prisoner isn't Asian anymore.
-
Looks like the US soldiers in this movie came straight off the set of Transformers.
-
I dunno...serious "Robocop/Robocop 2" vibe, especially when you see baldy Malkovich tinkering away with his own villainous bigger, badder version. Golly gee, I wonder if that's the big finale showdown? Here's the plot in a nutshell: 1. Hero discovers (or in this case, builds) his superpowers, 2. Hero wows the ordinary citizenry with his superpowers and heroics, 3. Charismatic Archvillain with a complicated but evil plan becomes obsessed by Hero and his powers and comes up with his own version, 4. Archvillain traps Hero, beats the living shit out of him, leaves him for dead, 5. Hero pussies out and mopes for a while, 6. Hero recovers, and is inspired to take on Archvillain and beat the shit out of him in return. The End.
-
if the movie unfolds the way you say, your point# 3 will be very weird for me because the "other version" of Ironman is Warmachine... which should be made by Tony Stark, not the bad guy. Er I guess I should note that if Warmachine is already established as the bad guy, I didn't know. Ultimately, I hope this movie offers more than your outline.
-
It's like, you've actually SEEN other movies before! I'm so impressed I might shit! And you seem to be able to RETAIN a certain amount of MEMORY of these other movies you've watched! Shiver me timbers!!
-
never read a comic in my life, Iron man or otherwise...but this looks pretty damn good...some funny lines, decent action, and a director that might actually concern himself with characterization? sold!
this reminds me of the previews for the first X-Men, where the comic geeks were drooling, and I was like, "looks pretty damn good!"if you get the geek audience, AND people like me, you've got a great opening weekend... -
I'm pretty sure that's supposed to be "Iron Monger," a.k.a. the Bad Guy of the movie.
-
Using "Iron Man" as a promotional tool seemed like one of the few foregone conclusions about this movie before it was even being made. Now it might be kind of goofy if it's used somewhere in the movie, but as something to get the juices flowing during a preview, it seems okay to me.
-
that trailer sucked BALLS! for reals.. if that's the best thing they could cut from a 2 hours movie? seriously.. balls.
-
All you haters can die.
-
Stark is not really a douche in the origins. He's a spoiled idealistic kid in a old fashionned, patriotic way. He's an ass to the chicks only. But these years have been changed and retconned so many times that whichever way he's portrayed onscreen, no one could really say it's "spot on" or "off the mark" (same as the meaningless pro/anti Black Nick Fury feud): it's just an adaptation, a particular choice among many other possible ones.
But basically no, he wasn't *that* arrogant in the first years. Unreliable and reckless, but no gigantic asshole. -
it would have been awesome. AWESOME. But no dickless exec would ever greenlight it, not in this dimension.
I can't help but think guys like Bond or Stark lost half of their interest when the Berlin Wall fell apart. Someone earlier said it would be stupid because of the lack of advanced technology, to which I respond that unless comes May 2008 repulsor technology and miniaturized personal ramjets are developped (which I highly doubt), this assertion is irrelevant. I could suspend all my disbelief - and a bunch of yours - for a serious IM movie set in the 80's zeitgeist. Complete with Soviet Super Soldiers, a fight in the Czernobyl no man's land, and a victorious climactic battle on the top of the WTC. THAT would be a real american hero, without cheesy "Austin Powers" humour or cheap cynicism. -
he has a knack for Truth, Justice, and... y'know, all that useless stuff.
-
the flying scenes first reminded me of ROCKETEER. Must have been the "helmet thing." I'm also still a purist and pissed it's set in the ULTIMATE universe and not the TRUE Marvel Universe where Nick Fury doesn't resemble Mace Windu with an eye patch and is a few shades lighter and looks more Mel Gibson-ish.
-
Are doing a good job of preventing arabs/Muslims/iraqi's from ever liking them. Why do they always stereotype them as some inbred idiots who are just out to destroy the rest of the world...? If you ask me it's lazy Storytelling and damn lazy film making. That trailer looks rubbish anyway. Count me out!
-
sooner or later a perfect TB stranger, a guy who never met you in real life will label you as a racist for stating such things. Next time don't forget the "...on a sidenote, I'm black" disclaimer, or any other PC BS.
Me? I'll stick to what I said: there are no such things as "Earth 616" or "Ultimate Universe" in the movies. Let's call it the "Favreauverse". -
As countless others have said, make it seem hokey and cheesey. Coulda been better as a serious, darker trailer.
-
in the middle part (the Ozzie song) didn't work for me. I liked the "I am Ironman" part but the song seemed to cheapen the whole thing IMHO. Anyway, I'll see it.
-
Quicktime is great man? Come on! It should be a crime not to use quicktime.

Plus I'll take the Sabbath playing over trailer instead of Linkin Park or another band of their ilk every time.

If it's not Linkin Park or Nightwish, it's generic Lord of the Rings-style rip off score with choir, cut to loads of flashing images you can't make out while individual title cards spell out "THIS. SUMMER. PREPAIR. TO. SHOOT. YOUR. LOAD. IN. TO. YOUR. OWN. FACE." Building up to a climax presumably designed to make veiwers go into a seizure. That was a refreshing teaser, and the film looks fucking ace!
-
mostly positive reviews here but anyone who has the slightest complaint about that trailer and doesnt hate superhero movies is officially a moron(you even get a certificate for you're blatant stupidity),the pacing, the tunes,the action....spot on.maybe with the 'filter and 'sabbath tunes it was more rock friendly but still....perfect(even if rob d has obviously been watching a few too many al pacino performances!)

trailer did not impress and why the backlash on Spidy3
by theycallmemrglass
There is something very mundane about it. No soul. I also cant believe why Spiderman 3 is knocked so badly. Spiderman has always been about a geek who has super powers - the films delivered on that premise with soul, great action and humour. Superman Returns was not bad either, soul was there but humour was a bit forced but the action scenes were brilliant. I dont understand why such a major backlash on such great entertainment. Iron Man traile doesnt rock anywhere as those of Spiderman and Superman trailers - doesnt even come close to the Rocketeer trailer! So while I hope it will be a good movie I wont be hyped up for it based on this trailer.
-
I hardly remember the movie itself...
-
it's rare that I can actually like a super hero that flies. I vaguely remember the last time I thought that sort of thing was cool, and that was when Superman came out (I was a wee lad). Seeing Iron Man fly in that trailer made me feel like that kid again.
-
I just wanted to get people's attention. It looks really good. I'll leave it open to speculation until I finally see it.
-
as far as possible from the old Gough/Millar script it's OK. These guys should rot in hell.
-
Like I said, I really don't have a problem with showing Stark being abducted by Middle-Eastern terrorists in place of Vietnamese; especially given the politcal-economic background of IRON-MAN comics (if he wasn't fighting communists, he was fighting executives). As I was saying, maybe sometime in the near future we may get some movies that don't stereotype ANY ethnicity. Until then though, I'm just going to go ahead and look forward to this one. ^_^
-
...it's not set in EITHER the Ultimate or "real" (Earth-616 to those nerdy enough to pay attention) Marvel Universes. It's set in the Iron Man: The Movie Marvel Universe. It's its own entity. Relax and enjoy it.
-
looks like some goofy fun.
-
Perfect... Downey plays Stark perfectly. I'm counting down the days already. Hopefully this will be a template for all future comic book translations.

Did IM just Dump Out Blue Ice During The Flying Scene?
by ripper t. jones
seriously
-
I'm just saying...or Spidey 2 or X2
-
You certainly cannot compare a movie trailer to an entire movie (like Batman, X2, etc). After all, Spidey 3 trailer looked pretty damn good, actually movie...not so much.
-
is what makes it fun. It should make you laugh and say, "Haha, of course they had to use that!" See, it's sort of a joke. It, again, indicates that perhaps there is something "fun" about this movie. I guess for some comic book fans fun isn't allowed. Last time I read a comic draining any and all fun out of superheroes was the Identity Crisis/Infinite Crisis series. I dunno, I guess I just prefer my superhero tales free of decapitations, dismemberment and rape.
-
... the best comic book movie ever. I've been a big fan of RDJ since Home for the Holidays.
-
why so many people are saying that Iron Man is a second tier hero in the Marvel verse? He's hands down one of the most powerful of all the heros, PERIOD. Because he can increase every power available to him---because it's technology, it can be upgraded.
-
I believe it was Favreau that said "imagine having a fighter jet as a suit" about Iron Man....I didn't think they'd SHOW that side of it. The trailer is amazing, and it's the finest representation of a comic character VISUALLY that I have ever seen. Period. They really did their homework, and respected the character. Simply amazing
-
Dont we all remember the trailers for Spiderman 3, Matrix: Reloaded, etc...
-
It would be like using the Neil Hefti Batman theme for Batman Begins or the 60s Spider-Man theme in that movie. (I know they used it briefly, but for comic effect). Also, the Sabbath song has NOTHING TO DO with the Marvel character.
-
But I totally marked out for the scene with the fighter jets. Frakkin awesome.
-
Did you actually watch the trailer/have knowledge of Iron Man in the 616? That's some TALES OF SUSPENSE shit right there.
-

-
did not get me as excited as the trailers for the movies listed, even the Dark Knight teaser did it for me, also people have crowned this the best comic film ever NOTHING in this trailer suggests it's as good as the Nolan Bat film, Spidey 2 or X2, or even the Crow...
-
I thought that teaser was shit. It felt very ridiculous and really rubbed me the wrong way. Even the footage of Iron Man and the fighter jets (which was the coolest part of the teaser) was boring as hell! Were they flying with him? Attacking him? If you're going to tease us with an air fight at least show us a fucking missile chasing him or something that's actually cool! Hopefully i'm jumping the gun here. I realize it's just a teaser, but it was very dissapointing. And the music - pathetic and laughable! If anything this teaser has made me want to see the film less. I just hope the real trailer will blow my mind and psyche me up for this film, because right now i could care less about it. Please don't dissapoint, Favreau!
-
Love that teaser more every time I see it. It puked on my balls and ate out my girlfriend.
Now here is the final trick to keep it out of the sewer. One villian, and one villian only. Mandarin, fine. Sentient secondary suit, fine. Old school android human torch, fine. Fin Fang Foom, be my be my baby. Just make sure you don't go down the Batman/Spiderman road and clutter up a film with too many damned villians.
-
The use of the Black Sabbath song is a little silly, yes. But to compare it to the 60's Batman and Spider-man theme songs is a tad unfair.
Because the Black Sabbath song, while perhaps not fitting the actual superhero at all, is still pretty badass. Whereas the 60's superhero theme songs are...kinda lame.
The song itself was fairly well used in the trailer. It's only when the title came up against "I am Iron Man" that I thought there were going to far. -
...is that the pseudo-intellectuals who worship at the balls of Chris Nolan (who, to be fair, is a damn good director) seem to be totally unaware of how stupid their love for BATMAN BEGINS actually is.
When BB came out, all you heard were reviews going on about how great it was to see some gritty realism in the Batman movies - more crime, less comic strip. A serious take on the serious nature of duality and the serious need to be toally serious about Batman.
IT'S A FILM ABOUT A FUCKING VIGILANTE WHO DRESSES UP LIKE A FUCKING BAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Where the FUCK is the realism in THAT? It's inherently a very goofy concept! THAT'S why the best movie of all the Batman movies is BATMAN RETURNS: it took the mythos and used it to create villains that were at least as interesting as the protagonist. And at least Michael Keaton wasn't as fucking po-faced as Bale - come on, Bale, we know you can act, and act fucking well, but - YOU'RE BATMAN! HAVE SOME FUCKING GRATITUDE! HAVE SOME FUCKING FUN!!!!!
Why IRON MAN looks waaaaaaaaay better than THE DARK KNIGHT (fuckin' stupid title, by the way)is because the trailer seems to take the whole Lord-Of-War arms dealer-as-egotistical-scumbag thing, add the sardonic humour RDJ does so well, adds the origin story which makes him a bit less cocky, but also inspires the MK I armor - and does it all tongue in cheek! It's a kick-ass trailer that mixes modern political background with a fun asshole personality (RDJ as billionaire asshole? Awesome!) and adds the whup-ass as soon as you hear the first four notes of Sabbath. The mere fact that Sabbath is even ON the trailer means they know when to wink at the audience in htis movie.
IRON MAN will be a kick-ass flick with a heart AND a brain. I even think it'll make you laugh occasionally.
THE DARK KNIGHT will be a po-faced piece of navel-gazing portentous bullshit made by and starring a bunch of pseudo-intellectuals who don't seem to realise that this is ENTERTAINMENT! It's a FUCKING COMIC BOOK MOVIE! This is a man who has two identities, a sidekick who happens to be a young man (usually an orphan) who he has colluding with him in his vigilante endeavours AND NO-ONE THINKS HE MIGHT BE A PREDATORY AGGRESSIVE CLOSET HOMOSEXUAL!!!
Which is why you'll never see Robin in a Nolan Batman movie: he's not touching that with a fifty foot Bat-pole.
THE DARK KNIGHT should lighten the fuck up and get a life. IRON MAN is coming to kick the Dark Knight's ass!!!!!! -
That's right, that's the spot. Anyone who's naysaying after watching that, how much fucking spare time do you noids have?
-
...You know, the first two that were fucking identical in that (a) there was a piss-poor climactic fight instead of the mutant armies showdowns we'd come to expect from the comics, (b) at some point Ian McKellen HAD to say "the waaaaaaaaaaaaaar has begun," and (c) that were, unforgiveably, FUCKING BORING!!! And casting Jackman as Wolverine - a great, great actor, but a little - how do I put it? - "less than butch", when butch is what's required for Wolvie. Russell Crowe was choic #1, and he'd have been perfect, as would choice #2, Dougray Scott. Hell, put choice #300, Gerard Butler, in there. Anyone but Jackman.
X-MEN 3 was the only one of those movies that was fucking watchable. And it got flamed because Ratner made it! FOR FUCK'S SAKE!!!!
IRON MAN will rule. That is AAAAAAALL. -
From the looks of the trailer this movie appears to have the missing piece in comic book movies lately- FUN.
-
Are why the Islamic Extremists hate us...
Talk about needing to get a life! This song (even though it is about a time traveler-not the Superhero)has been tied to Iron Man since the early 70's when it came out. On the other hand I am hope that the new Magneto movie does not use "Magneto and the Titanium Man" by Paul McCartney and Wings... -
I actually agree with some of his points, comic book movies should be fun, and toungue in cheek; the one reason I loved FF #1 so much. But, remember, Batman is supposed to be the alternative to this kind of comic---right from the Bob Kane beginnings...he got lighthearted in the 50's, but returned to his darker roots in the 70's. Then went over the top in the 80's. There is a strong, strong chance that Iron Man could trump the Dark Knight---I'm not so sure about the Joker, truthfully....
-
-the use of the Sabbath song was sheer genius--it actually got me excited about how Shellhead will sound when he speaks. I've read Iron Man all my life, and I'm telling you that this was a complete suprise; I was not expecting this focus on Stark. Thats always been the key---and Iron Man isn't even a vigilante, really. There are so many directions the character can go. Plus, he can lay waste to acres of land. Ok, I'm starting to geeek out here...this film will rule
-
IRON MAN will pwn the boxoffice.
-
True, Nolan's batman is more serious than your average comic book movie, but i think it's a magnificant approach. Batman needs to be soaked in a more 'realistic' world IMO. He's a dark character, and I've always felt Marvel comics have a more light-hearted approach to them, which makes their films more youth-oriented. Don't get me wrong, Marvel kicks ass, but I think TDK (awesome title, by the way!) is going to dominate over Iron Man come next summer!
And Spud, chill the fuck out! Back to IRON MAN DISCUSSION! -
Lets admit it, he was a dick during the CIVIL WAR; even if his underlying motives were honorable, he went waaay too far, waaay too fast... as only a powerholic can. He switched his love for Johnny Walker Whiskey to a love for Benevolent Fascism.
Oh, and he's the most interesting character in the MARVEL universe, and one of the most interesting characters in comics today period. IRON MAN: Director of SHIELD totally rocks... -
Batman and Iron Man always had that tortured playboy thing in common, but Tony Stark's psyche is actually more interesting to adults. he may be a 2nd tier comic character but his film character is potentially as layered and relatable as the best of them. This will succeed or fail based on how well it pulls that off. ...and if the repulsor rays look cool.
-
I agree that BATMAN needs to be dark/noirish, but as 'lighthearted' as SPIDERMAN or FANTASTIC FOUR can be (at times -- I wouldn't call much of the pain/struggle that Peter Parker goes through as lighthearted, he just runs through life with a sense of humor) there ain't nothing "lighthearted" about the core struggle in XMEN -- a story dealing with weighty issues such as bigotry, racism, sexism, genderism, genocide and the resistance agaisnt these evils.
-
Those are the new "Airmen Battle Uniform" that the Air Force guys are wearing. Digital tiger stripe pattern. It won't be fielded until sometime next year.
Some movies you can tell when one of the armed services officially gets behind it and provides support. Transformers and Ironman being Air Force examples. "Annapolis" being one that was officially disowned by the Navy. -
I find it hard to muster up the ol' righteous indignation about movies the way I used to, mate. I have no idea whether this is due to the movies these days being more often shit than not, or just me becoming a mellower man in middle age, but I'm calmer than I used to be. It's just that, in print, I do find myself going off on one sometimes. There's room for people to give much love to Nolan's BATMAN, and I love Nolan's other stuff: I just wish Bale would lighten the fuck up and they could have a little fun with it. But hey, there's room for us all up in here. It's just one Spud's opinion.
But seriously, don't get me started on Dr Who and Russell T Davies... >:D -
One of Stark's defining characterists is that he's a womanizer; an ultra-heterosexual playboy (perhaps even a sex-addict). He's so over the top hetero, he even tried to f*ck that fatcow Laura Bush (in ULTIMATES vol.2)! And she's hideous! Wayne, on the other hand, never seems to have a girlfriend (even though he could take his pick of any number of women), has to be reminded by his butler to date supermodels so people won't ask questions, and has a tendency to run around with underage orphan acrobats. I don't think that makes him any less of a hero, but he definately comes off as a brooding closet homosexual.
-
In the editing. His speech, as presented in the Comic-Con footage, was awesome. But yeah, this is basically the Comic-Con presentation but shortened (and including some new stuff, like the bit about Stark being forced to build a missile, etc). So, aside from the trailer having those few editing flubs, the flick still looks great.
-
from a mile away, this movie is gonna suck big time.
-
WOW! The suit looks AMAZING! Really, this trailer looks like it follows the visual aspect of IRON MAN as close to the comic book like no other. Now the story, that where all the worrying will start. But for now I'm really looking forward to seeing IRON MAN next year. I REALLY hope that they don't shit on this one also. (Crossing fingers.)

Hope springs eternal, eh? Shit, I thought it was impossible to fuck up a Caribbean Pirates flick (crustacean guys versus resurrected skeleton guys, right? WRONG!) or a Transformers movie ("Robots?! Screw the robots...MORE TEENAGE ACTORS!"). Ya gotta dream, I guess...
-
But I will say that trailer looks like it was written by Donald Rumsfeld and Robert McNamara. Still, it's Marvel and Ari Avad, if they weren't pro-America (yay for chapters 11-13 and the American answer to Nick Leeson, Ron Perelman) then it would be a very poor comic movie world indeed.
Viva la vans defrans I say.
-
Shit.
I meant Avi Arad.
Damn you lack of editing function...damn you to hell.

Ok, so 1st guy has an M4 with a M203 grenade launcher, then next guy has a HK G36c moded. Then looks like next guy has a HK UMP or similar. OK, since when do Terrorists spring for H&Ks. And a M4?!?. Throw that prissy peace of shit back in the sand and get out an AK47. .223 vs .308, come on. And Stark runs around in a HumVee? That's just a glorified jeep. If you're worth gazillions, get in a fucking M1 tank, or at least a Bradley.
They got a HK mod shop there in the desert? Hey Mohammed, Akbar here, you got my Saiga-12 ready yet, you got my barrel and gas tube shortened yet.
Anyway, seriously, I hope this turns out good. Marvel has let me down so many times recently. Spidey 3, Ghost Rider (man, what shit), X-Men 3 and especially the Fantastic 4 Franchise. I can't even remember how FF2 ended it was such crap.
Avi, get off your Harley, and just make films that stick to the original stories. If you're gonna do FF 48 and 49, DO FUCKING FF48 and 49. Pretty bad when a late 1960s' FF cartoon is better than a
2007 CGI intensive Big Budget film. Even my boys (11 and 15) would rather watch the old cartoons. Why is so difficult to shoot a comic book movie. The script is right there in the comic, and it's loved by millions for decades. So, let's just fuck that up.
Waiting for the Nova franchise to kick into full gear. -
"...and it's seemed to work out pretty well so far." Am I the only one who that line makes no sense to? And before I get called a "hater" or whatever other mind-numbingly brilliant comment is waiting in the wings for anyone who dares to question the awesomely awesome awesomeness of Iron Man, I liked your precious teaser.
-
This has the feel of some onset improv. When those moments work, they always feel better to the crew than they do to the audience, because unlike the audience the crew was expecting something else and they have the tension release from seeing it go differently but still okay and that tends to make an okay moment feel to them like it's a great moment. Just a minor observation (and just watch someone tell me I'm wrong); nontheless the film looks promising. Stark may not have been a total dick in the early 60s origin story, but I always liked the way Dr. Strange was a total dick, or as Stan might have said, a dyed-in-the-wool dick. This brings some of that to the early material.
-
It was *o*k*. I'll give it a shot though.
-
that was an amazing trailer, i just can't get enough. thank you jon favreau, because it is awesome when somebody gets it right.
-
as a former and future hater I see usually see where hate comes from but not tonight. jeesh Pro American, not liking the flight sequence, Batman Forever the best Batman movie. WTF to paraphrase Jack Nicholson Joker "This internet needs a enema"
-
That looks fucking awesome. I love the attitude at the start. That "Some people say the best sort of weapon is one you never use..." line. Utterly classic.
-
Any watched that? I think all comic book heroes translates so much better on animation. This one is no exception - its superb with great voice acting. Spiderman, Justice League, Silver Surfer, Batman etc are all brilliant cartoons. Movies can never touch them.
-
Trailer was great. I'm now 100% sold on Downey in this role. Iron Man has never been one of the A-list comic book heroes, but we all know that doesn't matter. The Mask, Men in Black, and Hellboy were lesser-known comics that became successful movies. Iron Man translates VERY well to film. I can't wait until May 2!
-
This here list - http://tinyurl.com/34wtdd - Is a roundup of comic book adaptations that is kinda funny, and has some underlying maths I don't understand which makes Constantine more successful than Superman!

Or was RDJ channeling Nic Cage during the first half of the trailer?

*Yawn* Two thumbs down. What a shitty teaser.

You obviously have never read Iron Man or have even the slightest inkling of what a great job this guy is doing with Kirby's vision. The Mark 1 suit is absolutely one of the greatest examples of comic to film accuracy ever, bar none, no discussion.
By the green deck shoes of Lou Ferrigno I lived through the Reb Brown Captain America era with Bill Bixby and gigantic web-shooter bracelets and to be subjected to piss-ant, spoiled bitch whiners like you makes me want to beat you down with all the vigor of a Sleestak on 'roids.
People like you don't deserve the work of fans like Favreau and Sam the Man.
-
So many people need to make sure everything is anti-american or they get all pissed off. Nothing there was pro or anti american. He was just an arms dealer giving his speal to his customer. What did you want him to do, spit on them? And as for the villains in the origin section being Arab, I follow just enough Marvel to know they just stuck to the current story. Looked like a lot of fun to me. Not epic, just a lot of fun.
