The first trailer for the movie that is billed as the hottest release of the year to come has just been released on the Internet a few hours ago. Fans get a first look at “Iron Man 2,” after many months of teasing and speculation: and, from what they’re saying on dedicated forums, it will be one awesome, must see film no superhero movie fan should overlook.
In fact, it’s not just fans that are psyched about what they can make of the film from the trailer. Jevon Phillips of the Los Angeles Times literally runs out of exclamation marks when speaking of the trailer, which, he says, is unlike his way of looking at a preview. And what’s not to like, they say: the trailer has humor, the God complex, sarcasm, a tinge of romancing, explosions, excellent music and, last but not least, a bad guy to teach all other bad guys a thing or two about how to look menacing, in the person of Mickey Rourke.
“We’ve seen hints of ‘Iron Man 2’s’ awesomeness with posters and such – but now we have proof. On the eve of ‘Avatar’ finally making its way to the screen, Apple.com has released an HD trailer of Robert Downey Jr., Mickey Rourke, Scarlett Johansson, Gwyneth Paltrow and Don Cheadle creating what looks to be a great extension / sequel to Jon Favreau’s masterpiece,” the LA Times says.
“Whiplash! Black Widow! War Machine! That heart-pounding AC/DC music! I would run out of exclamation points if I kept going! Nick Fury himself, the prolific Mr. Sam Jackson, making a cameo tied the bow on it. Too often we jump on trailers and posters and sneak peeks and evaluate how great the movie is ... but ‘Iron Man 2’ looks like it may live up to the hype. Which is just starting,” the piece goes on to argue. As it happens, Phillips is not the only one to be so excited about the trailer, which is just now starting to be circulated widely.
The downside to all this hype is that “Iron Man 2” comes out in May 2010, which means a few more good months of waiting for fans of the film and the superhero genre in general. Still, since it’s only now that we can speak of the promo campaign kicking in high gear, keep an eye on this space for more “Iron Man” teasers from Marvel. In the meantime, below is the trailer (you can also check it out here). Enjoy.
Batman is my number one favorite superhero and Iron Man is my second favorite number one superhero. I can seriously and honestly say that Iron Man 2 will be way better than part 1 especially with Whiplash. Whiplash is pretty and looks very sick in this movie. I also seriously and honestly say that Mickey Rourke will play an awesome villain as Whiplash. I just wonder how many villains Iron Man has because Batman has the Joker, Penguin, Mr. Freeze, Poison Ivy, Scarecrow, etc. I wonder if Iron Man has a lot of villains as Batman does. Hey wait a minute. Doesn't it state that in the comics Iron Man and Spider-Man team up? I wonder when that will happen. Jon Favreau is a 100 million percent an awesome and perfect director for Iron Man and I hope there are more Iron Man movies to come. Come to think of it, I seriously and honestly say that they should make a lot of Iron Man movies. They should even put that villain in the Iron Man sequels. The villain I'm talking about is the bad guy from the new animated show Iron Man Armored Adventures on Nicktoons. I don't know and I kind of forgot what his name is but he's the villain with the black suit who needs all of the rings from Iron Man. Please please please please please please make more Iron Man movies and new and sick ass villains in the series and sequels.
