http://www.criticsrant.com/archive/2007/09/17/IRON-MAN-Trailer-Kicks-Metal-Butt.aspx Just when you think you've had your fill of costumed superheroes running around and spouting one-liners while bashing baddies, another one comes along that gets your adrenaline flowing. I had my doubts when it was announced that Jon Favreau was going to be directing IRON MAN. Could the guy who directed ELF and came to fame in SWINGERS do this justice? I thought he'd make it into a campy version of the classic superhero. Boy, was I wrong. The new and recut IRON MAN trailer that was originally shown only at Comic-Con in July has finally hit the webs, and it looks pretty damned awesome. In fact, it has me more excited about this film and any of the Spidey movies, and it also looks like it might trump BATMAN BEGINS or THE DARK KNIGHT. Blasphemy, you say? Quite possibly, but that still doesn't change the fact that this trailer made my jaw drop. Robert Downey Jr. (who I was also apprehensive about) looks perfect as the boozy playboy version of Tony Stark, infinitely better them Tom Cruise (who was attached to this film for awhile) would have been. The Mark I version of the armored suit looks like a freaking tank, and just check out when the red and gold version bursts onto the screen. Just make sure you've gone to the bathroom beforehand, because you might wet your pants. Click through to watch the trailer and rant back to us and tell us what you think about it. Do you love it? Hate it? We wanna know.

Iron Man is a better character than some of the movies that have already came out of superheroes. vcuguy http://www.criticsrant.com/archive/2007/09/17/IRON-MAN-Trailer-Kicks-Metal-Butt.aspx#1818 Fri, 19 Oct 2007 02:22:31 GMT http://www.criticsrant.com/archive/2007/09/17/IRON-MAN-Trailer-Kicks-Metal-Butt.aspx#1951 rguzbbvp - Google Search http://www.criticsrant.com/archive/2007/09/17/IRON-MAN-Trailer-Kicks-Metal-Butt.aspx#1951 Thu, 01 Nov 2007 01:53:09 GMT
