Anyone else think the Ironman 2 trailer is crap?

I agree.
But I should also say that I wasn't a fan of the original film. It didn't have nostalgia going for it like Transformers did, and though Downey was great casting, all he could do was turn a rather safe script into a moderately entertaining film. There was nothing wrong with the first film, but nothing and I mean nothing, about it made me have any desire to sit through it again.

Nope.
And there's already a thread on it.

I didn't watch it. It's Iron Man 2, what else do I possibly need to know. It could feature Tony Stark having a 2 minute power nap in real time and I'd still go see it.
Who the fuck's bright idea was it to use fucking Whiplash, is what I want to know. Whiplash. Christ.
Wait, you preferred Transformers?!
yes, I did. It was a lot of fun, mixed with something I've never really seen (robots to cars etc) mixed with some humor, and Nostalgia. I mean the scene with Scorponok alone was more exciting than anything in Iron Man.
Like I said there is nothing wrong with IM. Plus, I have a lot of nostallgia for TF since I've been a fan for a long time, but in any case, the film was fun, and it delivered exactly what I paid for. With Iron Man all I get is a decent Downey performance. I'd rather watch Zodiac

Yes it wasn't an impressive trailer, IMHO. I, as the comic book illiterate peon that I am, found it rather poor, but then, what do I know? Transformers was a big hit, I'm out of touch, clearly.
Just curious: Is there a way to do him where he isn't so silly, or is this 'true to the comics', as it were?
Basically, both films have very solid, tongue-in-cheek lead performances from highly accomplished actors... but as films they're pretty mediocre, run-of-the-mill action adventure romps.
The rub of this comparison: Pirates too had sequels. Um.
The stupid-looking supervillain with the suit, right?

I fear this. Honestly, more than anything else, Iron Man reminded me of Pirates of the Carribbean.

That's how I see Trek XI
I remember reading that the script for IM2 was bare-bones, and there was lots of "improvisation" on set.
I've not seen any movie trailer for something called "Ironman 2", but I've seen the "Iron Man 2" trailer and it looks... interesting but nothing in it blew me away. I still hold out hope since how well the first movie is and I think Faverau is a competent director.
But... Gary Shandling?

Word!!!!
Everything looked forced to me. Since people are talking about Transformers as well. I enjoyed the first one but thought the second was boring as can be. Rarely are sequels as good as or better than the originals (See Rocky 2 and Star trek II) but somtimes they are WAY worse and I fear this will be the case with this movie.
Are you using Rocky II as an example of a superior sequel, or Star Trek II as an example of an inferior sequel? Because, either way, I have to disagree on at least one count. Not that the law of diminishing returns is usually wrong. Most sequels are less than the films that came before.
