Trailer description

Before I leave you I figured I’d give a brief rundown on the Iron Man 2 trailer. That okay? I thought you wouldn’t mind.

Most of the first theatrical Iron Man 2 trailer contains footage that screened in the Comic-Con sizzle reel (you can read my description of that trailer here) which was bootlegged a bit if I remember correctly, so there’s a good chance some of you fine folks saw that already.

This trailer starts with Tony Stark sitting in front of a Congressional board… press and public behind him and Gary Shandling leading the board in front. They want the Iron Man technology and Stark refuses. From the flashes we see that it’s relative peacetime and Iron Man/Tony Stark spends more time flying to special engagements, awards shows (where he’s backed up by cheerleaders or dancers wearing red and gold bikinis with a glowing orb in the middle) and the like.

But while Stark is busy trying to get his Stark Expo up and running we leave him and go to Mickey Rourke’s prison cell, littered with articles on Stark and his tech. There’s a voiceover from Rourke about how much he wants to emulate Stark’s work and then we see him out and whipping up the racetrack where Stark is competing.

What wasn’t in the Comic-Con reel was an effects shot of Rourke literally whipping a racecar in two (I assume it’s Stark’s) as it speeds by. In slow motion you see the front end separate in much the manner you’d expect… kinda like a lightsaber strike… but the back end starts flipping up and over the front as Rourke is still finishing his strike.

Another new bit has Stark and Pepper standing near the open end of a flying airplane. He asks for a kiss before he leaves and she takes his helmet, kisses it and throws it out of the plane. He smiles and jumps after it, the camera following him down and into some war-ish hell where he’s pursued by missiles, etc.

The big money shot is the last scene of the trailer which starts on Don Cheadle’s face as the War Machine mask slides into place and he starts fighting back to back with Iron Man. They showed this segment at Comic-Con, but the difference on the effects is night and day. Now instead of just the two fighting against black they’re in a war-torn, fiery environment… War Machine’s shoulder mini-guns are whirring taking out men with guns as Iron Man’s repulsor rays do their thing.

And we also get a glimpse of Scarlett Johansson as Black Widow, but not much more than a brief bit of a beat down she employs to some poor schmuck in a hallway somewhere and a quick shot of Sam Jackson as Nick Fury.

It’s a lot of frenetic energy and I suppose does its job, especially for a teaser, but you don’t get too much of an idea of the story or a real set up to where Rourke is coming from as a new addition to the universe. But all in good time, right? The flick’s still a half-year away-ish, yeah?

Sounds like Rourke's Whiplash has elements of Crimson Dynamo and Titanium Man to him.

And I'm guessing the Congressional board stuff is leaving the door open for Armor Wars, with the government probably helping Justin Hammer get his hands on the tech.

I saw a clip of the footage on youtube and I can't wait for the trailer...had no idea that it was this soon! I think Gary Shandling's Senator is among the congressional hearing scene, this was shown during comic con.

"Dammit! Trailer already! It's just friggin' four months to release. Get a damn trailer out already"

Exactly. Some films have trailers a whole year before release. This is late by those standards.

For some reason Stark's line of "You complete me" had me thinking of another movie.

 

[FPAlpha]

Which was "perhaps" the intention

Anyway.. i squeeled like a little girl when i saw War Machine in action together with Iron Man.. awesome!

That will be one hell of an entertaining movie

War Machine and Iron Man fighting back to back cool, over all trailer is a "meh".

 

[Quantum]

Looks like the bad guys got a hold of Starkies power source...

Another note isn't Whiplash a bit vulnerable to bullets not to mention other types of weapons when he is combat.

I am half surprised the government didn't "eminent domain" Tony's equipment...

War Machine and Iron Man fighting back to back cool, over all trailer is a "meh".

Agreed. Color me disappointed.
