Re: Iron Man - New Trailer

This movie really does seem to have alot going for it. I can't immediately recall any bad Robert Jr. performances. In fact usually he's quite brilliant (esp. thinking about U.S. MARSHALLS, I think he carried that movie). I really like the fact that several versions of the Suit appears in the film, including the original design, that's just cool. And yeah, the effects shown so far are pretty impressive. Looks way about average for a superhero movie to me.
Yea, Movies.ign.com has an interview with John Favreau up, and the guy really seems like he "Gets it".
He was talking about how the best tool he has had was the internet, he could put up a trailer super early and just read what the fans were saying about it, gather up suggestions and work with that. I know he is one of those guys who really does what he does out of the love of the craft and not just the money and fame, and he really is showing he has a lot of respect for the comic and even from the trailer you can see he has stayed very true to the plot(other than bringing the scene from Vietnam to Iraq which is to be expected).
I think he is going to hold little back now on advertising, what he says is that they are the new kid on the block and not many people know about Iron Man, Spiderman, Batman are all established franchises so he is going to have to make it something special to compete(especially since the characters of Tony Stark and Bruce Wayne have so much in common he has to find ways to set them apart).
