Trailer out

So I just got a glimpse at the new IRON MAN trailer. Hmmm. At first I thought Robert Downey Jr. was a strange choice to play Tony Stark, but then I caught the few lines in the trailer. The personality is dead on. There might be some hope for this movie yet. I must confess I almost permanently blinded myself from the eye roll the news of an Iron Man movie received. I was never really into Iron Man. It seemed like a reach to make a movie about him. I could see if he was in a movie about Captain America as a supporting  character but never a movie by himself. I would say a glimmer of hope would be that Jon Favreau would be directing. Also a star studded cast with the likes of Sam Jackson, Gwyneth Paltrow, and, Terrence Howard also give the film some promise. Dispite all the skepticism I’m sure I’ll go see it and it will make a butt-load of money hence perpetuating the vicious cycle of every comic book property being squashed into a 2 hour movie with multiple sequels who’s mythology suffer from shotty creative licensing and an alternating director/supporting cast. Who’s with me?
