Going for a beer run
I am pretty excited about this Iron Man trailer that went up earlier today. I don’t know much about the character, other than the basics. A while ago, I did buy a few of the comics during a six part story arc that didn’t really prove to be interesting. In fact, it was cheesy and weak. Let’s see if you can take that criticism, Iron “feelings” Man! Nevertheless, I think he’s got a bitchin’ suit and the ending shot in the trailer kicks the Superman-movie-franchise’s ass, flight-wise. I’ll need to blog a DC crossover to get that last statement to work.
I hope this movie has some substance, and isn’t just glitzy FX and Michael Bay Transformers all over the place. Robert Downey Jr. is a great choice for the egomaniacal Stark, and it’ll be interesting to see what Favreau can do behind the camera. And Gwyneth Paltrow is the perfect choice for… uh… the Hollywood celeb who’s not a comics fan and is just trying to get some of that ‘comic book movie’ big box office, paycheck, character. Nobody has explored the depths of a character like Jessica Alba, either… or Kirsten Dunst… or Katie Holmes…
Hi!
Maybe it was meant as a joke (an obvious, unimaginative, pedestrian joke) but, I hated the inclusion of Black Sabbath’s Iron Man. Go run your dirtbikes on someone else’s property! Maybe if I hadn’t heard hints of shitty, Fred Durst-ian rock, I wouldn’t be so sensitive to the Black Sabbath, but, I heard it and fear the worst.
