I loved the Iron Man comic books as a kid. I enjoyed the stupid Iron Man movie against my better judgment as an adult. I love the character, I'm probably not the best person to offer an opinion here, but I will because this is my site and you can't stop me.

This looks very good. The trailer as a piece of advertising is strong and hits all the right points. The image of Whiplash snapping his whips as he walks toward Stark is a very sellable moment. Personally, I like Stark telling a politician to take a leap because his property is HIS PROPERTY and not to be distributed to "the American people". I sense a libertarian streak.

Any excitement I have is undercut by the knowledge that Justin Theroux penned the script. Theroux is responsible for Tropic Thunder, a complete hack job that trades in mocking the mentally disabled and cannibalism. Hopefully, Theroux actually put some effort behind this work.
