Are you ready for an Iron Man movie overdose? You can watch the new TV spot for Iron Man below, plus, Paramount has updated the official website for the movie, AND there are a bunch of new images from the movie as well!
The clip below show a lot of new footage and it’s very “hip.” It’s designed to intrigue people who’ve probably not heard of the movie yet and as far as that I think it works well. For people who’ve been following the movie for months, while it does show a lot of new footage, it seems kind of… I don’t know.. like candy, if that makes any sense. Yeah, it’s cool, but I’m not sure if it makes me more excited about the movie like everything else I’ve heard and seen so far does.

The CGI seems kind of unfinished to me in some spots in the clip above, and for some reason it seems painfully hip to me.
Finally, here are just some of the new images that have been added to the updated Iron Man website.
Tony Stark (Robert Downey Jr. and his driver (bodyguard?) Happy Hogan (director Jon Favreau)
Tony Stark and his best friend Jim “Rhodey” Rhodes (Terrence Howard)
Obadiah Stane (Jeff Bridges), a Stark Industries executive who ends up being an arch enemy to Iron Man
Tony Stark works on the Mark III Iron Man armor
The Mark II armor in flight
Iron Man not doing so well against an adversary
Iron Man in flight

Kahless, feel free to e-mail me so I don’t hijack this thread completely off topic?

WOW! This was very cool,IMO. It was great to see a little more of the Iron Monger in action.
I agree tho,the scene at the end there with the tank DID seem a little unfinished. Still cool tho…..
I remember some previous posts here at the site about how some of you thought it would be hard to get any type of expression or emotion on IM’s face cuz of his helmet,much like the dillema the Spider-Man producers faced,obviously. But it looks to me,based on the end scenes of the teaser,like Spider-Man,SOMETHING happens to IM’s helmet toward the end of the film that exposes his face and allows us to see Stark.
And in regards to Vic’s comment on the teaser being “very hip” to help attract a larger audience,I think he’s right. But it must work tho…does anyone remeber the teasers and trailers for the first Spider-Man? They were ALL hip too…..
SIDENOTE: I’ve had the FLU the past few days which is why I’m a little late coming to this post. Hopefully I’ll be better by this time next week…..
Good point KEL,(get well soon Bro!).

I loved the scenes in Spider-man when he gets battle-damaged or looses his mask. (Makes the entire movie seem more realistic).
It would be great if in Iron Man we see him getting his mask damaged enough to see his face in a huge battle scene. Reminds me of great gladiator battles where there armor is just being beaten away.

(Going back in time)……..
I allways thought it would have added more realism if during the final battle between Vader and Luke, Luke damages Vader in the same way.
How cool would it have been to see chunks of Darth Vaders suit breaking off and exposing the mechanics underneath.
Tribble, Screaming!!!

Jim this mans a Klingon!

Tribble, screaming again…..
Speaking of tribbles, did anyone see the episode of DS9 when they went back in time to the episode with the tribbles and put themselves in among the crew? I loved that episode!!!
Trials and Tribble-ations. Season 5 episode 6.
That one?
Yea that was a great blend of TOS and Ds9.
Classic Trek!

That line , “Jim that man is a Klingon” is from that Epsiode.
Well the Orginal Trouble with Tribbles I mean.
Well…Steve…I get where you’re coming from,wih the whole “realistic” realm and all but let’s consider a few things shall we?
1. I like the Spidey films but using the same mask-gets-torn-at-end-of-film gimick (along with villain kidnapping girlfriend) for 3 movies in a row not only got repetetive (mispelled…? sorry),but it also got REALLY annoying and old (not to mention it showed a lack of creativity a bit..sorry).
2. Unlike Spider-Man,Iron Man/Stark NEEDS his suit for powers and to stay alive,whereas if Spidey loses his mask the fight still goes on and he can take as many punches from Green Goblin as his superhuman durability will allow,Iron Man on the other hand,all it takes is one blow from Iron Monger’s super strong armor to Stark’s un protected head and he’s dead.
3.Why in the heck would IM lose his helmet or have it crushed in the first place? Isn’t this the superhero who’s comic book tagline is “the INVINCIBLE Iron Man”? Invincible,right? Surely his armor won’t be broken THAT badly.
4.I know this is rather trivial,but isn’t Parker’s mask breaking in a fight almost the equivelant of Superman’s CK glasses appearing on his face suddenly after being punched by a baddie? No…..? Just thought I’d throw that out there……
Gotta say tho..that Vader scene woulda been pretty sweet!
Maybe we’ll see some of that on the new live action SW series this fall!
Yea I hear ya KEL, I allways thought it would be kinda funny and cool to start a Spider-man film off where he’s leaving the city with MJ to escape all the crime for a few weeks. When he lands in say Portu Rico he all of a sudden has to fight this NEW super-villian. Of course MJ needs to be rescued. That’s just part of the Spider-man legacy. We have to assume she’s only put in harms way by the real bad villians (the ones in the films).

I kinda expect spideys mask to come off during the ending battles.
It seems to ground the character for me anyway…
Iron Man however I’m jusr going by what somebody posted here about his mask armor getting messed up.
I realise he dosnt have super-powers like Parker does. It will be interesting to see how much damage he gets delt in this new film.

In the comics, IM fought the Hulk and nearly bought the farm. Stark had to create a whole new armor because of the Hulk. It would be nice to see this armor in the film.
JUST SAW IRON MAN TRAILER HERE IN SCOTLAND AND IT LOOKS GREAT.
IF THIS IS A HUGE HIT OF A MOVIE DO YOU THINK MABEY “ROBOCOP” MIGHT GET A WELCOME RETURN TO THE BIG SCEEN?
WITH ALL THE CGI STUFF NOW I WOULD HAVE THOUGHT HOLLYWOOD WOULD HAVE BEEN EAGER TO BRING HIM BACK.
I STILL THINK THAT FIRST ROBOCOP MOVIE IS A CLASSIC. BRING HIM BACK.
Yea I could go for a new Robocop!
^
1 was great but I actually watch 2 more.
3 was just bad….
ROBOCOP 2 SHOULD HAVE BEEN GREAT. IT SUFFERED FROM TOO MUCH TROUBLE BEHIND THE SCENES AS SUPERMAN 2 DID.
I MEAN FRANK MILLER WROTE ROBOCOP 2 AND LOOK WHAT HE’S UP TO NOW; 300 ,SIN CITY.
IT WAS TRYING TO DO THEN WHAT THE BATMAN MOVIES NOW ARE JUST CATCHING UP WITH.
ROBOCOP WAS KICKIN’ ASS SUPERHERO WISE LONG BEFORE THE OTHERS.
