Really interesting teaser. Not the portrayal of Tony Stark I pictured, but there's no denying that that's a teaser with personality. I hope it carries through to the final film.
i wouldn't call it a teaser, it's like 2 min long... more like trailer #1 the Dark Knight teaser was an actual teaser: no actual movie footage, less than a minute long...
but anyways, i really liked the first few moments, the rock and roll Gates thing. other than that, i don't really know how to gage it. it looks promising but trailers usually do. the flying Iron Man looked good, typical hi-grade CG.
I was feeling it. Though Junior was being Junior in the early moments of the teaser, I could see him develop into the Stark I know throughout the rest of the teaser.
It doesn't make any sense that they used the Black Sabbath song. The lyrics of that song have nothing to do with the comic book, and the comic book pre-dates the song (so they can't claim that the song inspired the comic book).
I loved the use of the song. It's just...simple fun. And my son loves the "I am IRON MAN!" bit from it. What was the purpose of Just Like You Imagined (by NIN) from the 300 trailer??? Nothing...it just sounded cool
Thats actually shorter than the con footage. They cut the part when Iron Man get his hand stuck in the rock and was struggling to pull it free.
Definitely not the Stark from the comics from that footage. Which makes me worry a bit. Why change the character? Did they feel Stark was too serious and felt they needed to add humor to it?
I was hoping for a good study of the man inside the suit.
I think the point is to show him as a self-absorbed jerk who will be changed by his experience in Afghanistan. They have to lay it on a little thick to make the change more poignant.
Or, maybe they're just muffing it.
Still, looked cool. I agree with Chuck about the whys of "Iron Man," but it did ring a little false.
