Jon Favreau should have a movie about Starks social nightlife and call it 'Swingers 2'. Why is he doing this project again!? He come's off as a guy who should be directing an NBC sitcom or Friends special.

So is this a case of wanting to space out Iron Man and Indiana, instead of having them compete against each other? Or something else...

Umm, I think an update already appeared on CommmingSoon:

"UPDATE: ComingSoon.net has confirmed with Paramount Pictures that the domestic release date is still May 2."

Thats ausome, IRON MAN is gonna be great- more reason to get my hopes up. I like the INDY poster, I know its definately gonna be good, but I hope if im right it will be great. I am looking more foward to IRON MAN though!

Based on the trailer, I'd be suprised if Iron Man is any good.

I think it will follow the Fantastic Four model: Plenty of hype and therefore gross, but an all-around mediocre movie.

I'm giving Iron Man a chance, largely because Downey Jr is in the role, and he seems like a perfect Tony Stark.

It will be better because Downey is Iron Man and not some unknown like the guy who plays Mr. Fantastic. Plus no bad Jessica Alba acting and bad Thing costume.

The preview looks good and I think, at the least, it will fill the void for a legit big budget marvel superhero left by Spiderman.

Iron Man looks to be an "A" movie while Thor, Avengers and others will fill in the void for "B" movies (which Ghost Rider/ Fantastic Four falls into).

They just announced that it is only opening May 2nd here in the U.S. but April 30th Internationally. Why should another country have dibbs at seeing a movie that is purely American before us!!!!

It's official: the summer blockbuster season is gradually becoming year-round.

Oh #)($*&$ Paltrow is in Iron Man? UGH. One of the worst oscar winners (Shakespeare in Love) EVER. Plus she seems to be pretentious as hell in real life. Maybe her little kid "APPLE" will show up and shoot worms and seeds at Iron Man.

Iron Man should have a new villain:The Rust Corrosive Pissing Man.

However, if Paltrow dies in the film...probably be worth watching. I just hate it when I'm the only one in the theater Laughing (Like when Darth Vader went no-o-o-o-o-o on learning about Padme's death, or when Sophie Coppola finally died in Godfather III)

I think Iron Man looks good. I too am a little worried about the amount of goofyness in this movie. I don't take really well to that type of thing, I prefer a little more realism. If they keep that to a minimum, then it should go pretty well. I'm excited non-the-less, so I'm happy to go see it earlier than I anticipated. Though my wife can't stay awake at a movie past 8:00, so I might have to go to a noon showing anyways......

I don't know where in any of the trailers is there anything "goofy". All I've seen is Downey being witty as hell.

Well, witty and goofy. Like I said, it depends how it's done. Downey has what, five or six smart-alec remarks in the trailer alone. If that's all his character is, he'll look more like Mr. Fantastic from the Fantastic Four movies than Bruce Wayne from Begins.

I don't understand why moving it up to April will do "Iron Man" better. I think it's a mistake to move summer blockbusters into the traditionally movie graveyard month of April.

Don't get me wrong, I'm excited to see "Iron Man", but I also wouldn't be surprised if this turns out to be a Hulk-like disappointment.

This is the movie that I'm looking forward to most, mainly because I know nothing about Iron Man apart from the snippets I get about him in Spider-Man comics... he's a complicated character and the series could be used to comment on America and the arms escalation (something I think that The Watchmen may well forget to do).

A modern day superhero that has bad-guys in turbans and warfare in desserts can't help but be a comment on the current politics of America, I'm hoping this won't be Fantastic Four again... I'm looking forward to seeing where they take this franchise (yep, I'm already calling it a franchise).

Kissman; You gotta wonder, is April a graveyard for movies because the audiences don't show up to the movies, or because the movies they wanna see won't comeout for another month?

I don't know why they don't release it in April.
It'll do better business because nothing this good looking will be out and it'll have 5 not 4 weeks seperation between it and Indy which shuld benefit both films from Paramount.

This second trailer is MUCH better than the first.

ANd I actually don't mind Paltrow...as she is pretending to be Claire Danes in these previews. . .

I think it's good they're adding some humor to this movie. I'm sick of super-serious, "HAI LUK I HAS DRAMA" movies like Superman Returns and Spider-Man 3. I mean, the first two Spidies had a lot of drama too, but they also had a sense of humor which Spidey 3 lacked. SR was down-right depressing, even during the action scenes.

Re: SWINGERS 2 comment.

Anybody who doubts Favreau as a director should see ZATHURA - a movie that could have been a complete crap film for kids turned out to be a character-driven engaging story with incredible special and CGI effects!

And let's remember that actors turning into fantastic filmmakers is a trend: Clint Eastwood, Ron Howard and yes, I'll say it: Ben Affleck (anybody SEE "Gone Baby Gone"? Fantastic!).

And the chances that IRON MAN will suck: 0%
