ROTTEN TOMATOES: Watch the Iron Man Trailer!

Watch the Iron Man Trailer!

Yes, that's right. The trailer.

by Jeff Giles | September 10, 2007

In what may be a first, we've got an item about a commercial for a trailer to a movie that won't be coming out until next May.

It sounds ridiculous -- and it surely is -- but the movie in question is Iron Man, the superhero epic with the spectacular cast, so we'll cut the studio and director Jon Favreau a little slack here. If you click through to the link below, you can get a look at an ad MTV's been running to promote the fact that they'll be premiering the Iron Man trailer tonight at 9:30 (8:30 central). Lots of quick cuts, naturally, but you can catch brief glimpses of Robert Downey Jr., Jeff Bridges, Terrence Howard, and Gwyneth Paltrow in character -- and, most importantly, get a look at Iron Man in action.

And if you miss the trailer's television premiere tonight, don't worry -- it'll be available for online viewing (for 24 hours only) at MTV Movies beginning at 10 o'clock EST tonight.

UPDATE: Then again, if you don't feel like watching the commercial or waiting until tonight, you can just head over to Apple and watch the trailer right now. Thanks to MMacKK for pointing this out!

It wasn't bad but I didn't like the flying scenes. They should keep him on the ground. Too many one-liners also.

Eh, looked good to me. They've still got a year to spruce it up.

Cool looking.
But, dare I say, the flying sequences NEED to look more "fluent"(??)... They still have that kinda "animated feel" to them, especially when IronMan jerks his head to look at the fighter jet to his left (is it just me who feels so?)...

Besides, I would have like to see WAY MORE of the Gold-hitech suit rather than have wasted a large portion of the trailer with the prototype suit (but I guess that's why it's considered "teaser", correct?).

That said, looks like the director has put in quite some humor. I don't really know how I feel about that... since too much humor can ruin stuff (early, campy Batman movies? nuff said). I hope Jon Favraeu keeps the correct ballance on that one. It's tricky territory.

All in all, as a first teaser? Quite good. Could've been better though.
But then maybe, that's exactly the feeling the "trailer maker" wants you to stay with: wanting more, correct?

The difference here, though, is that the jokes actually seem funny.

Looks great, can't wait.

I really wasnt all that impressed with the trailer and that surprised me cause I was really looking forward to this movie due to the cast and director...the corny one-liners really didnt work for me and some of the stuff with the prototype suit didnt look that great...but when all is said and done im still looking forward to this movie and certainly have faith in the people making it

.. I thought it looked pretty darn good, actually. The lines were a bit cheesy but they worked for me (Downey could quite possibly be the coolest superhero, ever!).

I dunno, if you want to go the cheese route figure that Stark gets captured to make a bomb, and HE MAKES A GIANT SUIT OF ARMOR INSTEAD.

I mean, c'mon, this isn't going to exactly be movie of the year here.

I dunno what some of you are bi*ching about that was an amazing first trailer for Iron Man !!! ... Robert Downey seems to play Stark flawlessly and the suits are looking pretty slick for not being totally completed yet . I am sure that the one liners will be a little more spread out over a 2 hour movie when compared to 2 min trailer so relax and I thought most of the lines were prety good . The plot seems solid , the attitude and style seem to fit the material , the short sequences i saw looked pretty solid and the effects look pretty good to me . Even to all the haters you have to admit haveing Sabbaths Iron Man Playing was pretty cool ...

LOOKS DAMN GOOD , CANT WAIT TO SEE IT ...

Hey, I thought that trailer rocked! That was a lot of fun to watch. I can't wait for the movie now.

Granted, it had cheesy jokes, but they really weren't that bad, and the flying scene at the end seemed odd, but hey, it's just a teaser, right? All-in-all I really liked it and I'm more excited than ever.

Downey makes a very different kind of Stark though. Not the serious sourpuss I'm used to in the comics. We'll see.

Not bad... Not terrific, but not bad at all. Sadly, the trailer messed up toward the last five seconds of the flyin' scene, so I don't even know how it ends. Ah, well... Still looks pretty damn good. And he seems to have good movement capabilities in the suit, so that always makes for interestin' potential.

Ya know, I kinda like the Super Hero cheesy type movies. We need them. Fantastic Four is a perfect example of that. Just plain summer fun! That's what I hope this one is. Leave the realistic super hero to the Batman franchise. If people try to copy movies like that....it turns out bad, usually! Don't forget, kids like the superhero movies too and a lot of them didn't like the batman movie as much as the originals.

Fantastic Four was a travesty. The desecration of Doctor Doom in those movies is enough to warrant a ban on super-hero movies forever.
But Iron Man does look promising. Downey definitely brings better acting to the arena, and I for one think the flying sequence looked spectacular. The humor seems to be more in the beginning with a more cavalier and arrgoant Tony Stark, until he is injured. I'll wager the film turns more serious after that. Which is what super-hero movies need. They need to be more serious; not too awfully so but certainly not as silly and ridiculous as Rise of the Silver Surfer and Spider-Man 3. They also need to be a little more faithful to the original stories. There is a reason why those stories have survived forty and fifty years. Iron Man seems to be doing that. But like someone said earlier: we'll see.

didn't know what to expect when I first heard marvel was making an Iron Man, but it does look promising. I hope they do have more of the newer version of the suit in the actual movie, but maybe they are just saving it for the actual movie. but overall looks pretty good, raised my expectations, what would raise them more is confirmation that samuel l. jackson is going to be nick fury in the movie.

Lame. In my opinion, you have to prove that you're a bad *** franchise before you can market yourself as a bad *** franchise. You don't get to just put some cool music to your trailer and expect people to get excited based on that.
