But… I’m really quite peeved at it. Because it’s almost… TOO awesome. See, I honestly feel like I’ve just been spoiled the whole movie.
The first trailer was enticing. I got the major characters and couldn’t wait to see what they’d do. Kinda like the trailers for THE DARK KNIGHT. But this trailer feels like the whole synopsis of the movie, as well as all the ludicrously cool surprise bits like the briefcase armour, and well, as cool as it looks, instead of being hyped, I’m actually a little upset. I feel like someone just ran in and went, “Yeah, so here’s the plot.”
Dammit.
I’m hoping there’s a bunch of stuff we didn’t see and I’m wrong because it looks brilliant.
This is awesome. How come so many directors and producers can’t see how to make a good superhero movie that stays true to the comics when Jon Favreau makes it look so easy?
“gnosis said… I’m with you Bass. I definitely got the gist of what the entire story is going to be from that.
On the other hand, woo! Briefcase armor!”
This is what aggravates me so.
How much do you want to bet that there is only a *hint* that Tony Stark has invented the ‘briefcase armour’ in the movie? It’s probably a throwaway line of, “I don’t go anywhere without my briefcase.” Or Pepper saying,”Don’t forget your briefcase”. Something innocuous that HOLY FUCKING SHIT IT’S A COMPACT IRON MAN HOLY AWESOME!
But now… I know precisely when, where, and how that’s going to happen, and I know that’s how he defeats Whiplash. When the first trailer came out, I was all, “How is Iron Man going to not die to Whiplash??!?!?!?!?!!” Now I know.
I have to try to forget this trailer so I can (hopefully) enjoy the movie.
I’m just reminded of TERMINATOR 2 and how all the trailers spoilt the twist that Arnie was a good guy in it. If you watch the movie, it’s carefully paced and structured to make you think that the T-1000 is a good guy. (He’s a cop, he smiles, and so on.)

OMG BRIEFCASE ARMOR!
Yes. A thousand times in Brian Blessed’s voice Yes!
Stac
…was that collapsable armor?
Mr. Stark…do you
…Is that the fucking Silver Centurion armor?
Yesssssss
“‘-Mr. Stark displays textbook narcissism.’
…
Agreed.”
Is it wrong that I think the hottest thing in that was the Silver Centurion?
Yes, that is wrong……But so, so right!
Is it wrong that at the end of the trailer I giggled like a giddy 12 year old?
Rye-37.
And they use Black Sabbath as they damn well should.
Briefcase Armor!
That looks awesome.

Have I ever mentioned how much I dig the idea of Sam L. as Nick Fury?
I’ve asked this before, I’ll ask it again:
WHERE CAN I BUY MY TICKET FOR THIS RIGHT N*O*W?!?!?
@CB: I don’t know, but keep saying it, because it can’t be said enough.
I’m gibbering like an idiot at my desk.
More Sam Rockwell= win.

No one has even mentioned Black Widow.
Just saying!
I’m with you Bass. I definitely got the gist of what the entire story is going to be from that.
On the other hand, woo! Briefcase armor!
“So, Mister Stark, ar you willing to turn over the Iron Man armour?”
“Excuse me, I just left something in my.. briefcase..”
Deleted scene! Eh? Eh?
As everyone else said, Briefcase Armour! Which is also the Silver Centurion Armour!
Frankly, I’m only excited because it reminds me of the old 90’s cartoon.
Trailers (almost) always spoil, guys.
That said, NICE job with the briefcase armor.
OMG! It was his sled!
No, seriously. Kane’s sled turned into Iron Man armor.
Eeeeeeee!
Thanks for the heads up.
Has now learned that when MGK says “holy fuckballs” he ain’t lyin’.
I’m not sure what to say. Everyone else seems to have captured my thoughts.
Natasha is a notary?
@Robert Eddleman: Agreed. SAM ROCKWELL YAY
Briefcase armor has sold me on this movie.
