Wow. This a.m. is crammed with geeky film stuff. (I hope you’re enjoying this, dweebs! It’s an exhilarating respite in your busy Monday schedule of painting Warhammer dolls.) And it just keeps getting geekier: By way of AICN and Apple comes the first trailer for Iron Man, a movie I suspect might be pretty awesome.

But this trailer… I honestly don’t know what the fuck to think about it. The first half? Great. The usually excellent Robert Downey Jr. is gonna be a fantastic Tony Stark, and there’s a mood and a tone in the trailer’s first half that’s quick and funny and cool. And then the second half/superhero stuff kicks in, and shit gets cheesy real quick. (Helped out, no doubt, by a choice in theme music that will make you slap your palm to your forehead. I won’t ruin it… but it will, I promise. SLAP.)

I’m still stoked, I think. It still looks like it’ll be a fun superhero movie, it’s got a great cast, and of all the characters in Marvel’s comic books, Tony Stark/Iron Man has always been one of the best. (He’s a SMOOTH-TALKIN’ BILLIONAIRE ALCOHOLIC who RUNS AROUND IN A PERSONALIZED FLYING TANK. C’mon!) But the last half of this trailer just seems… clunky, I guess. We shall see. Anyway: Thoughts?
