Iron Man II

[catwhowalksbyhimself]

Now that was awesome!  War Machine!  Battle armored troopers!  More Tony Stark attitude!

Love what I'm seeing so far.

[Xenolith]

I am super excited about this!  Maybe a few more !!!! just to emphasize my point.

[Uncle Yuan]

I am now officially giddy.... Screw Avatar, I'm excited for this.

Yeah, well, I was saying that about Avatar even before I saw this.

In regards to IM2, I am guardedly optimistic.  The snippet with War Machine was pretty darn cool, though.

{Grumble} Don't want to install QuickTime, even for this... Especially not on my business PC.  Hopefully the official site will have trailers in other formats soon.

For what it looks like, Tony is at his high point and Whiplash comes in and kicks his butt bringing Tony back down to earth. - Just a Guess

Very possibly, but somehow someone gets ahold of his armor designs, as we see a him and War Machine fighting dozens of gray armored soldiers.  Not sure how that comes about.

[BentonGrey]

My guess is we'll see some bad government dudes.  That's probably where War Machine will come from in the first place, and then the tech will go on to be mass produced until Tony and the newly repentant Rhodes can shut it down.   I'm really excited about this movie!

[thalaw2]

I'm as excited as I was about Spider Man 2!  I need a cold shower!

[The Hitman]

Well... Sam Rockwell has been cast as Justin Hammer... maybe he gets ahold of the armor specs and sell them to the government.

Iron Man 2 = Armor Wars

[marhawkman]

Well... Sam Rockwell has been cast as Justin Hammer... maybe he gets ahold of the armor specs and sell them to the government.

Or maybe the villain in movie one made a set of blue prints and sold them before he kicked the bucket?

FYI, I just thought this was pretty funny.

I was looking up Iron Man villians and came across this older website where they were talking the chances of certain characters showing up in Iron Man 2.  Anyone notice the two that they rated the lowest with the smallest chances of showing up in Iron Man 2?

Not that I don't think they can do a wonderful job out of some of the more lamest badguys in Iron Man's history(look what they did with Iron Monger) and not that I'm complaining that they're not using some of the bigger named villains(Mandarin, Titanium Man, Crimson Dynamo), but I just thought it was a funny observation.

Did anyone happen to catch the latest trailer on Jimmy Kimmel tonight? It's obviously isn't online yet, but I'm a little more psyched for this movie than I originally was... though I'm not super keen on the new armor Tony will be sporting while dealing with Whiplash. I just wish there were more scenes showing off Black Widow and Rhodey (Don Cheadle), so I could get a better feel of what I might be in for.

Ok, it is online. Check it: http://splashpage.mtv.com/2010/03/08/iron-man-2-trailer/

Off The hinges!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I CANT WAIT!!!!!

[Podmark]

Not bad, not bad at all.
I'm really curious if I'll like Cheadle better as Rhodey. Wasn't huge on Howard.

[GogglesPizanno]

Ooooo, me likey.
Though I'm still not sold on Scarlett Johannsen

[BentonGrey]

OH MY GOSH!!!  It was all I could do to keep from cheering during that trailer.  I was already really excited about this movie, but now I'm actively resenting the time until it's released!  That looked AMAZING!  I'm still not huge on the idea of Stark's identity being known (I like the old tropes, what can I say), but this movie looks so good that it simply doesn't matter.  Thanks for posting this Prev.  Also, although the armor he wears when fighting Whiplash looks sorta' funky, I LOVE that they are acknowledging the whole 'armor-in-a-suitcase' thing with it.  Who is the guy Whiplash is meeting, any ideas?  Warmachine looked pretty darn awesome in action!  This totally started my day out on a positive note.

[crimsonquill]

Who is the guy Whiplash is meeting, any ideas?

That was Justin Hammer, who is another major Iron Man bad guy who usually works from behind the scenes by stealing other peoples technology and then using it to make his own versions and selling them to the highest bidder. Not to mension that he was the sole person behind the Armor Wars because he started helping criminals get out of jail in return for working for him and then supplying them with armored suits or high-tech weaponry.

The movie version of Hammer presents himself as a multi-millionare playboy who makes his money as an arms dealer and somehow manages to get someone inside of Stark's lab to scan his suits of armor when he hears that the government is willing to pay big bucks for the technology. I assume he gets Whiplash to help duplicate the power source in return for giving him the chance to make his own suit of armor to seek his final revenge against Stark.

silver centurion baby whoooo

i know a certain skinner thats gonna freak

[BlueBard]

The briefcase armor-up looked awesome!  I am totally looking forward to this.

It took me a little bit to get it, but

Spoiler

the female employee in that one scene where she gets into a sparring ring with Tony was the same actress playing Black Widow.  So there's the infiltration part.

[JeyNyce]

MUST SEE MOVIE!

[chuckles]

Looks great, but I'm not sold on Mickey Rourke as Whiplash. I'm not saying I don't think he'll do a good job, but (IMO) I just can't see him in that role.

[JeyNyce]

Possible Thor??

[BWPS]

WTF? Jon Favreu aka the goofy guy from mediocre comedies directs the Iron Man movies? How have I not realized that?

[JeyNyce]

In my eyes, he'll always be Froggy

[steamteck]

In my eyes, he'll always be Froggy

Or even Foggy Nelson

[JeyNyce]

MAJOR SPOILERS!!!

Spoiler

Captain America and Thor to show up at end of Iron Man 2

WTF? Jon Favreu aka the goofy guy from mediocre comedies directs the Iron Man movies? How have I not realized that?

Fairly hard to believe, isn't it?  Still, he turned out to be a rather excellent director in Iron Man I.

JeyNyce....I'll believe it when I see it, but if that is done well, and IF they look like themselves....that would be completely awesome.
