Poster: C; C- Review:Like the trailer, this poster is rather lifeless. It's a reduction to a suit, which certainly fits the theme of the character, but it's not very evocative and not very much of a teaser. Only school-yard fans of the comic will see the poster and drool. Everyone else will probably shrug and walk on.More cartoonish and more befitting a campaign for a comic book series, this second poster is hardly enticing and it doesn't have the classic look most poster collectors would want. It's too straightforward and unexceptional. Trailer: C; B Review:This trailer literally feels like it's trying to explain Iron Man's origins before the movie comes out so that they can just cut those scenes and throw up a bunch of fancy action sequences. The trailer reminds me far too much of The Hulk and we all know what a disappointment that turned out to be.I'm a little more interested after the full length trailer. Sure, there's a lot of "origin" story involved, but unlike The Hulk, this one actually has a witty actor to take on the barbs, he's not just a killing machine. Robert Downey Jr could finally become a box office draw after this, something that his contemporary Johnny Depp became after Pirates. Oscar Prospects:Unless the film's visual effects are better than what we see in the preview, this film will virtually sunk at the 81st Oscars.Release Date:May 2, 2008Synopsis Review:I have not seen this film.-Wesley Lovell (September 15, 2007) Original -Wesley Lovell (April 20, 2008) New Poster; Buy the Poster Enabled |
