Robert “Iron Man” Downey Jr

Trailer Check for Iron Man:

in theaters on May 2nd

I wasn’t entirely sold on the idea of Robert Downey Jr in a superhero movie. But the trailer suggests that maybe he didn’t really have to do too many stunts. There are a bunch of scenes with an entirely cgi-ed Iron Man. Kinda reminds of how Nic Cage got off lightly with the CGI enflamed Ghost Rider character. We’ll see if the final Iron Man can match the realistic movements of other superhero films like with the lifelike Spider Man from Spiderman 2.

My biggest peeve with the trailer is the return of Gwyneth Paltrow as the damsel in distress. But hey, to each their own. They’ve got my dollar already with the very presence of Downey Jr.
