Looks like your typical "it's gonna get you!" film ("Jaws", "Alien", any number of horror films).

I'm torn on it. The music is good, the editing of the trailer is good, and the CGI scenes certainly looked good in IMAX. Not sure what the plot is... seems like "The Matrix" meets "Brainstorm", maybe?

While it's true I haven't seen "IM1" in a while, I don't remember it being as devoid of action as this flick. Just offhand, I remember the first one having action scenes like his initial capture, his escape from the cave (with the homemade suit), ass-kicking in Afghanistan, his flight/fight with the fighter jets, the big end-battle... this one basically had

Spoiler!

It just seems like, for a 2-hour superhero action film, it had very little superhero and very little action.

Again, don't get me wrong, I enjoyed it because I like Downey, I like his portrayal, and I like the comic. I just think most people who go to this expecting to watch a lot of shit get blowed up is going to think there's too much talking. It'll do okay, especially since "The Dark Knight" has whetted peoples' appetite for a complicated character, but it could've been better IMO.

I do agree that it's set up as a mid-chapter, and the next film(s) should be kick-ass as they introduce more characters.

Inception will be the best film of the summer. You heard it here first.

Here's the only current downside to Inception: it's helmed by Christopher Nolan. Which means for a lot of people, he can do no wrong and thus could be a convoluted mess but people would jizz themselves over it.

Two things: anyone that says "all they did was stand around and talk" clearly hasn't watched IM1 in a while. It's the same exact mold.

Best part of the double feature was the crowd universally booing Twilight's trailer. Close second: Inception trailer and it's music.

Third best part was everybody booing when it turns out half the trailers are in 3d and the ****sticks at studio 30 didn't hand out glasses.

I've been looking forward to Inception since the first trailer hit months ago. They're finally giving some things away in the new trailer, but not enough that I have any idea wtf is going on.

The first one was no more of a "superhero action movie" than the second. They were both very heavy on character interaction. Which is a big part of what made the first two Spider-man movies as well as the first two X-Men films great - they're good "movies", in a general sense, rather than trying to be good "superhero action movies," there's more there than cool powers and exploding shit. And that's what's made this latest generation of comic book movies (these two and the two batman films) blow away anything that's come before.

FWIW, you left out a major (important) fight sequence from the new one, as well

Spoiler!

What's going to be interesting now is seeing whether Batman or Iron Man can come up with a conclusion to the trilogy. Because Superman couldn't, Spider-Man couldn't and X-Men couldn't.

In the defense of Superman and and X-men, they also had director issues.

And Raimi wanted The Vulture and not Venom in SM3. Lots of behind the scenes conflict with the producers apparently.

X-Men and the Superman Returns movie from a few years ago are tied together in suck.

Singer wanted to finish the X-Men trilogy that he started, then got pissed of at FOX because they wanted to rush him to make the movie.

They had a huge falling out, he moved to WB and took on the Superman movie, which was decent in spurts, but overall was lacking.

FOX then hired Brett Rattner (hired gun) to just come in a wrap up the trilogy to meet a release date.

So in the end, they both ended up the suck.

I wasn't even talking about Superman Returns, I was talking about the original 3rd one from the 80's with Richard Pryor. Although I get how you were making the connection to the 3rd X-Men.

I'm one of the few people who actually liked Superman Returns.
