[Iron Man’s back.](http://www.apple.com/trailers/paramount/ironman/)

And twice as awesome as last time (you’ll see what I mean in just a minute).

**Edit: Also, it should go without saying, but just in case - lots o’ SPOILERS.**

I wonder if they’re going to adapt this trailer into a movie [like they did with the last one](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YBM3j7x4Lcw).

Thanks for that, can’t download quicktime at work.

It looks awesome, every baddy ever should be played by Mickey Rourke!

Awesome, but this means that I’ll have to go see some Meryll Streep shit to make up for dragging my wife along to see this. It’s more fun to see it with someone you can explain all the references to. Well, more fun for me. The wife’s opinion…well, it may take several Streepfests to compensate. 😃

I was uncertain how they’d make a guy with whips cool, but they may have pulled it off. Based on that trailer, they have my $9.

I loved Robert Downey Jr. in the first one, and i’m really looking forward to this one too.

I hadn’t read anything at all about it, so the actor playing the bad guy came as a surprise. The presence of Scarlett Johansson is a bonus, too.

If we go by recent trends of comic book movies, if the first one was good, the second one will be even better, and then the third one is going to blow (e.g. X-Men, Spiderman, etc).
