Seems to be going for the Iron Man-type vibe to me--has a dramatic/action core, but lots of humor, wit, and silliness surrounding that. And I personally enjoyed those films, but YMMV.I just have no idea if I'm suppose to take this movie seriously or not. And I think that will be the film's biggest hurdle to the general public. We've come to expect a certain thing from a Marvel movie and this is by far the oddest, most obscure movie from them yet. I have no idea if it will bomb or be a wild success at this point
We'll see. If anything like "Super" naysayers gonna blow itIt's just odd for the sake of being odd.
Looks meh to me
Hey now. Buckaroo Bonzai sets a pretty high ****ing standard. Be careful throwing around those kinds of comparisons Khev, or you're bound to be disappointed.
LOLTrue.
So if I'm reading the responses correctly so far the consensus seems to be:
People with souls: "Trailer looked great!"
ASM/MOS/DOFP/SSC Destro apologists: "Meh. Looked too entertaining. Pass."
yeah,agreed...the trailer did nothing to get me excited for it.I need to see more.I really could care less for some of the humor especially from the Star Lord guy
True.

I was going to post something snarky about people who "get" stuff like Big Trouble in Little China and Buckaroo Bonzai probably "getting" this, while Warner Brothers can appeal to everyone else with their Green Lantern-/Tyler Perry-type humor. But I'm above that, so I didn't post it. Oh, wait. . .dammit. . .
Not enough tin foil for you?
LOL

I love that attitude. Obviously, it isn't going to be appealing to 8 year olds in the way that Avengers might, but at least it's a fun kind of vulgarity. . .and not the brutally violent and depressing vulgarity of Man of Steel, which can really stick with a kid in a negative way. I wouldn't let a kid under 10 see Man of Steel, and that still is the part that kills me the most about that damn movie, because Superman is a character FOR KIDS. Sorry, don't mean to start dragging another thread off-topic, but it's hard for me not to get worked up about how bad they screwed that one up in my mind. I loved that character so damn much when I was a youngster.I can totaly see people with strict moral codes being upset with Marvel adding a middle finger gesture and "A-hole" vulgarity into their cinematic universe.
