Iron Man 2 Trailer

Summary:

The attached video is a trailer for one of the movies I have been looking forward to. Iron Man 2. It releases May 7th, 2010.

Significance:

I feel that people are getting into the "fad" of superheroes again ever since the release of the newest Batman movie, The Dark Knight. I think people are beginning to release that you don't have to be one of the stereotypical geeks that hang around comic book stores and are highly anti-social, in order to like superheroes. That being said, Hollywood Directors are changing the superheroes by making the characters and plots in the new movies more complex to attract a different and larger audience.

In the comic books, some of the stories were very cliche. For example, some random evil villain appears, the superhero is the only one who can save humanity from him, superhero goes through a test, he saves the world, and he gets a prize. Adding a Hollywood touch to spruce up the movies and make them more entertaining is actually a very rewarding thing for viewers.

Also, this trend goes to show how quick our culture is advancing. Stuff that used to entertain us back in the 80's wont cut it for our current society. One major example is the hit movie Avatar. James Cameron did a fantastic job by using state of the art technology to dazzle and "wow" millions of people.
