After IM 2: Time to say 'good-bye' and 'hello'...

With the passing of Iron Man 2 into Spring movie history, it is time for me to say good-bye to this site and hello to a larger Marvel Movie blog project...

The recent Media Blockbuster event that was Iron Man 2 has pretty much come and gone now, and this has left me thinking. You see, originally I started this blog just for fun and because I thought it would be fun to be like so many other comicbook movie fans on the interweb who have decided to go ahead and fashion their own receptacles for movie info, pictures, video clips and other miscellaneous items. Well at some point I came to the realization that I no longer had a strong desire to post on mainly Iron Man movie related matters, while at the same time I had a growing desire to talk about the other upcoming Marvel movie projects in development. I have realized that I should instead set up a site which would allow me to discuss the collective subject matter of the future Marvel movies as a whole. Following this realization, I decided to go ahead and set up a new blog for my interest in Marvel movie projects and aptly titled it, the Marvel Zombie Movie Patrol. So now I have this new site up and running and that has pretty much spelled the end of this here future Iron Man movies site. It only makes sense to focus my efforts on one site instead of both of them since the new site easily incorporates my fondness for everything Iron Man.

I will of course leave this site up for the foreseeable future - it is not costing me anything after all (it is a free blogger blog) and I am still proud enough of my past efforts on here to leave it up for any future visitors who might come calling.

So now I guess this is the point in this (final) post where I invite you to come join me over at my new Marvel movie pad, at the Marvel Zombie Movie Patrol, Just one Marvel Comics Fan's update of what's coming soon from 'the House of Ideas'.

Yes I know it sounds corny but I am a Marvel fan after all.

Excelsior!

IRON MAN 2: Round Two Is About To Begin!

The new Iron Man 2 movie is almost upon us - it opens at Midnight tonight in my neighbourhood, and of course it has already started playing at theaters in various countries around the World!  With the release of the movie we are now of course head-on into the deluge of media advertising that is always to be expected by such a big budget spectacle movie.  From 7-11 drink cups and straws to chocolate bars to many a cool toy, I am seeing so much stuff out there that pretty much any IM2 fans interests and desires look to be covered.  I am pretty certain that I will be making aconcertyed effort to see the movie over the weekend, however it won't be the end of the world if I dont get to it until next week. Unlike the first time around, this time I have kind of spoiled it for myself by reading online reports of what teaser scene is included after the credits of this sequel.  Nobody to blame but myself, lol.  From what I have seen the movie will not be released anywhere around here in 3-D but will be available in a special Imax presentation; I already know that if it had been released in 3-D for wide release I would not have gone to a 3-D screening and would have gone out of my way to see it in regular 2-D instead just because like the recent Clash of the Titans movie, IM2 was not made to be in 3-D so anything added to it now is just not that impressive to me.  I think that me and James Cameron feel the same way about this...

  Next time Ipost on here I hope to include a mini-review.  Fingers crossed!

BTW, to those of you who do end up seeing the new Iron Man 2 movie over the weekend, enjoy the show!

A New IM2 Movie Trailer And A New IM2 Movie Poster

Here is what I consider to be the most kick-ass as well as the most revealing(plot-wise, at least) of all of the advance trailers for the Iron Man 2 movie so far. This one definitely fleshes out some more of the upcoming movie's plotlines, as well as giving us some more idea of the other supporting characters and their relationships as they are likely to be included in the movie. I especially like the idea that Tony Stark has not just been sitting on his laurels since the last film, with this latest trailer including a strong hint that he has definitely been busy coming up with new armor designs! (just watch to the end of the trailer to see what I am talking about here)

Below that you will see the most up to date of the IM2 movie posters that has been released recently. This poster harkens back to the format of the last movie poster, with its collection of central characters being depicted in dramatic poses, except this time around the villains did not seemto make the cut on it. Now, enjoy both the moving pictures and the still one...

Beyond IM2: Downey Jr Happy Enough To Be in 3?

I don't know if this is really so much news as it is just a cool tidbit about Robert downey Jr. and his feelings about the future of the Marvel franchise:(courtesy of digitalspy.com)

Robert Downey Jr has reportedly revealed that he is looking forward to shooting Iron Man 3.

Speaking to The AP, the 44-year-old claimed that he "aims to suit up" for a third film in the superhero franchise.

Marvel Studios and director Jon Favreau have yet to confirm plans for the rumoured third Iron Man movie.

Iron Man 2 arrives in US cinemas in May. Marvel is also scheduled to release Thor and The First Avenger: Captain America in 2011, plus an Avengers movie in 2012.

Posting the latest Iron Man 2 movie trailer: Helping to build the IM2 buzz one comicbook movie fanboy-geek at a time...

Okay, this trailer for the upcoming Iron Man 2 movie event is by no means new and has already been posted up everywhere one could think of (I'm sure it has probably even made it's way on to someone's crock pot blog somewhere, lol), but I figured that if I am going to even make a half-hearted attempt to revive this site in time for the build up of hype that is sure to come before the Summer release of the upcoming Marvel movie I should make sure that I have the latest trailer posted and available for your enjoyment - and in HD, too to boot!

So, without further ado, I present to you the latest Iron Man 2 trailer. Enjoy!
