When studios release their teaser posters, the image is usually something really rad.  Something that makes you say, "Dang, that's a movie I'm itchin' to see."  There should be a lot of thought that goes into a teaser poster.  You need a strong image that is going to convey that desire to want to see the movie.  When there already is anticipation, a good teaser can just put that longing over the top.  You want to take advantage of the excitement and really deliver a powerful image that is just going to blow everyone away.

I'm sure we all agree that there is a lot of anticipation over Iron Man 2.  What appears to be the teaser has been revealed .

 
 


I think I'm a little speechless.  And not necessarily in a good way.  Apparently this teaser was shown at the Cinema Expo in Amsterdam this week.  Is this for realz?  I hate to say it doesn't really blow me away.  But then, does this movie really need a "blow you away" image?  We're all going to see it, no doubt.  What could the image be?  Another image of Iron Man suited up?  What would be really good is very small glimpse of War Machine , or better yet, Black Widow .  Perhaps they'll save those for later.  Studios have been good at released a ton of movie posters as the release date approaches.

Does this get you excited or disappointed?  Part of me feels like someone's playing a joke on me.  What would be your ideal teaser poster?

I don't like this teaser poster. I don't know exactly how to say what I don't like about it, just, I don' t like it. Still, the movie itself could be good.

I kinda wished Iron Man 2 was named something else like...

Iron Man: Code of Arms or Iron Man: Loaded

I think they're just waiting to hit us with more images later down the road.  Making fanboys wait, stir up the buzz.  Nothing to worry about, I am certain we will get plenty of IM 2 posters and images when all is ready.

Don't know what everyone else is talking about but this poster gets me all excited....  On second thought not really.  What a crappy teaser.

It's not a teaser, it's probably a poster the forgot to put up at Comic-Con last year and the figured..."Better Time The Never!"

I think they should of put an image/hint of the villain of the film (even though he's all over the internet already!)
WHIPLASH!!!

Somehow I imagined a teaser poster would look better. Like, with a tease.

I'm leaning more towards that this isn't an "official" teaser poster.  It might've been something thrown together for the Cinema Expo thing.  You would just think we'd get something with more oomph.

I wouldn't really call it a teaser ... .

anybody could do that on Photoshop, or even Paint.

Haha, that's enormously funny for some reason. Excellent.

I don't know why some people are so excited for Whiplash. Am I missing something? Every time I see that image it makes me not want to see the movie. Ok, that's a lie, but it doesn't make me want to see it any more. That teaser poster sucks as well. A War Machine image would be amazing, but you're right, that's probably being saved.

Hm... I haven't seen the poster in Amsterdam yet. Maybe i missed it, I'll pay more attention next time i'm close by.
