IMO the best trailer so far:

Sorry, but I have to disagree wth you there. For several reasons...
First, and yeah it is a petty point but still fairly important IMHO, there are no super powers involved. On top of that Iron Man isn't exactly a "coming of age" story like Spider Man. Stark doesn't start out as a nobody, he starts as an extremely successful owner of an advanced weapons manufacturing company.
Oh and the love interest in this movie appears to be his personal assistant (gwyneth paltrow).
Secondly, I was skeptical, as you are, about how he builds the suit in the first place. However after brushing up a bit on my Iron Man origins...he was actually captured and ordered to build weapons by some type of foreign adversary...it seems to have been updated on several occasions to be current with the times. It seems to me as though they, simply, just did that again.
The best part of this movie for me however...was that they started the big VFX action shots long before they started shooting the movie. Basically an industry first, considering they hadn't even cast the lead role yet. Therefore the VFX artists could take their time and do it right instead of being rushed cramped between filming and release deadlines. Yay, John Favreau!
Not only that but it actually looks really, really funny. And to me they couldn't have found anyone better than RDjr to play that role, his delivery is great.
