I’m having a hard time figuring out if Robert Downey, Jr. is even acting anymore. When you see him in interviews, doesn’t he act EXACTLY like his Tony Stark character? Or is his Tony Stark  performance simply RDJ playing RDJ? Either way, I’m seemingly one of the few people on the planet that has reservations about this sequel. Yes, this trailer is superior to the first trailer released a few months ago. More plot is revealed, more action, blattity blah.

But there are some troubling facts:

1) They starting shooting the film WAY before the script was even completed.  Robert Downey already admitted that they would just “make stuff up” on the set.  For a film of this nature, that is unsettling.

2) Haven’t we seen this storyline before? Black and White friends take on the mighty Russians.  Yeah, it’s called Rocky 4.

3) Scarlett Johansson. Her appearance in this film can be its downfall. Sure, she’s attractive. But her acting is worse than a 2nd grade school play.

Enjoy the trailer and some hi-res pictures from the film after the jump. And try to keep your expectations at normal levels on this.
