Of course it's my "thing", considering the amount of shlock on my movie list. Hence the disappointment. But yes, the trailer is played dead fucking serious, and if you disagree, you're the one living in a different world than the rest of us.

Hell, even you admit this later on in your post, after watching the trailer.

Trailers aren't the be all end all, but it gives the viewer the best impression of the film before actually watching it.

Also, considering the track record of comic book adaptations, the odds of it being played up for laughs are very low.

I wasn't when I first heard of it, even less when I saw the fairly horrible trailer, but apparently it holds 93% at rottentomatoes, a site which I generally pay little notice to but I can't help but recognize that that's fairly high, even if it only has some 25+ reviews. Also, it has Stellan Skarsgård.

Don't pay attention to those worthless fucking scumbag shills calling themselves "critics". Any big studio blockbuster is going to have wildly inflated scores.

You know what the RT score for "Revenge of the Sith" was when it first came out? Something like 95%. It was also total shit.

I thought the one trailer for C&A I've seen (think it was on during the Super Bowl, probably what you'd call a "teaser") was fairly great. I was looking forward to it before, and even more after I saw that trailer.

I mean, it's Indiana Jones and James Bond and aliens in a western setting. There is basically no way I'm not going to look forward to it. It may suck, but as I've yet to see it I'm yet to know whether or not it sucks so I will continue to look forward to it. I guess I've not yet become such a cynical bastard.

Iron Man 1 & 2 are perfectly entertaining, if not outstanding, as far as I can see. Favreau is ok, so yeah.

Though to be fair, I just watched the actual "trailer" for Cowboys & Aliens and it was pretty much horrible, then again if you think trailers actually represent the finished product you clearly don't live in the same world as the rest of us. Anyway, judging from that trailer it may seem overly serious but judging from the teaser I saw and every other piece of evidence at hand it's not going to be so ease up a bit. The Iron Man films certainly aren't that so you're not really making too much sense either way.
