We've put up the Superbowl trailer poll, however it dawned on me that some of you may have missed some or all of the trailers last night. So, in an effort to please our loyal readers, in this post you'll find a few of the trailers from last night -- with the exception of Wanted and Prince Caspian, since we posted those two the other day (and you can check them out over here). Above, you'll find the spiffy Iron Man commercial -- a film that finds Robert Downey Jr. in the role of Tony Stark, aka Iron Man. I dug this one a lot, and I'm sure most of you did too. One trailer I forgot to mention in my last post was The Incredible Hulk. Now that's a movie we should've gotten a trailer for. The fact that we're in February now, and only two pictures from the film have arrived online is pretty pathetic. I'm not sure what the marketing plan is with Hulk, but the folks behind it need to get into gear and give us a friggin' poster, a teaser, more photos -- something, anything. Like, yesterday.
Below you'll find the trailer for Pixar's Wall-E, which played more like a cute short film ... and it was, well, cute. The addition of the Toy Story characters gave the film some good street cred, and even though Wall-E feels like Short Circuit meets E.T., I'm sure the folks at Pixar will once again find a way into our hearts come later this summer. Check out the Leatherheads Superbowl trailer after the jump ...
And here's the trailer for Leatherheads, which I can't quite get a good read on. George Clooney always does a bang-up job behind the camera, then again this will be the first all-out comedy he's directed. John Krasinski (The Office) has starred in some duds since crossing over to the big screen, and so he'll need this film to help further his career. Looks decent enough; what do you think?

they deffinatly shorted the public on an Incredible hulk trailer. I was watching the superbowl and the night at the roxburry pepsi max commercial came on and then when someone brought up "Semipro" and how it looked funny it reminded me of the post you guys gave us a while back saying that there would be an incredible hulk teaser durring the superbowl, I brought it up and everyone was stoked to see it, well the 2 minute warning came and went and no Big green badass, everyone was dissapointed to say the least, they are going to have to do something if they want to world to know that this isn't going to be like ang lee's disaster of a hulk they need to let us know, and soon! (and thanks for letting me down cinimatical for telling us about a hulk SB spot)
