New 'Iron Man' Clip: Tony Stark's Test Flight
Filed under: Paramount, Comic/Superhero/Geek, Trailers and Clips

Paramount has been "letting slip" so much pre-release material for Iron Man that I fully expect Jon Favreau to pop up in an EXCLUSIVE VIDEO! to describe the whole movie scene-by-scene. The latest: this short clip on Apple, showing Tony Stark's rash first test flight in his gleaming new suit. He appears to be very excited about it, and who could blame him? That baby can move.
The best word to describe the May 2nd release continues to be "glossy": it's not clear if it'll have much personality -- it looks to rely very heavily on Robert Downey, Jr.'s sarcasm to set the tone -- but it sure looks good. As for this new clip, I hate to be the guy who chimes in with pointlessly nerdy objections, but "terabytes of calculations"? That just doesn't sound right.

Special fx look awesome, dialogue sounds ridiculous. I hope this movie isn't all action sequences interspersed with crappy sarcastic one-liners.

Oh ye of little faith!
All I want for Mother's Day is to be taken to see this movie.
I tell my family this at least 3 times a day.

Maria- marry me!
To the rest of you, shush. This is obviously a bit of the comic relief as Tony is developing the new suit. The great bit about the RDJ casting is that he can be funny without losing credibility. And if you have read the comics you should know that Tony is not without a bit of a sense of humor.

Maybe he wasn't being literal just expressing how much more work needed to be done.
