Two Minutes Of IRON MAN Repulsor Onto YouTube!!
Merrick here...
This footage appeared on Nickelodeon a few days ago & made its way onto YouTube shortly thereafter.
This may be the most substantial scene from the film we've gotten to date (Sci Fi Channel had their Iron Man -vs- planes & missiles snippet...but I don't think it was this long...or was it?)
Enjoy!

Looks great, and pretty funny too :)
-
this is going to kick too much ass.
-
I like that he's getting his balls busted by the fire system, lol.
-
I'm dying to see this one. Perfect casting.
-
This entire clip, we have all three machines, we have the mark 2 getting destroyed, we have iron monger. Next they're probably going to do the first 15 minutes of the movie or something. Will end up being lack of excitement for the final movie
-
I'm starting to wonder if I should just wait for this to be Netflixed.
-
This movie makes Hulk mad...cause it looks so much better than mine. That is all the people need to know, now please let's save some surprises for the actual movie release
-
I had early reservations about this one, but you've got my ass in the seat.
-
I've seen enough to wet my appetite, I want to bury my head ostrich style for the next two and a half weeks.

Thats the only clip I've seen so far
by nomoredirtyjokespleaseweareyanks
I held out as long as I could but that looks pretty great. Please don't screw up Iron Man.
-
but i didnt realise it was all about arms deals and present day war in the middle east like that oiece of shite transformers til recently so im less thrilled now but it looks very nice and Downey Jnr is cool so no more spoilers til launch.
-
But the Harry Potters do?? Does any of this make any sense?? Will I stop using double question marks??
-
you posted this same clip earlier this morning with the Iron Man reviews, and it still looks bad.
-
love it!!! I wanna see this movie today!

Give us a reason why it looks bad. How should it look?
-
RDJ can do comedy, always could, always will.
-
he has a funny relationship with his robot fire extinguishers. It must douse him a couple times in the movie, once while testing and at least once in full armor.
-
. . . I carefully constructed it out of every image released online. I'm only missing part of the end credits so you'd need to see it in theaters to see the grips through the caterer.
-
hulk gave ironman a proper beat down in the world war series. yeah, its a hulk title, but still...
-
That was a great clip, I loved the little bit with the Robot.
-
y and I love it. Downey is almost exactly what I pictured stark when I read the comics.
I have to admit that we are seeing a lot of the movie, but I'm still paying to see this on the big screen.
Just because I see a scene on a small media player all grainy, doesn't mean the movie experience is wrecked for me in the theater. -
(which was to not watch sneak peeks and clips anymore) and finally gave it a look... And I gotta agree with kafka07, sadly. I don't know if we share the same reasons to dislike it nor if the final product will wash away my doubts, but damn that was unfunny as hell - and even worse: it gives the Stark character a goofy vibe that just doesn't belong here.
The guy is supposed to be flawless. Driven, self-confident, creative; not some billionaire Red Richards having a hard time with his lab stuff. It just makes the character look down-to-earth and "human", when precisely the alcohol addiction was the human flaw that's supposed to pull him back to the human level. If he's awkward and flawed in episode one, there's just no need to make a Demon In A Bottle-like episode two. Wasted concept. -
dilutes the intended product =^(

I think in this case, a bit of over-saturation of media might be needed as nobody outside of comic book circles really knows who Iron Man is, or cares. So it's probably a good idea to show as much as possible to draw in casual movie-goers. Films cannot live on geek money alone...

I am not watching blury crap on youtube... I want my shit to be rocked at the cinema!!!!!!

Speaking of video clips the new Gotham Knight trailer looks amaz

Every time Kevin Conroy speaks as Batman an angel gets laid. True story. -
They're really marketing this to the MTV/Nickelodeon crowd. It also feels like parts of it were purposely shot to look like something you would find on YouTube. It reminds me of how some movies back in the early 2000's had scenes that tried to look like something out of reality TV.
-
What I meant to say was that it reminded me of tech demos you would see on there.
-
Did you even read the comics?? He always had trouble intially, when he use to upgrade the suit or when he first put on the suit. To say this one scene makes him look goofy is just wrong. It justs makes him look like a scientist trying things out. In fact it only took him about a minute to "get it." I mean the moment where he just hovers there, is fucking Iron Man.
-
the guy is a driven, idealistic hunk who reeks of self-confidence. He's supposed to be a Bond-like type: men would be like him, while women would be with him. In the comics.
In that clip (and in some early trailers I watched) he looks - to me at least - like an awkward average Joe test-driving his improved hoverboard. Complete with gags that didn't make me laugh once. Only cringe.
But if you liked it, that's fine. I won't challenge your tastes, nor your knowledge of the comics. Did you even read them, BTW??^^ I fail to understand what kind of troubles (other than physical) he had back in the day. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I thought that was precisely why they added Pep, Happy Hogan (the comedic foils, like, in *contrast* with the protagonist) and later the addiction issue. -
no more! dont spoil the film! i want to see all of it onscreen!
-
doesn't automatically make you an expert at flying jet boots. I liked it. Reminds me of Spidey 1 when peter was first testing out his abilities, i like that they show them struggling to master their abilities. They can't just start out using them all perfectly or it'd be boring to watch.
-
but Spidey is a down-on-his-luck, awkward teenager. Not Stark. Why do they chose to show him stumble in a ridiculous way?
Has the Unicorn got a horn? YES. Does it exist? NO. Would Tony Stark test his stuff? Yes, like any normal scientist. Is he a "normal scientist? NO WAY, he's a rich cool guy who succeeds in every possible way, and not a goofy guy stumbling on his clown shoes.
At least, not to me. -
the Spidey comparison is logical, but the two characters are so different that I don't see any legitimate reason for Favreau to go into camp territory.
I respect your opinion, but this clip looked like a Batman Forever deleted scene to me. -
While I respect the differing opinions given here, with their varying degrees of expertise to back what they say up, I have to admit I didn't see much in the clip that led me to think Stark is some kind of goofball. He looks like a guy trying to fly on jet boots for the first time. It was entirely plausible. And yes, I've read the comics. While he is a sophisticated, cool billionaire inventor type, Stark was never portrayed as infallible, especially in the early years of the comic series. Constantly testing and pushing the envelope is what made him a success, not the ability to "Jet Skate" flawlessly the first time he turns on the boosters. I liked the scene and don't think it demeans or ridicules the character. I'm excited to see this in the theater. Bring it on.
-
I haven't collected "Iron Man" regularly in years (since John Byrne was writing and John Romita, Jr, was drawing the book), so maybe I've missed something. Since when does Iron Man use his hand-mounted repulsors as a means of generating flight thrust? They are meant to be his primary weapons system. What happens if he needs to fight while flying? It's a very small concern on my part, as the film is looking great so far.
-
donwillymo, The Hulk recently beat the crap out of Iron Man, but Shellhead has laid the smackdown on the Jade Giant at least once in the past. I forget the issue number, but Iron Man knocked the Hulk out cold one time, and totally short-circuited and fused his armor in the process. This caused the armor's eye and mouth holes to seal, and Stark was going to suffocate. Luckily, Stark International had Scott Lang, AKA Ant Man, on the payroll, and he was able to breach the Iron Man armor and open it from the inside.
-
was that in the early years of Iron Man he always pushed the envelope and had a few problems intially when trying something new. It would be insane to show him invent the suit, then have him automatically know how to use it perfectly. Having him stumble a bit is fine and it wasnt goofy looking IMO. And like I said before, the end where he is just hovering there is pure Iron Man.
-
but i've read a lot about marketing oversaturation on this film. but the clip looks very cool, better than i thought, i think downey will make this special.
-
duh.
-
otherwise I would have seen as much of the movie as you people complaining about seeing too much of the movie. All I've seen are the tv and theatrical trailers.
-
A little worried about the early review that said all the good parts and action were in the trailers, but I'm still there opening day.
-
I think they're right.
-
if it's true that the Mandarin is somehow involved with this movie?
-
I dunno. I think fanboys will be able to pull themselves out from behind their gaming systems for 2 hours.
-
what is GTA 4 being released on?
-
Fuck off. It is awesome. Ok, the fire extinguisher bit is a little campy, but the flying is awesome and so it Stark's reaction. The physics on it look amazingly real and he's not acting like a goofball at all, he's acting like anyone would - even the coolest, most confident motherfucker in the world - when flying for the first time. If anything, it is TONED WAY DOWN. I mean, if any of us got the chance to do something like that I think it would sound something like this: "HHOOOLLLYY SHITT!!! I'M FUCKING FLYING!!! OH MY GOD!!! HOLY SHIT, HOLY SHIT, HOLY SHIT!!! AAHHHH!!! HOW THE FUCK DO I CONTROL THESE THINGS?!?! OH MY GOD THIS IS FUCKING AWESOME!!!" And then we would slam into something and get knocked the fuck out.
-
YEAH MUTHAFUCKS!!!!
-
I'm kind of amazed by how awkward (in a bad way) that was actually.
-
John and Robert totally nailed it when showing his form in flight. It was believable, and realistic no one learns to fly on the first go.
Job well done!
Now no more clips for a few more weeks and i'm sure we will all be happy come opening weekend. -
Well, im not one to get easily excited by snippetts but this has got my juices flowing. is Downey the coolest actor at the moment?
-
from the comics? Suddenly Iron Man is the wisecracking super hero even more than Spidey. It worked better in the comics with Stark being a cool, collected guy.
-
I'd like to hear your reasoning for why the direction was bad here. Then, I'd like to see you film and cut the scene better.
-
Iron Man has now officially passed Indy4 for the #1 spot my 'looking forward to' list.
-
The movie is a lot of fun but the music, as you can hear in this clip, destroys it. All of it. Too bad.
-
to anyone that it's he's acting kinda goofy talking to himself... if you've ever worked on developing any complicated project, be it electronics, a program, a robot, anything... you do kinda get loopy and talking to yourself (and inanimate objects)after a while. It's only when the inanimate objects start talking abck that there are issues... :-)

fAVREAU IS THE MAN
-
I can't wait! IRON MAN seems to be the movie that will bring back superhero as they SHOULD be! But I've seen this clip 2 days ago at superherohype.com
AICN, thought you guys were insiders and got the scope early?! -
NOTHING. To those who say it doesn't fit the character, or that the scene is "badly directed" - seriously: can it. Quit trolling for the sake of trolling.
If Stark had been able to fly perfectly, without running tests, it would have been silly. As far as talking to his automated safety system/robots; well, they are somewhat intelligent (albeit overprotective), and they obviously understand what he is saying. Why shouldn't Stark speak to them as if they are intelligent? I don't see any sort of camp here. He sounds pretty damn serious when he says "Just stand down", almost like he's speaking to a stubborn child. Oh, and Tony Stark does have a sense of humor, end of story. If you disagree, you don't know the character. Goddamn fanboys. I hate you all. You find joy in nothing, except perhaps in BITCHING about anything and everything. Thank God fanboys don't make movies. -
please be good please be good please be good
-
well at least it doesn't look to be a perverted creation like SM3 or X3 or Hulk. It's sad when you are thankful for a superhero movie that just doesn't suck, but that's where we are now. Iron Man will probably be harmless and mildly entertaining. Maybe it will make the money that Incredible Hulk loses.
-
We saw this and several minutes more at Wondercon.
-
At least for superhero geeks, it could very well be just that.
It may not be as good for "general audiences" as say, Spiderman 1 & 2 or Superman 1 & 2, but this looks like it will kick serious ass and make most superhero/comic book geeks have geekgasms. -
should not be made into a movie. It'll ruin all my good memories of it. Trailer is great tho.
-
and went to Wondercon. Whatever that is.
-
Actually Looking forward to this more than DK (seems Iron Man has established a whole new tone for the Superhero genre), Favreau's got a good sense of humour and he obviously works well with actors, being one himself (plus his stand-up years have helped no doubt) IMHO he's struck just the right balance here, Downey alway's brings his game, class act, love his schtick with the fire-bot. Roll on May!
-
What the hell do you know about directing? Looks good to me and I've pointed cameras for a living so SHUT UP. Okay? Good. Stupid armchair directors. Favreau is a good director because he's genuinely bothered about character. Everything I've seen about this film so far makes me keen to see it and I hate superhero movies!

I live in a town where the ONLY theater is IMAX, and when they show non-IMAXed movies, its just awful.

Haha damn Enter button.. hehe

Did you miss the fact that amidst the humor we were being treated to real coolness? The little throwaway about operating at "1 percent", the fact that, though he's SLIGHTLY out of control, and there's some humor in this, the sequence ends with a perfecti, iconic, Iron Man controlled landing. It's a very cool Becoming Iron Man moment. And you jackasses who can't enjoy a superhero film unless it's a dark and grim and moody, with the character all BAD ASS scowling all the time, just missed it. The hell with you Psychotically Angry Superhero fanboys.
-
... what kind of miserable human beings are you that you can't enjoy a superhero film unless the superhero is CONSTANTLY being badass, super-competent, and a joyless fucktard? Probably because that's what you are yourselves. I spit on you.
-
Superman The Movie remains my favorite superhero movie of all time, and one of the great highlights is Reeve's goofy Clark Kent. And I think it really made the character much more likeable. I think Fav will probably do the same with Stark - give him a humorous side as well as a serious, save-the-world hero side too.
-
Don't hold back. Let it all out.Now release.

He tends to spit ...

CHAN AND TUCKER REMAKE MASTER OF THE FLYING GUILLOTINE!!
by bringingsexyback
With Chan as the Master, and Tucker providing the head! Great!
-
From the looks of it, Downey is good for Stark in that he'll be able to put across that this guy simply wants to do the right thing, and he has the money and resources to do it--and has a little fun in the process. But fans know (and the comics bear out) that like most people, Stark has personal problems. But I don't think this movie will address those just yet.
-
Throw a little more hate into your post next time, make him feel at home.
-
X Men 2 + Nightcrawler = greatness
X Men 3 - Nightcrawler = huge failure -
To me, the point has nothing to do with whether or not testing a flying suit is believeable or not. The point is, every clip I've seen is pure camp, and it looks like Tony is ruined already. The Parker comparisons are right on the money, I thought exactly the same thing. It smells far too much like trying to bring that same demographic in, and as a result, a movie I've been waiting 25 (im 34 and got into Iron Man around the age of 9) years to be made is going to completely falsify an iconic character in the eyes of the general public. There are STILL people out there who think the Joker killed Bruce Waynes parents. Of course I will see it, I see every comic movie eventually. I did not however pay theater, rental, or DVD prices for either FF movie or the Punisher, and poor Tony is starting to look like a download. :D
-
between the jaded, clueless fools on one side and the sheepish, easily impressed on the other, it's good to see someone who actually knows what he's talking about.
-
And face it, Iron Man is all about the suit. Did you all REALLY love the Iron Man comic because of Tony Stark's drinking problems? Sure you did.
-
He grimly holds sacred the Holy Writ of comic book SERIOUSNESS. Refused to pay for FF or Punisher? What an uptight ass. He missed quite a bit of loyal Marvelly fun with the FF movies. "Worst Comic Book Movie Ever" Go soak your head in ink.
-
Because it was all serious and shit. And BATMAN BEGINS was the best comic book movie EVER! Because it was all serious and shit. And he hates the movie portrayal of Wolverine because Wolverine isn't ugly and BADASS and grimacing all the time, and his favorite spidey villain is Venom.
-
I was super negative, wasn't I.
-
Just not "serious". Note how the biggest complaint about that movie is that they "ruined" Dr.Doom? In other words, "ruined" a BADASS character. The BADASS superhero fanboy only cares about badassery. Any other quality is unimportant to the insecure, wishes-he-were-a-badass-too idiot. Is there humor in the film? Is it kid-friendly? This distracts from the wannabe-badass's vicarious participation in the coolness of being a badass. YES, Fantastic Four, and Fantastic Four II were good superhero films. If you've ever bothered to read the early episodes of the comic book, you know that they are incredibly faithful to the mood, humor, FUN of those books. A Badass Fanboy wouldn't pronounce a FF movie "good" unless Sue Storm got raped by Doom, and the rest of the team stood in the rain looking grim and badass while heavy metal music played, before gorily tearing Doom apart. Get fucked
-
That was what I was saying.
-
Are you a badass muthafucker like 2for2true? He stabs "shitheels" in the mouth with his #2 pencil in the theater when they start yapping. Do you yell something before hitting someone in the nutsack? I think you should have a war cry or something. Maybe paint your face too.
-
Yes, you are correct that they followed in tone with the early issues of FF and they were kid friendly. But that doesn't make them good films on the whole. The casting of and how they portrayed Doom was pathetic. Sorry, but he is supposed to be a badass powerful, evil villain. He was not in the movies. The dialog did not need to be so atrocious to make it kid friendly, and of course Jessica Alba as Sue Storm was bad. Pleasing on the eyes, oh yes. But Iron Man will kick all sorts of ass, that we can agree on.
-
Is this the beginning? Are they, along with the revamped Batman franchise, finally getting it right? Hmmmm.
-
Daredevil goes, it was a lot better than either FF movie and the Punisher. Batman Begins was 10 times better than either FF movie or the Punisher.
For the record, I think Hugh did a great Wolverine, cept X Men 3 fell apart completely.
