hey Hawk,
I was not saying you're wrong in that IM 3 was not well written, I was merely expressing my view that I didn't see it as full of plot holes as you had portrayed. So I won't spend a whole lot of time defending this lackluster film but let me clarify that first point a bit further.

No worries Bud,
I really enjoyed reading your post and this one.
Thanks for the replies.

Problem 1 - Iron Patriot suit??? Huh - so the iron patriot suit is taken by the bad guys so easily. they just heat it up the arm and he goes down, then to get him out they heat up the armour until he pops out....This seemed stupid to me. Then on top of it. The bad guy gets in the suit and has full control boards the plane, put the president in suit, but for some reason the president has no control....Huh? Then they leave the president in the suit...double Huh?? They explain when all the Ironman suits show up they are all encoded to Tony so only Tony can use them. Why can the bad guys use Iron Patriot, and why is the president unable to use the suit? Makes no sense at all. Then when Rhodes gets the suit back, it works just fine for him again...I really really don't get any of this. Seems like they would just change the rules for the use of suits as it suited them..(pun intended)


I believe it is implied that the bad guys are able to take down Iron Patriot so easily is because they have some understanding as to the suit's vulnerabilities as Aldrich Killian's AIM company was able to obtain all sorts of information about the suit while designing it's current operating system. That is also why Killian is able to control the suit. It is shown that the suits need to be coded to specific users and that suit does a retinal scan as part of determination of whether person can or can't use the suit. Tony programmed his suits for Pepper as well as himself. Ironically, the President is not authorized. Tony is able to trap Killian in his suit because Killian only has control over Iron Patriot suit.


I really really do not remember any part of the movie that explained this. I could have missed it but I do not remember any explaination or even any hint at one.


Okay, admittedly... it's all info extrapolated from the merest hint :
As Rhodie is flying into a trap, Tony contacts him, asking him who designed the suit's latest OS. Rhodie replies that it was AIM so Tony asks him permission to backhack the network to find out more about Killian. SInce AIM had designed the OS and had active networking to it, they could easily have pushed a button to shut it down (which sorta goes back to your problem 6 ) but it wouldn't have been nearly as dramatic a scene yet still suggests they had some level of control over it. Although not explicitly stated, there's just no way one could design an OS for cutting edge proprietary hardware without some knowledge of how it works.


Yeah like I said I may have totally missed the moment, I totally missed this. I have no memory of this scene at all.
