Re: IRONMAN 3 - Spoiler alert [Don't read if you haven't seen yet]

I liked Ironman 3 but it was missing something. I think that something is good story direction.
The movie had some serious problems (Ie. Things I didn't like). If you read past this point You will find spoilers.
I am going to list my problems with the show. Mostly things that I didn't like or thought could be better.



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)

Problem 2 - I understand that they wanted a more powered down Ironman for this story, but they forgot that Tony keeps suits at his house, in his tower, etc. the reasons for him only using the broken and temp suit make no sense. Then to have him just call up his other suits and have them fight at the end shows he didn't have to be stranded with that stupid kid. He could have just have a new working suit come to his location. The ending shows this was possible for the almost the whole movie. If his basement was blocked, send them from the Stark tower etc. Or use the suits in the basement to clear the rubble off.

Problem 3 - The bad guys, What are their powers, they seem to change. Why do we care, why set up a fake terrorist just to kill the president and replace him with the vice president. At first I thought that they just created the terrorist so that they could explain away the exploding people from their experiments that they wanted to keep secret, Setting up the terrorist to stop them from looking closer. Also why act like a terrorist and willing suicide bomb yourself if it was just for some weird corporate/greed motivation. It doesn't add up to me. Also why would the solidiers in the bad guy army be all pumped to be experimented on so they could get blown up, commit treason, etc. Having the bad guys be vets that are amputees that got super powers so they could blow up and forget their country seems off to me. Here let me grow your arm back, now please go downtown and blow yourself up as payment for your arm. Who would care about an arm when they are dead.Then they show that this was because the main villian wanted Tony to feel desperate. I don't know but the motivations for all the bad guys seem unrealistic.

Problem 4 - The kid in the middle of the movie. Seems forced and seems like Disney intervention. That kid was a horrible actor added nothing to the movie.

Problem 5 - Pepper Potts - being the real hero. I went to see Ironman 3, Not Pepper Power. Not only did Ironman fail in saving her and protecting her but after a few injections she was easily able to rip apart a rougue ironman suit and defeat the main villian. (And did anyone every doubt from the moment they showed Peper getting the injections that she wouldn't become a super hero before the end of the show?) This was stupid. Also why are the trained exmilitary powered up bad guys so much weaker then the newly created Pepper power. those suits were able to take those random powered bad guys out easy enough, but Pepper could just rip the suits apart..Dumb, and lazy story telling.

Problem 6 - Shows that Tony isn't even a requirement and actually makes no sense for him to pilot the suits. At the end when we get to see all the other Ironman suits being flown around on their own, it shows that Tony doesn't need to be involved in the operation of the suits at all. They are capble of operating completely on their own. So why would Tony ever put himself at risk. Also if he really wants the control over the suit, they also show that he can remote control the suits perfectly. So from this point on, When ever Tony is in danger while wearing his suit. It is because he is stupid for putting himself at risk and forgot that they can operate without him or that he can have perfect remote control with no need to be in physical danger himself anymore.

Problem 7 - The suits keep falling apart. Seems like once every fifteen minutes we were seeing an ironman suit being nocked over and falling into multiple parts. Mostly it was the same suit, but still I found it annoying that it was falling apart all the time. If it is that fragile how the hell does it protect him so well when the script calls for it.

Now I did find this film better then Ironman 2 but it doesn't come close to Ironman. I would give it a 6 out of ten.
