@goddamnironman: you are correct on 1 and 2 but it is still quite thin as an explanation... as for 4 they should have at least mentioned something... anything! as for 5 when he crash landed shouldn't his next move, be his way of going to the Stark tower? doesn't he have a spare suit there?

Ah! I remembered another one! So when Rowds asks Tony for a suit at the battle towards the end, he said that only he could fly them they were coded to his dna. But Adrich flew one. Pepper flew in one (okay maybe he had made some special parameters for her) the President flew in the Iron Patriot. That line was intented for laughs and that was the problem, they decided to go with funny and over the top action in at the expense of plot... It could have been great. the Mandarin is an amazing villain and they they used was pointless and for what.. for laughs!

The armor's Tony said were coded to him were those ones in the hidden bunker. Aldrich and Pepper both flew in Mark 42, the new experimental armor, that wasn't on the scene when Rhodey asked for an armor. And the president flew in the War Machine, which AIM upgraded to the Iron Patriot (that's how tony viewed those Extremis experimentation videos in that Fanboys' trailer. Therefore, of course it's reasonable to believe AIM could hi-jack it, and abduct the president by putting him inside the armor and remote controlling it.

I swear, pay attention to the movie, instead of just being so quick to rag on it.

4 stars? Really? The movie was filled with plot holes and cheap laughs. They sacrificed major plot elements for a ridiculous attempt at "funny". The Avengers was funny as well, but a every joke was well timed, this was like they said "so the audience wants a sassy/funny RDJ..."

Can't believe Feige had no problem with this...

I went to the theater with really high expectations and it was one disappointing moment after an another. let me tell you some (I.e. vent some frustration):

1. So Tony fights Thor in the Avengers, takes a huge hit with his hammer and all is well. In IM3 the suit gets by a freakin' bus and falls apart?

2. The point in Iron Man 2 was that Tony Stark needed a new reactor and created a BRAND NEW ELEMENT on the pt so he wouldn't die. in IM3 all he did was have a surgery. couldn't he do that in IM2???

3. So Tony Stark owner of an arms and military manufacturing company, inventor of the Iron Man suit doesn't have a radar or something installed in his home and learns that a rocket is heading towards it via the news on tv?

4. the President of the US gets kidnapped and no mention of Shield or Cap America.

5.He built the Stark tower in the end of the Avengers. why didn't he go there to recuperate and stayed in some small town in Tennessee?

6. When Pepper fell, he thought the love of his life died and his next move was to make a joke.

And I have plenty more of these if anyone's interested.

Ya, these things made me disappointed.... but I tried very hard to find some reasonable explanation over those plot holes:

1) Mark 42 is a prototype, not combat ready. (as mentioned by Jarvis when the house is being attack) And it's Tony Stark's first armor that assemble in pieces.

2) Remember when the movie 1st start (yr 1999), he met Chen Lu, a surgeon. Then after the Mandarin (or whatever he is) event, he may start to recall there is a skilled surgeon to help him do the surgery. OR Stark is very skeptical about everything and he don't trust the others so much, so he tried to did it in his own way.

3) Seriously, me too, have no Fucking idea why... the only explanation is some sort of stealth tech missiles.

4) I think S.H.I.E.L.D has their own business going on....which I hope they will explain it in Captain America 2 (same time the Mandarin event going on). It will be elegant if Marvel done it that way in all solo sequels to explain what after IM3 and why the rest of the Avengers didn't show up.

5) in the movie, Jarvis said that Stark "thinking" the place he wants to go when he is blackout, Jarvis and the armor is controlled cybernetically...it's is possible that Tenesse is somehow related to Stark, and he wants to go there.

6) "Is everything a joke to you?" both pepper and Rogers had asked tony, lol

5) This isn't a plot hole! It's explained in the movie. You know when Tony was playing CSI with his virtual crime scene, and he had it display all heat signatures around 3000 degrees, that weren't Mandarin "bombing" sites? Well the only one was in Tennessee, therefore he had Jarvis set up a flight plan or something to go there. After the attack on his home, the suit went on autopilot, and followed the last registered flight plan, to Tennessee. That's why, when he was in Tennessee, he was investigating the "bomb" site, and met with the "bomber's" mother, instead of just chilling with the boy, and repairing his armor.

As for the Mandarin, I'm not emotionally invested in the character, so it's not possible for me to be upset with the twist, but after excepting that Comic Book Movies are NOT set in the same universe as the comics, and that they ARE allowed to reinterpret characters, I find that twist like this are refreshing, because since we do read the comics, there would be no surprises in the movies if they were 100% true to the source.

@Onemoreposter: Yeah, Ricci could have made a great X-23 10 to 15 years ago. Now, I think Adelaide Kane, the evil cyborg chick from Power Rangers RPM would make a good Laura.

I love it, especially the eyes. They're perfect. The bold web patern is also a plus. I never cared for the raised web patern though. Would have preferred if they were more flat.

Wonder if they'll keep that weird turtle / human feelings Donatello has for her in the nickelodeon tv series. I always get weirded out by that, then again Donatello doesn't really have much to choose from.

I said it before and i'll say it again, "people think Donatello's feelings for April are weird because they don't have the hindsight to question if 4 TEENAE males who never saw a female before wouldn't fall in love for the first one they meet".

How would Donatello know she was female though, I mean I see two turtles in a tank not sure which one is which.

Well, don can always do things for April lol besides if they got together lol, male turtles have "thingies" lol it's not like it's that hard to tell, when they get aroused to mate they come out kind of. Not so sound odd or random lol but yeah. As far as the rest, the turtles are mutated and also grown smarter due to it like humans or similar.

What I find funny is in the cartoon it seemed Michaelangelo liked her, the movie Raphael and in the new show Donny lol. I don't know if Leo ever had the hots for April though.

Leo likes Ninja babes, like Lotus Blossom and Karai :-)

I seem to remember Mikey having the hots for that Neutrino girl.

WOLVERINE, OR TWO BATMEN??

Awesome. So awesome in fact, that I had to log in and quote it. :-)

I don't really get the whole, "Wolverine and Cyclops are the new Xavier and Magneto" idea. Wolverine and Cyclops are more alike now in there ideals than ever before, and more than Xavier and Magneto ever were. Both Logan and Scott believe in Xavier's dream, but take it upon themselves to fight the hard battles and proactively defend mutants to ensure there survival. They are like two sides of the same coin really.

Yep, a little on the disturbing side, but it was the first thing I thought of so I had to share it with the world. >:)
