I know few, if any, will read this. The special affects are good but they get carried away with the heros and the rival to Stark. The character owns the company (Hammer) and can't do anything to stop or know what they (Vanko) is doing, really. Then a woman that is 100 pounds soaking wet beats up men with more power and we sit and eat it up. I don't want to get political but everything is now, but no self-respecting actor back in the day would allow themselves to be beat up by a woman. Can you see John Wayne, Clark Gable, Clint Eastwood saying, oh the Script calls for this tiny woman that weighs 80 pounds is going to beat my men up and then me, no, NOT HAPPENING. THE PROBLEM is these actors, the men, are willing to take a role like that and if they have juice allow themselves to be beat up by a woman that can't fight. Then the woman outside in the real world think they are tough and the men become violent. That's why, in recent times, the last 50 years, The Predator is far superior to all thses marvel movies and their ilk. Wake up and make things normal and men in movies, grow a pair. (I say this because John Wayne was told, in a script, to shoot a man in the back, he said no way, the character and me are not like that, I will never shoot a man in the back. I don't mean that all these guys are tough or can fight, but you have to draw a line somewhere. BTW, that doesn't mean if she shoots them that's not ok, it wouldn't if I had the pull, it is, but again all the roles are discombobulated and that is a recipe for problems and always will be and that's why children or simple minded love these movies (and these people make money off the "masses") unless pressured to watch with people and do so to keep the peace. But, again, the best in the "alone" Iron man movies is Downey, bar none, but in this one Mickey Rourke is top notch and if I wrote something, definitely he is the go to man!
