I can deal with plot holes as long as the movie is good enough to make me forget about them.
Terminator 2 for instance is filled with holes.
T2? I don't remember any that were really glaring.
But Iron Man 3, sheesh they blew an opportunity there:
- The famous Mandarin twist had balls and was funny I'll admit... but it killed off the most interesting villain the IM universe and the best part of the trailer. All tension died with him.
- Killian was mildly interesting, but not developed enough to be the main antagonist and was a rehash of The Incredibles villain anyway
- Stark vows to protect Pepper at any cost, then does the exact opposite of that most of the time
- Stark gives his home address away (awesome scene) but then fails to set up ANY defense. Why didn't he unleash those remote suits?
- Iron Man suits nearly indestructible in IM1, now get smashed to bits by a truck?
- Plot thread on panic attacks, disappeared
- Plot thread on annoying kid, disappeared
- Iron Patriot, John Favreau, that other chick, all wasted and added nothing.
- Where were the Avengers? At least bother to write them out of the story.
- No continuity with Avengers 2, he blew up all his suits and 'cured' himself, ruining all the previous drama of needing that arc reactor
........ and it goes on
I can take a few issues in any movie but this script was as I said earlier, f*cking lazy
Downey Jnr looked bored comparing it to IM1, was like a 2 hour Tony Stark stand-up
I absolutely loved the trailer and the first 30 minutes of setup, it could have been the best IM movie and possibly the best of all the Marvel movies if it worked with its material.
