The way they killed Killian was stupid as well.

They blew him up in the Iron Man suit, among other things, but that doesn't kill him. Yet when Pepper throws a little bomb at him (I assume the entire Iron Man suit would have more than 1 of the bombs) he dies? Lazy lazy writing.

I was reading the IGN after-thought article about this movie and I just don't get how anyone can say this movie was layered with comedy, multiple plot lines, twists, etc. in a good way. It did have some good funny moments, but some of the "funny scenes" were cringe worthy, ie. the Mandarin reveal and the scene where Tony gets the MK.42 back in the base and he is talking to the two guards. It seems as though it was directed towards 8 year old children because it was so lowest common denominator.

The plot wasn't layered at all, it was just littered with plot holes and dumb story elements. I thought the Prometheus script was bad, but no, this was a bad script. Prometheus's script was bad because it left out too much info and didn't make sense. This script was littered with moments of just plain idiocy and laziness.




Edit: holy crap and I forgot about the tech in the van with Tony scene. What the **** was that?

Edit 2: And I just remembered the thing that pissed me off the most, when Tony used a ice-container door as a shield from a bomb that destroyed an entire diner. The fridge scene in Indiana Jones and the Crystal Skull was more realistic than that.
