I don't mind that Obadiah hated Tony. I think it made sense from the exposition about him taking over the company after Tony's dad died. He'd probably been working his whole life to move up the ranks and finally get to run the company. Then Tony comes out of no where and takes over because of his family history. That would tick me off too. Obadiah probably feels like Tony doesn't deserve to be head of the company and he's just a spoiled brat who parties too much. He clearly thought scientists were interchangeable cogs in a machine cause he assumed other people could figure out the same tech Tony did.

I agree that he shouldn't have known how to use the suit from the first minute he put it on, but I'll let it go so that we didn't have to sit through 20 more minutes of Obadiah going through the same process Tony already did.

What about scenes that bug you in The Incredible Hulk?

Like when....



That's right, there ARE none.

Well, really when it comes down to it, the Stark scene at the end was totally unessesary. And I fle the story was a bit too trunucated.

Fix: Does every superhero movie have to end with a hugh battle sequence? I would like to have seen Tony and Jeff just duke it out man to man with NO suits!!!! How about THAT for doing the unexpected????



No. Because then it wouldn't be Iron Man, it'd be Generic Action Movie #169874.

Chris... Is there a reason he turns green? Was that ever explained?

That, and after spending a whole movie showing how he becomes Iron Man, to have him toss it aside at the end would have been anti-climactic, at best.

But it would be unlike ANY other comic book movie that has been made before it.

I dunno if someone's mentioned this, but here's mine. It's from the same scene you mentioned (when batman and rachel drop 1000 feet). Once batman jumps out the window to save rachel, he just LEAVES the joker and his henchmen in there with all those people. What are we supposed to assume? That the joker was just like "oh, darn," and just left?

I've heard others make that complaint, but it seems really nit-picky. To me, it was clear that the whole point of tossing Rachel out the window, was so that The Joker and gang could get away.

Sure, it may have been clearer if they'd had a shot of the gang running out the door. But still, I thought it was pretty clear.

I would have liked it to be longer myself.
