I guess that was pretty vague.
Yes, I agree. Fear not, you're not crazy. Either that, or both of us are. At least, then, you're not alone.

Let's have at it & let slip the arc reactors of war!
Okay- bedtime.

Only sane people think they're crazy. Crazy people don't realise they're crazy and think they sane whilst thinking everyone else is crazy.
Glad you liked Iron Man 2 and I can see what you're saying about the finale. I actually thought whiplash wasn't armoured enough. A quick burst of gunfire and he'd be down but they seemed to want to just slug it out.
Minor points in a great film.

And it was a great film!
Just got back and thoroughly enjoyed it! Dare I say, better than the 1st ? O.K., it wasn't perfect, and there were some minor flaws / issues I had here and there, but it was very enjoyable!
Don't recall a soundtrack I've enjoyed as much either!
Micky Ruorke , Don Cheadle were great, and by all that is holy, thank the maker for Scarlett Johnansson.
So, a random array of things which didn't sit quite well w/ me...
Select to view spoiler:
Johansson's fight moves,when she's taking out the guards at Hammer's complex. They looked fake. By that, I mean as if some of her moves were done on computer, and not actually as they were shot w/ the actors doing the moves as shown. Something seemed 'off', and I don't know why. Cool as heck looking, and I hope I'm wrong here, but with Summer ( bar scene and slaughtering Reavers ) her moves were fluid, quick and simply awesome.
Unlimited ammo w/ - hell, everything. Drones, weaponized Ironman suit....I mean, come on. Not exactly set up for a reload, are they ? That's the drawback of the Ironman suit, and it should have been pointed out more in the movie.... he IS the weapon. ( to quote Spike.... ) There's no room to carry around a ammo cache. Even if you could slap on a gun here, or a rocket launcher on the shoulders, once done, you're done, at least w/ the ordinance part of the suit.
Ivan's bird. WTF was up with that? Was it a special bird ? Did it know things ? If he cared so much about THAT bird, did he just up and leave it , alone, in his apt ? Or,if he had someone watching the bird, why didn't he just tell Hammer's men where to find it. It seemed like a silly disconnect. ( I guess there are some explanations, but it seemed odd as to how it played out. )
Can't track a phone call? When Pepper is trying to track down Ivan's call to Tony, in light of all the high tech, super fast systems and access he has - to EVERYTHING, seemed a bit of a cop out.
I've not read spoilers prior to my posting so pardon if I repeated some things, or can't think of them all at present. I think I hit most of what I had issue with, at least.
p.s. I completely agree about the Hammer character. A total D-bag! I had flashbacks of another classic weasel, Harry Ellis, from Die Hard ( poor schmuck )
Bones: "Don't 'rawr' her!"
Booth: "What? she'rawred' me first."

Ahhh, then I was right, and my eyes weren't playing tricks on me. I'm not so much a fan of CGI being used like that, I must say.
I'd prefer it not be done that way. I'd also prefer to see Ms Johnansson naked..... for what it's worth.

Quote:The CGI was mainly to erase the wires & change little things on the stunt person that looked obviously different from the actor. The things that made it look strange IMO were the artificial speed changes employed.

But it didn't bug me- it's a superhero movie aster all.
