Completely stupid that Rhodey wasn't in the film. Even worse, Fury had the option to have Rhodey officially as apart of the Avengers Intiative at the end of Iron Man 2. Iron Man approved but not Stark. Okay then, just reassign Rhodey to the Intiative considering that not only is he a soldier and capable of following orders, but he's the War Machine. Problem solved.<br /><br />Also, we do have one great third film in the comic book genre and it's the film that everyone online seems to be so up in arms about yet give Avengers a pass. <br /><br />The Fire Rises.corysimsnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6937848248469121586.post-21101941791433721002012-10-23T11:11:27.682-07:002012-10-23T11:11:27.682-07:00Very difficult to get excited over - I think, in t...Very difficult to get excited over - I think, in the confines of a smaller Marvel Movieverse, I'm going to be asking exactly why Tony can't just call on the Avengers to help him. I'm also not a big fan of the fact that hey, it looks like it's Pepper getting caught and tortured by the bad guy - Given Tony's dialogue about not being able to live if he loses something, why couldn't they have Rhodey be kidnapped? One of the few comprehensible plot points in Iron Man 2's non-plot was the strength of the friendship between him and Tony, but nope, it has to be the major female character at the mercy of the bad guy.Alison Bnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6937848248469121586.post-54779426143449740322012-10-23T09:19:27.506-07:002012-10-23T09:19:27.506-07:00i think it has a great shot, if only for the hirin...i think it has a great shot, if only for the hiring of Shane Black. he consistently does a great job of blending action and violence and would appear to be a great fit for Iron Man. hard to believe that this is his first directorial job in the 8 (technically will be, i guess) years since Kiss Kiss Bang Bang.John Osbergerhttp://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=745156310noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6937848248469121586.post-31101386646989708182012-10-23T08:32:43.578-07:002012-10-23T08:32:43.578-07:00looks mehlooks mehMonicahttp://twitter.com/Monicabbmnoreply@blogger.com
