As a design engineer, I just know too much of the R & D process and physics to buy how he was able to pull off the stuff he did. I would take hundreds of engineers years to come up with what he did in weeks. And the multiple-dozens of G's he must have pulled in the suits would have left red mush in the bottom of it.

Still a good movie, but I didn't understand the significance of the little blurb at the end of the credits.

We'll have to agree to disagree about human caused global warming until the next global cooling scare comes along.

What blurb at the end of the credits? - mkuller 12:05:23 05/05/08 (3)
...and remember - it's based on a COMIC BOOK, not to be confused with real life/science/physics.

  At the very end of the credits, they show some black man in Iron Man's house telling him he isn't the only Super Hero and introduces himself as part of some sort of league of super heros. I never read the comics, but I assume it is the equivelent of the Justice League Superman is part of.
  
  Yes about the comic bood/movie stuff, but come on, he is shot with a missle and in a fraction of a second he is pushed hundreds of yards. That's hundreds of G's. Well, I guess that's just my problem.

  - Not "Justice League." He is part of "The Avengers." - Enophile 16:18:21 05/05/08 (1)
    D'uh!
    
    ;)
    
    Suspending one's disbelief, and what can foil the experience, is a fascinating subject.
    
    I know a lady who's kid goes to my kid's school, and one day, while waiting for the kids, she decided to start telling me how much she hates Sponge Bob Squarepants.
    
    She specifically mentioned a scene in which there is a fire that Sponge Bod puts out using a bucket of water.
    
    The woman said how ridiculous it was that Sponge Bob would keep a bucket of water around, since he lives under the sea; and, besides, how could a bucket of water have put out a fire that's already under water?
    
    She said that scene was a deal breaker for her being able to enjoy Sponge Bob.
    
    Apparently, she was OK with a talking kitchen sponge who is a fry cook in a talking fish community that includes a crab whose daughter is a whale; but that bucket of water on a fire was just too much to handle.
    
    Anyways...
    
    Our enjoyment of film is funny that way. Perhaps when a movie fails to make you suspend your disbelief, it is because it is not enchanting enough to take your mind off of those liberties they take with the laws of physics?

      ...my kid play with that lady's kid anymore.
      
      Her logic is pretty scary.
