A typical Marvel-based product

Rating: 1/10 (22 May 2013)

I know that one should not expect anything deep or serious from a comic book-based movie, but with all this talk about the Iron Man movies being psychological, dramatic and stuff, I took my time to watch this one. Well, it started out on a lower grown up level of complexity, but then it turned into a typical Marvel comic stuff. If this kind of a movie is intended for the adult audience, then the audience members should have their IQs rated at no higher than zero. Otherwise one could not watch all this ridiculous stuff seriously. On the technical side, I did understand why all the Al-Qaeda guys carried those expensive modern German-made H&K rifles. 99 times out of a 100 members of those organizations use Chinese, Romanian, Check, Polish or sometimes Russian-made AK-family of rifles and machine guns (mostly the outdated models). The remaining 1 our 100 may carry an old FN or a SIG rifle, if not a WWI-era Lee Enfield. If someone does not know these obvious facts, then he really needs to start watching news reports at the very least. It does not require one to be an expert on terrorist organizations or firearms to know this. It was also funny to witness that shameless Burger King promotion, if you know what I mean. I guess that a true American patriot and a visionary will not eat any Subway food, right? In short, this movie is a childish pseudo-Sci Fi and it does not even cut it as a piece of mindless entertainment.
