Yes, I know who Justin Hammer is, I know how he purchased Stark International when Tony went on his first huge drinking binge back in the mid 80s. See? no. It?s like George Clooney as batman. It?s not Batman it?s George Clooney, Playing George Clooney as George Clooney as Batman. I love Sam, don?t get me wrong. He?s cute, he?s got a great voice and he?s the President of the Galaxy, c?mon.

But as a mater of perspective. You?ve already got one loose cannon type persona in Tony Stark, his drinking binges, his irresponsible behavior, his womanizing. Justin should be the opposite. He doesn?t have to be an old man, he could simply have been more straight laced. Hell simple word choice differences using Sam would have been fine, but instead the director just let Sam Rockwell be Sam Rockwell. Sam?s persona was pretty different in Moon, but not enough to hide who he was, they could have done that.

My point is? you have the most well known of the 6 Black Widows, played by an actress whose largely not worth the consideration, attempting to play the most sex charged and violent of the widows. They should have sent widow number 3, she?s more covert undercover than Natasha. Natasha has always been a covert killer, she told that to Bucky, she told that to Rogers, she?s told that to Fury.

That just wouldn't make sense, considering, you know, Rhodey is Tony's token black friend. And, yeah, it was a bit douchey when he took the Mark II armor to be turned into War Machine, but that's the direction they wanted to with. Who am I to say otherwise?
Well Falcon in the Ultimate Universe is a Genius Inventor as well, is on the Shield Payroll and is in Black Ops person who has already shown he can get past elaborate systems defenses to go where he needs to be.

I?ve always disliked when they change an actor in the middle of a series anyway, but both times they?ve gotten Rhodes wrong. He?s not some meek mouse, he?s a friggin solider, a solider who later became war machine, who only came about cause Tony needed more fire power to take on his own armors in the armory wars, and then later went bat shit crazy and Tony had to make a better set of armor to beat War Machine so he could fix the neural interfacing which drove Rhodes crazy from the get go.

It?s the same huge beefs I have with the crap Fox called Marvel movies? Sorry really? No, that was trite I wouldn?t serve to dogs. Just slight content issues. I still give the movie somewhere from a 3.5 to a 4.5. I'm just hard on movies. I've given like... 5 stars I think twice now. I'm harsh, my friends hate my opinions about movies, but they always come to me for movie trivia.

That?s fine, you can rebuttal my opinion all you want. I already know these movies are not made for comic geeks like me. Iron Man the first one was awesome, even if they used Iron Monger instead of a more rational less obscure villain.

If you think my rant?s on Marvel Movies gets long, watch me bash The Dark Knight. I?ll get frothy at the mouth? and then my make up runs and I look like a raving loon? it?s just not pretty to be a fan girl comic geek. No one thinks about us.
