Why I hated this film


Spoilers
The villain is Generic, pseudo-philosophical spewing bore that I have seen done a million times.

In the first attack scene he's all "No body escapes!" Then when he attacks the Carrier he's all "Oh I tucked those two main characters away safely!"
So crappy-villain ambushes Black Widow and Hawkeye. Then he's all like "I tucked them away some where safe" Two minutes later, Hawkeye and Black Widow are attacking him. . .Alright guess he didn't bother to restrain those two or anything.

Norman Reedus is the film twenty minutes but gets top billing. Also his performance wasn't that good.

Who is that woman reading to anime-villain? Why? What? I don't get it. It is never explain who she is, if she exists, or why she's reading in the Shield base at the end.

Can anyone explain how come Tony was able to fight Technovore in his lair? Iron Man comes in, then Technovore invades his system. They talk. Then Tony launches a rocket. They talk. Technovore has a freak out, and suddenly Tony's Iron Man suit is fine again.

The villain's back story is never explained. Okay, so we're believe that this kid somehow survived a plane crash, but was believed dead, and then was able to reclaim his inheritance and get a hold of black market cyber technology without anyone knowing? Wouldn't a child billionaire returning from the dead to claim his inheritance be headline news?

The origin of this technology is never really discussed. At first when villain was talking about how technology is wrong, et cetera I thought his powers must come from an alien or super natural source. Then you learn its technology and you realize your main villain is an idiot.
The only dicussion we get on the origin of this potentially world destroying technology is: "Oh there's been some experiments but nothing like this."
Oh thank you so insightful.



Ending is BS. No. No. You do not get hit with a laser beam from space and be fine after it. I don't care if you are Iron Man. He should have been a stain on the pavement. That is not survivable.
And of course it wouldn't be an anime adaptation if the enemy didn't have tentacles.

Great review. Stupid movie. Always a monster of some sort to fight. Always a monster.

Yes, the story and dialogue was awful...

... But the animation was phenomenal and was therefore hard for me to completely hate.
