I didn't really mind Vanko wanting Stark dead, although it was pretty silly. Ghavrel Send a noteboard - 09/05/2010 05:29:32 PM
People like Hammer are not CEOs. Hollywood has this infantile way of demonizing what it doesn't like. Large, multinational corporations?! BAD BAD BAD. Military? Run by idiots!

It's like by allowing one large corporation (Stark) to be somewhat realistic, they have to go way overboard and make Hammer Industries just a complete caricature. People like Hammer are just not CEOs.

Perpetuates Hollywood's complete idiocy with respect to anything Russian. Tom - 07/05/2010 06:28:12 PM 530 Views
Who cares? It's Russian. *NM* Kotagg - 07/05/2010 06:45:42 PM 221 Views
I don't imagine I need to tell you they do the same with most other cultures. *NM* Legolas - 08/05/2010 01:03:22 AM 210 Views
I know. On the other hand, as movies become more global they should improve on that. Tom - 08/05/2010 04:32:09 AM 458 Views
Why don't they just do like Team America and Durka Durka their way through the language. *NM* MightyYT - 09/05/2010 05:56:14 PM 395 Views

Yes, I forgot about those pathetic fanboys. *NM* Tom - 08/05/2010 04:33:10 AM 215 Views
Yeah, because Hollywood invented Vanko, Natasha, and Chekhov. *NM* Dreaded Anomaly - 08/05/2010 04:39:37 AM 257 Views
