Been away for a while and missed the reply. <br /><br />I've read the full review on your site now, and you don't really say much extra about the Danko plot other than that you don't like the escape plot and repeat that the world's media doesn't cover it.<br /><br />As I said above:<br /><br /><em>While there might not be shots of newspaper headlines or newscasters mentioning the death, we know the news has got out because Stark mentions it when Vanko later phones him.</em><br /><br />It's curious that you'd assume the world's media do not cover the 'death' because none is shown onscreen, and yet assume that lots of people have died in Vanko's original attack despite the lack of shots of news coverage of these multiple murders.<br /><br />We're talking about a <em>comic book</em> movie here. If there's one thing you can assume does not happen in comic books if you don't actually see evidence of it on the page (on screen), it's death.<br /><br />That you knew all that stuff makes your original review seem even more...odd.<br /><br />Fancy commenting on the Kick-Ass post?Five Chinese Crackershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09395982651352498540noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21544361.post-39082403164825141692010-05-08T18:10:54.109+01:002010-05-08T18:10:54.109+01:00You could try reading my slightly fuller review of...You could try reading my slightly fuller review of Iron Man 2, on my website at www.christookey.com. This elaborates on why I think the Danko plot doesn't make sense. I note everything you say about his motivation and tactics, but I knew all that when I wrote my piece.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02088826152433202090noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21544361.post-67534730877777420002010-05-04T13:05:53.117+01:002010-05-04T13:05:53.117+01:00Chris Tookey gets it very wrong a lot doesn't ...Chris Tookey gets it very wrong a lot doesn't he?Daniel Hoffmann-Gillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02531802987223516482noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21544361.post-90251331426861775962010-05-03T12:33:01.941+01:002010-05-03T12:33:01.941+01:00HE DOES NOT!

The only points he can make are that it looks a bit amateur, and he doesn't like the music very much.<br /><br />Er, it's Iranian. They didn't have much of a budget. And it was about amateur rock bands who get arrested every time they practise, not about the lastest hottest new thing. And despite this they *still* make pretty good music.<br /><br />He missed the entire point of the film.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/reviews/article-1260733/No-One-Knows-Persian-Cats-Sounds-like-trod-cat.html" rel="nofollow">What an utter cock.</a>PHhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12442781568629782535noreply@blogger.com
