I agree - the second installment of the tinman's adventures certainly did leave me a bit confused. Although I was nodding off at times and reminiscing of old bills during the movie, I had high hopes straight through the end credits, which is where I hoped they'd answer some of those questions in outtakes and deleted scenes. *sigh* No luck. Overall, I had the same lukewarm hurrah as I did for Spidey2 (Doc Ock was too chubby for the role but the sexy upside down kiss cancelled out that disappointment so I feel ya on the kissing helmet deleted scene). A few other nits - The Black Widow character had no back-story. Only XMen can introduce new super-heroes with little backstory, cmon. I was thoroughly confused. And why did Iron Man keep buzzing around the Stark Expo when he had the drones on his tail - did he want to increase his chances of killing innocent victims? He shoulda flown into an ewok forest type cover. Lame. And Whiplash's nails were horrendous. Who's his manicurist. That bothered me. I give it a 7.5. Ah, astute observations.
