I don’t mind suspending my disbelief for a good movie, and I’m sure Iron Man won’t disappoint. But come on – are the filmmakers seriously asking me to believe that a single man designed and built a fully functional, armed, armoured, self-supporting, powered exoskeletal suit – starting with nothing but some molten iron and a few wires – while locked in a cave – in under 24 hours?
I bet it took the props department a month, or more, to build even a non-functional wearer-supported unit out of plastic. I’m all for suspending disbelief in films, and I love exoskeletons, but come on.
