Captain America: The First Avenger

[Sand]

My non-comic buddy went with me, and at the end kept saying "why the fuck didnt he just pull it up and slide in for a landing on the ice?"

If I tried to land a 747 with no training or coaching, I'd probably lawn-dart it. I bet your buddy couldn't land a crazy Nazi superretrotech fortress bomber.  

He figured out the heading, air speed, his general location and how to plow it into the ice. Figuring out how to pull up immediately after pushing down wouldnt be that hard.
 

The one thing that really annoyed me was the "starship troopers" style battle scenes where you have a veteren infantry regiment running like idiots charging fortified positions whilst shooting full auto from the hip and all killing happens at about 10-20 feet distance. No heavy weapon support, no taking cover, no grenades even. I mean cmon you dont even see shit that stupid in star wars or james bond movies.

That didnt bother me as much as the fact that the American tommy guns of oucrse fired at full auto allowing them to kill 3 enemies every time they pulled the trigger or sneezed. Meanwhile the enemies super lazer beam rifles seemed to fire once every thirty or so seconds.

But they did cool shit when they actually did hit somebody. When you're a bad guy like the Red Skull, killing your enemies in the most awesome fucking way possible totally outweighs poor firing rate and aiming. Also if possible you have to wear scary looking outfits that obscure your vision and provide no protection at all. It's in the Supervillain Manual.
