This is okay! I like that kind of analysis, or dislike it, according to whim, but I am not bothered by its existence, particularly when the questions being asked are "how soon until I can fly?" and "when will I be able to produce propulsion beams from my hands?" I just don't see much interest in an article where the answer is "Never! Isn't that fun?!"
However, the money quote is this:
Call me crazy, but the weaknesses of a real exoskeleton could be a lot more exciting than the simple knowledge that good will always throw evil through a wall.
Dude, you're crazy. How the hell could "oh, this suit couldn't actually exist" be more exciting than wall-throwing?
Wall-throwing!

The movie science was perfect though. "What runs the suit?" "Arc technology! It glows blue!"
They managed to do the whole thing without using "quantum", "nano" or "fusion" -- nope, none of that. Too much dignity for THAT.
Did you catch the cool multitouch stuff? That is the actual cool science of the movie. Watch a couple of Johnny Lee's videos! that stuff is going to start happening pretty fast in the next year or 2.
I'm guessing the Army's final version will not include jet boots or repulsor rays. But that's because they don't have Tony Stark working for them.
