Need bit more info.
Do you want watch streams on safari, downloaded movies from your pc, other?
There are ways around it and usually requires an app, try this one: https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/downloads-lite-for-ipad-download/id383846063?mt=8
It has a built in brower that might be able to open files safari doesn't.
There are many discussions/solutions to your problem to be found, google is your friend:-)

Apple don't allow flash on it's devices iirc.

You'll need to download the movie/tv show you want to your computer, get a converter to change the file to the right format, then put it on iTunes and sync up your iPad. That's basically the only way other than buying off Apple Store

You can stream movies from your laptop by using VLC and VLC Streamer

You can. You just don't want to pay for them or go through the effort of learning how to do it for free.

To watch live tv use the filmOn app: https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/filmon-live-tv-free/id576167616
The other app I already posted has more "options" to watch movies provided you find more "useful" sites (ok I'll send it in a PM)

Wouldn't mind that pm too if you don't mind.
I well used to torrents but if there's an easier way, I'm all for it

Once downloaded, where do you find em on the iPad?!

Ok I assume you opened the download link in the app and you also saw the file downloading under the download tab (bottom of screen in app). Next to it is a tab that says files, it should be under there...
If you exit the app the download sometimes fails/pauses, next to the file (in downloads) there should be a refresh symbol, click this and the download resumes (or restarts if you're unlucky).
Btw you can watch it on your iPad/iPhone but also use video out (need a cable) or AirPlay to your Apple TV!

Also if you let the iPad go to sleep during the download it stops so you just have to keep refreshing it. Not the worst problem but just to make people aware.

I downloaded skywalk the other day and if was very good.
