I enjoyed Tony's journey, but though the whole Resident Evil 4 ending was a really, really sub par. Put on a suit, beat the shit out of "Bad Super Soldier Serum Dudes #2" and move on with your life. <br /><br />If your armor can withstand Thor swinging goddamn Mjolnir, hot-hands ripping you up is a bit of a side-eye moment.FramersMainhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00593189635600816676noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2360996933412955386.post-61238745620005307912013-05-06T16:00:12.046-04:002013-05-06T16:00:12.046-04:00Have you noticed, that to this point only one of I...Have you noticed, that to this point only one of Iron Man's entire rogue's gallery has appeared in a film? (Accepting your premise that Vanko is an original character, as is, I would argue, Aldrich Killian, who was so minor in the comic book that I didn't remember him at all). I would have been able to forgive the horrible mislead with the Mandarin if only there had been a minor villain who showed up just long enough for Iron Man to win a fight without his suit exploding every time it was struck (I really thought Iron Man seemed humiliatingly fragile in this movie)- and if that fight was not filmed in un-followable Micheal Bay's "Transformers" hyperspeed. <br />Am I the only one who spent twenty minutes really hoping that there was another Ben Kingsley behind the scenes, instructing Guy Pearce to take all the credit, only to come out as the actual Mandarin in the last quarter? <br />I feel like the twist might not have ruined the movie as much, had I known about it, and wasn't so horribly let down by the mislead.Iron Eaglenoreply@blogger.com
