We saw Iron Man 2 over the weekend. The movie had some solid special effects, including some high speed flying chases. However, I disliked the character that Mickey Rourke played.

He came across as the “typical” Russian super-genius (beginning example, genius bruiser also), capable of building anything, taking control of anything, an surviving almost anything.

I didn’t like the movie as much as the first one, even though it opened up some more story lines within SHIELD.

I’d give it a 3 out of 5.

When we got home, I played the credits for her.  We saw Logan sitting at a bar in Japan, drinking shots. Apparently, this is one of three potential endings to the movie, which sets up the sequel for Wolverine, to display his life and time in Japan. The ending I was expecting, however, was of a hand crawling over to a decapitated head, setting up the Deadpool spin-off. My wife found that interesting, that he would still be able to live; she wasn’t aware of Deadpool’s regeneration abilities.

Needless to say, that after seeing the secondary ending, she was much happier. She also likes the idea of a Deadpool movie in the works.
