Tony Stark's transformation would have been more believable for me if he was the one who invented military weapons. But they were invented before he was born. I can understand him wanting to clear...

It's just too bad he doesn't feel the US military has the right to act the same way if he's considering not selling weapons to them anymore. And questions the morality of doing so.

Yes, I thought that's what we were debating. I'm saying that the set up was poor and his motivation weak.

At the press conference as soon as he gets back to the US. He announces that he's completely shutting down the manufacturing of weapons by Stark Industries.

And so he creates a superpower-armored suit that shoots missiles. That's logical. Even after this technology falls into the wrong hands, Tony decides to keep playing the superhero. Sounds like the...

Sorry. Not strong enough. There's a shot in the scene of the SWAT Team moving up the stairs but nothing ever comes of it.

In your opinion, why is it more exciting for Neal to stroll out of the...

There's a shot of the SWAT Team moving up the stairs - or some other special forces unit. They were just never utilized.

"Escaping" from the hotel and getting killed at the end are two different scenes.

I specifically said that heroes in other films do 180 turns and it works fine. Tony Stark's just wasn't set up properly, IMO. His motivation for completely switching directions was weak to me.

His 180 turn was unbelievable to me too. There are plenty of main characters who do 180 turns near the beginning. Tony's was just too unbelievable IMO.

Thank God there was enough diversity! I was afraid there wouldn't be. Oh! And at least one or more references to the F word. That's important. And there were a lot of good jokes.
