I somewhat agree with this opinion on the movie, but it didn’t really ruin it for me. When he came back and said, “we’re out of the weapons business”, I cringed.
However, I thought the story was told very well, and he obviously didn’t want to have the weapons he had created destroying those they were meant to protect (I believe that’s an actual line out of the movie). It turns out that his company is committing some egregious acts by supplying weapons to “Taliban” type fighters in Afghanistan, and considering Jeff Bridges was attacking Tony from within the company, then it’s obvious Tony needed to get his company under control. In Tony’s defense, it would be traumatizing to have American soldiers blown up in front of you by weapons you had created.
I really didn’t see any anti-american propaganda, or anything like that. I thought it was a very well done comic book movie, that really highlighted the characters. Downey Jr. was the perfect Tony Stark. I thoroughly enjoyed this movie, as did my wife.
