Yeah ... great movie, they could not have cast anyone better than RDJ as Tony Stark. And yeah, the bit after the credits ... OH FREAKIN YEAH !!!

And if anyone wants to talk about it more, there is always the comments section, which is the cue for the folks who have not seen it to understand that there may be spoilers there.

Indeed. I consider mere greed to be an inadequate motivation for a SUPERvillain. (cue Dr Evil saying "A MILLION DOLLARS!") Compare to the Spider-Man villains... Green Goblin lost his company, then shot himself full of experimental superpower chemicals and went insane, AND went on a vengeance trip against Spider-Man. Dr Octopus wasn't in full control - when his human spirit started to falter, the evil robot arms would take over and do what he would not. Sandman was trying to pay for care for his sick daughter. The alien Spider-suit was, well, alien. And Goblin II was on a vengeance trip AND inherited his father's madness AND was in a romantic triangle with Peter Parker/Spidey AND knew the secret identity!

Those were some motivated villains. It puts Obadiah Stane in perspective, doesn't it? I mean, he wasn't even double-dealing weapons to become the ruler of all Asia himself! He just wanted to sell product. :/
