Villain's plot:
After Tony’s shift in morality forces the company to stop making weapons, some people would like to use that technology for themselves.
Rankings:
The first battle scene in Golmira. You see his compassion, but also every weapon in his arsenal.
It continues in and through saving the pilot.
So good that it literally laid the foundation for a decade of movies.
Fantastic. Especially for the time. And they even managed to work in the original armor.
Notes
12 years later and it still holds up. I remember how excited I was at the time, and that same excitement still holds up.
Suffers a bit from the “bad guy is just an evil version of the good guy” that Marvel does.
