Um, somebody else has probably done a better analysis, but basically it was a typically Republican superhero movie, as you'd expect. There was some shit about Tony bragging he's "privatized world peace" (which is a stupid idea to begin with. A bit like the idea in TDK that the public has to never learn the truth about Harvey Dent ~for their own good~ or some shit. Typical propaganda shit, basically. That said, I did like it just for ScarJo and Don Cheadle and Gwyneth.
