Negative elements:
There’s kind of a lot of cussing.
There’s a short, totally unecessary scene where Tony Stark (Iron Man) and a female reporter behave innapropriately.
There’s some suggestive dialogue.
Women dress immodestly, and to quote PluggedinOnline’s review, “Stark and straight-arrow military man Jim Rhodes ride one of Stark’s private jets that’s staffed with midriff-baring flight attendants and a stripper pole.”
Tony has no apparent qualms about killing people (bad people, but still…).

Positive elements:
Tony/Iron Man is immoral in the beginning of the movie, but an incident changes his heart (in more ways than one…har har) and he changes his ways for the better.
He pours time and money into creating the Iron Man suit to help the people that the weapons he’s created have been harming.

Other comments:
The structure seemed different to me, more like a long beginning, a short middle, and a long end with a short climax.
The acting of the antagonist was good until he got into his own iron suit, and then something about it seemed off.
Overall, I enjoyed it. Now if they’ll only keep Iron Man on the right path and the next movie decent…It has the same release date as The Voyage of the Dawn Treader (sometime in 2010…I’m not sure what the exact date is).
