In the absence of a global threat, apart from terrorists, the Bond franchise probably had no other choice but to look for a villain from within their ranks. This the writers did very well, but the end is anti-climatic which seemed to be an attempt to get rid of all of the old actors and start the next Bond movie with younger ones. Even Bond (Daniel Craig) is too old, it is as if the franchise is telling the audience that this is the last one with him starring. For me, he has has been the best Bond. The one failure of the movie is the absence of any real sexual tension between the characters. It is just not what the movie is about, and when the anything sensual happens, it seemed out of place and mechanical. Good movie though!
First of all, it is a fantastic movie. Well done! Second, however, I have to admit that this movie is so dominated by the excellent acting of RDjr, that "Iron Man" are shuffed to the background. This is to be expected though, as Iron Man IS Tony Stark and it is not the same case for instance where Batman has a different "personality"than Bruce Wayne. So expedct to see more Tony Stark than Iron Man in this movie and quite rightly so.
