You make some interesting points, indeed I feel I would have addressed things better if I wasn't aiming for brevity.

1. Indeed Stane is a stereotype in himself with shades of the Evil Vizier and the greedy tycoon, but the fact that unlike the original story they made the first film of the Franchise Tony's right hand man instead of the easily hatable middle-eastern guy is good, though I would have liked to have seen more from the Ten Rings guy as I think he could have been something great, they even could of used him as the Mandarin in 3.

2. Valid point, but it's just one of those things that comes up in these types of movies. The Bad guy does something incredibly blatant, and yet is still expecting to somehow get out of it okay, problems that would be repeated by Justin Hammer and Aldrich Killian in the later movies.

3. Well like I said, I'm not overly keen on either of them, dare I say I would've aimed more for someone like Terry Crewes, someone imposing, but who can also do comedy, though he's a bit too big for the role of Rhodey.
