I suspect a lot of the people who dislike Iron Man II may be missing the "self-destructing because I'm dying" bit. Tony's actions come off as toweringly douchey -- and they are, I'm not denying -- but if you wrap your head around the reason for them, they're at least explainable. Every douchebag move he makes throughout the entire film is done with a clumsy but ultimately good motive, to make sure things are settled before his death.
