Then, when it was shown that it was a therapy technique, it showed me that Tony still has unresolved emotional issues concerning his parents, which then set up the stage for a reveal that causes Tony's later actions.

That scene served so many purposes at once - first, it got me caught up in the background story then, it gave me an insight into Tony's attitudes and regrets concerning his parents The same is true about the scene near the beginning with Tony's holographic 'flashback'. And during that whole scene in Peter's place, almost every line of dialogue counted toward something important, with just enough 'fluff' to make it sound like a real conversation instead of 'movie dialogue' (the funny asides like 'please move your leg' and 'your ridiculously hot aunt'), etc. That saved them minutes of precious dialogue it just cut straight to the point. There are really clever time-saving 'tricks' like Tony using the broom to bust open the hatch that caused the Spidey costume to come dangling down. What impresses me about this movie is how much good was done in a short amount of time for each character. Reviewed by AlsExGal 9 / 10 A master class in screenwriting
