All I really want to know is if they made full use of Black Widow and Hawkeye.

After waiting about year for it to come out, I'm just relieved it's finally here. It was a fun ride. I want to see it again. I laughed alot, lots of humorous lines and moments. Just having all of those actors in one movie and it worked, which it that much more enjoyable. Enjoyed mentally drooling over Jeremy Renner, Robert Downey Jr., and Mark Ruffalo (who was awesome as David Banner/Hulk). Oh yes, definitely stay until the very end!
Both Black Widow and Hawkeye have significant presence and use throughout the movie. I don't know if that's good or bad thing for you, Lammastide. [Edited 5/4/12 23:41pm] "Funkyslsistah… you ain't funky at all, you just a little ol' prude"!

They'd honestly be the two most interesting members of the current film roster. Maybe I'll check it out.
For subsequent films, though, I'm gonna need some rotation in the line up. [Edited 5/5/12 10:49am] Ὅσον ζῇς φαίνου

A major plot point was that if the heros were able to band together, is it THEY who would be the threat to the alien army. That was proven. The Final Battle was supposed to be a curb stomp in favor of the Avengers. It was a matter of stopping the Cosmic Cube because of the large amounts of collateral damage in a prolonged battle.
Alien bug swarms are a staple of the genre. Not sure why the hate here.
How else would you have established the character interactions and tensions?
I agree. I would rather have seen the police and military making head way and helping the heros.
I think you have to tie that in with Captain America's movie. But really... all we needed to know was that they were mad, and wanted to fuck with earth.
There are multiple reasons for this. Chiefly, Loki is a tragic character. He's a villian, but his characterization ressonates with the viewer. You can feel almost sympatheic for him, and want to root for him to just accept that his brother loves him, and that he loves his brother too, and get over their daddy issues. So he can't be the biggest Big Bad Wolf, ya know. Also, we needed to get the feeling that he was never in control of the situation to begin with. That there was a more powerful hand directing the pieces.
Do we really need a No Prize explaination for it, or can we just take it as presented? I will say, however, that I wasn't completely certain that he was cured from the punch. He still showed signs of possession in the beginning of the recovery scene with Black Widow. I'm positive that she lied to him and there was something else at play. I'm okay with lingering plot points, as they can be followed up in future movies, TPB Novelization, etc.
That said, we do see Thor's friend Erik Selvig lose his possession by enduring a large concussive blast, so...
Agent Coulson's death was HUGE. He has been the unifying force in the entire run of movies leading up to the Avengers. My god, if only they would bring him back as a Life Model Decoy that eventually turns into the Vision...

Still it's nice to know, when our bodies wear out, we can get another -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- | |

As expected the movie is huge. It opened last week in a lot of countries and already made 300 million there.
UPDATED: $80.5 Million Friday Means 'The Avengers' Will Set Opening-Weekend Record on May 05, 2012
Saturday Update: With $80.5 million in the bank on Friday, The Avengers is poised to top the $169.2 million opening weekend record set byHarry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2 last July. We are projecting $185 million by the end of the weekend.

Um, Hellboy? For us that are not well versed in the genre that's a big question.
I enjoyed it, and the after credits scene was funny. Hulk stole the show the most. And man, was I just drooling, goodness. Heck even Black widow made a great first impression with me. Captain America sure was bossy, but he looked good. I did yell out once, "what the heck is his shield made out of, dang?" Folks near me chuckled but I didn't mean to do that. Again, I had a lot fun, didn't feel all serious about it, there was a scene or two I questioned but there were too many other things going on for me to get concerned about them. Everybody got pretty good screen time, and I'm surprised about that. But I'm mad about the Agent, I liked him. | |

The dude that laughs at the end was Thanos, BTW. I cannot WAIT to see the sequel! | |

Yeah, mayne, as you already know, I LOVED this shit too. There were so many ways they could've fucked this up, and thankfully, they didn't. I purposefully avoided this thread (the spoiler portions) so I could really be surprised with what I saw.
As someone else in this thread said, the Hulk was tha shit in this film! He's a bad muthafucka, which is what he's supposed to be. I like how he got the better of Thor, ultimately, towards the end. Funny ass shit. Anyway, as good as I felt Ed Norton was as Banner (and originally disappointed that he wasn't coming back to play Banner in this), I feel Mark Ruffalo has now cemented himself as THE Doc Banner. Great job, Mark!
The regular showing first thing in the morning was sold out, so I had to go to the 3D showing that started 10 minutes later. I never go to 3D movies, so this one wasn't too bad to be my 3D virgin experience.
At first, I thought the person on the rock in space was going to be Kang, but I was even more excited that they're hinting at the next boss will be Thanos (the Marvel universe's version of Darkseid).

I know fanboys everywhere squealed when they saw that "ugly dude on an ugly rock". The Avengers will have their hands full in the sequel.
The second after-credits scene was funny. | |

True. DC had Joss Whedon directing their Wonder Woman movie, didn't like his ideas and let him go. So Marvel snatched him up for The Avengers which will now make a billion dollars worldwide after its first ten days. | |

Script was good. Witty. Maintained credibility for the most part. Some of the jokes are subtle references, which I always appreciate. I don't want you to think like me. I just want you to think. | |

X-Men First Class was weak. Better than the third X-Men but not as good as either of the first two.
Avengers is a good movie. Someone has finally done The Hulk justice. Avengers approaches 'Matrix:Reloaded." Avengers is serious, but rarely dark. It wasn't needed. Cinematically, it's could be the best movie of the summer season. I don't want you to think like me. I just want you to think. | |

For me, seeing viable Hulk and Black Widow were the highlights. Iron Man needling Captain America's naive, gung-ho patriotism was funny. Stark and Banner being ever so wary until the discuss science and the walls disappear.
