I enjoyed it. The bad was pretty predictable: it was at times very cramped and poorly paced, but that was a gigantic movie condensed to less than 2.5 hours. Not an amazing film, but very entertaining and worth seeing. The whole movie was hilarious. Of course, the most exciting part to me was the first after-credits scene. (SPOILER)Seeing Thanos was awesome and made me want to go read the old Infinity Gauntlet series again, though I've barely touched comic books since I was about 13 or 14.
Just got back from it.

That's all I wanted to say.Mind you, I rather liked Samuel L. Jackson too.
The writing was really nice, snappy and fast-paced, so it made it a really enjoyable movie. The action scenes were kind of ridiculous looking back on it. I know we've been desensitised to crazy ass CGI these days, but when you reflect on it they were awesome.
I saw the midnight premiere of this a couple of days ago and it was absolutely amazing. Packed theater, bunch of Marvel fans, and one awesome movie.
The Hulk was overly epic hahah
No time for "Dilly-Dallying" or "Shilly-Shallying."
Props go to the one and only, Proxy, for the signature.
Movie was great. Ruffalo as Banner was surprisingly satisfying.
(SPOILER)I wonder if they're going to go with the Infinity Gauntlet plot. It would be pretty damn difficult to pull off, especially since the Avengers version of the Infinity Gauntlet story used a different Avengers lineup (I think Hulk's the only one in both). So probably not I guess.Originally Posted by Raistlin
I wonder if they'll bring in the Silver Surfer or Adam Warlock.
There are quite a few established Thanos stories so there are several different directions they could go with it, all of them pretty cool.

I hope the new spidey movie ties into the avengers :3
That's what my uncle said. I still prefer Norton over Ruffalo.
Did you still get to watch the Raven? Since I assume that all movies in a theater still require the same fare, if they didn't let you return to watch Raven for free, I'd say it's more like you got ripped off since it sounds like you didn't get to watch what you paid for. I suppose one could also view this as "balancing out"...
I sure as hell hope not. (SPOILER)As awesome as it was, the Infinity Gauntlet plot was crazy. All the heroes died, and the entire cosmic forces of Galactus, et al fell before Thanos. There's no way to make a movie out of that unless you introduce all of those other powers. Although, now that I think about it, they probably could make a decent story out of Thanos trying to find the Soul Gems. But even without the Gauntlet, Thanos is a very formidable opponent, especially by Earth standards; he is a step up from Loki and his mercenary army.
Whedonisms <3
Peter's parents were S.H.I.E.L.D. agents so it's possible.
Spider-Man has been an Avenger for years. If the new Spider-MAn movie is part of the Avengers movieverse, he could totally be in Avengers 2.
I can see it now.
*after the end of credits, Nick Fury all of a sudden confronts Spiderman after a grand adventure*
Nick Fury: You have have heard what happened here in New York not too long ago.
Spiderman: I might have seen something on the news...
The new Spiderman movie just looks like trout.

Shoo shoo sam. You don't belong in these threads. They are too boy-ish for you. Go back to your Sailor Moon and Doll makers. This spidey movie looks AMAZING compared to the other ones.
You're just horrible.
(SPOILER)The infinity gauntlet - wasn't it in the Thor movie?
I liked the movie. It's a good popcorn boom boom explosions movie.
(SPOILER)The last battle was a bit nonsensical (how did they cover so much space? Did they just manage to kill everything before they could swarm out of control? pfft) and as Raistlin said the pacing goes awkward at certain spots, but overall a solid 7.x/10 movie.
I would rank the [strike]Marvel[/strike] Avengers Movies thus:
Iron Man 1
Avengers
Iron Man 2
Thor
Captain America
Hulk
