The Avengers (2012 Movie)

Couldn't find a dedicated thread, so here we go!

Just got back, and it was AWESOME. It was really, really fun with lots of great jokes, awesome action and some really smart writing. Lots of scatterbrained spoilers up ahead, though!

I felt it was really wise of them to make HawkEye into a villain for most of the film. We hadn't seen really anything of him up to this point, so making him a villain gave him screen time to do awesome stuff.
The buildup for the Hulk was really well done, and the pay off was great.
One of my favorite scenes was the fight between Thor, Captain America and Iron Man. It was awesome to see these three square off, and when Thor hits Cap's shield...FWOOSH! Levelled half the forest!! That was so much fun!
Cap really held his own against Loki, too! Overall, I think Captain America is still my favorite Avenger. I actually really appreciated the line:
"Captain, don't even bother trying to go up against those guys, they are basically gods."
to which he replied:
"There's only one god, and he doesn't dress like that."
It was a small thing, but I am very glad they put it in. It's nice to see that a character like Captain America wasn't neutered for today's PC-heavy society.
The ending fight scene was awesome! Loved the part where Hulk just grabs Loki by his feet and wails him around! My friend laughed so hard she started snorting at that XD

But what was that teaser at the end? I didn't recognize that character, though I confess to not being much of a comic book nerd. The entire audience exploded into cheers though, so I know he must be important. Illuminate me, please!


So, yeah! Awesome movie, go see it.

I liked it. I even thought the 3D was done tastefully.

Oh yeah, about the 3d, I didn't find it to add anything to the experience like it did in, say, Tintin. Given the option, I'd gladly see it in 2D over 3D, and I'm an advocate of 3D.

I saw it in 3D and not 3D, and it was a blast.

I'd totally go see it a 3rd time! xD

I hope you all stayed long enough to see the scene after the real credits ended.

That was classic. They did a great job of setting up future one-liners and paying them off at unexpected times.

I couldn't help feel that The Avengers is just a kid playing with action figures. A big mashup, where every scene is a "wouldn't it be cool if...?" I don't see this as entirely a bad thing, though.
