Good movie - the first and probably last time I pay for 3D, was kinda cool, but to me distracted from the movie. It made little stinky sick to her stomach.

Cobi Smulders is HOT.

The Hulk stole the scenes he was in.

Captain America is annoying.

Iron Man is Awesome.

I want to see it again in non 3D.
I agree with most every bullet point, except that I think the Hulk was played up too much. It also wasn't completely clear how he went from fighting against the others, to all of the sudden following orders and playing along. I guess that's Captain America's leadership.

It was the first movie I've seen in 3D as well. It was OK, though it sorta gave me a headache and I just wish that I could take off the glasses and have it be normal every once in a while to give myself a break.

I recognize him, but it's been so long since I've read the comics I can't remember.

I believe it was Red Skull (the villian from Captain America).

My bad. I just saw the reddish face in a cloak and made the assumption.

Thanks.

I must say, after watching the avengers, I'm pumped for the second one. I was a huge comic collector but just couldn't seem to get into the movies. They all seemed really watered down and cheesey to me.

Joss whedon and Christopher Nolan may have reeled me back in.

Yeah, for the most part the movies have been terrible adaptations of the comic books, with the exception of Captain America last year. That was the first one that I've seen that matched the comics almost perfectly.

Iron Man wasn't a bad adaptation, if you account for the fact that they chose to have him be imprisoned and build the suit to escape from the caves of Afghanistan rather than a Vietnamese POW camp like in the comics.

I liked the Best Exotic Marigold Hotel but it is for an older audience.
