As a lifelong fan of the comics (I’ve been reading Marvel since I was three, I’m eighteen now,) I feel as though this was the perfect balance of The Ultimates and the mainstream Avengers series.
In regards to Loki, he was better in Thor, but he was pretty amazing in this. Hiddleston takes the ro by storm and really makes it his own. I loved the subtle nod to Loki using the Hulk as a part of his plan. Great reference to the first issue of the comic. (I also love the fact that this backfired. Puny god.)
Ruffalo is the absolute perfect Bruce Banner. I recall being exceedingly skeptical as to his being able to pull off playing my favorite character in the Marvel universe, but he was absolutely spot on. (I’m apologizing for my utter skepticism in my fan letter. I never posted anything nasty, but I still feel the need to apologize.)
Overall, amazing film. I’m so glad it’s become this successful. 10/10 hands down.

Ruffalo’s portrayal of Bruce Banner and the way they fashioned the Hulk to have Ruffalo’s features really sold me on this Hulk. My sister had no idea what she was going into with The Avengers since she’s not a fan, so I recommended that she watch The Avengers cartoons on Dishonline. Ever since I started working for them, I’ve found that they tend to have many of the original cartoons I grew up watching. She thought the movie was much better than the cartoons, but mostly because of the star-STUDded cast. I just appreciate that the movie holds true to the feel of The Avengers comics. This is going to be a tough movie to top.

He just completely went for it and played up his snotty attitude. It was a given he was never going to succeed, but watching him think he will was so fun.

Awesome.

Bring on Thanos or he Skrulls!

Joss has been jerked around by various studios, especially Fox, so it’s good to know he gained some clout in Follywood.

Thought the 3d was really tame and not worth it. Nowhere near HUGO levels. Awesome movie, but the 3d didn’t add anything. It was weird.

The action was spot on in creating the best superhero fighting sequences ever! I was generally impressed especially when CG exposure is so commonplace nowadays!

Joss did the Avengers proud! Was the movie a “thinker” with an intense plot? No. But it was brainless fun that was crafted with wit and energy that the summer movie season hasn’t seen in awhile.

Bring on “The Dark knight” and “Prometheus”! Let the summer begin!!

Save your Gravol pills. See it in 2D.

They all were confident warriors and used to their powers and limits. The film did a great job of integrating the lesser powered heroes into the team. I was worried that Hawkeye was going to look stupid and he turned out to be pretty menacing….I think he was superior to the comic book version.

Good review Sean!
