I even was confirmed by some facebook friend of mine saying that the 2nd ending is only available in the U.S. version while the international version only had the 1st one..

Whedon killed it, man. Just killed it. Absolutely the right choice for this movie.

It started off a little slow, which is necessary when you have to establish so much. The interplay between the personalities of the characters is fantastic. Hawkeye ended up getting the short end of the stick in terms of...well, pretty much everything. Which is unfortunate, but expected. He's stuck in an ensemble flick, and he doesn't have the benefit of having a whole movie to build him up like all the others. I really wish they'd given him some kind of mask or helmet, even a set of special sunglasses or something. Makes him less boring and gives more credibility to his incredible aim. Everyone else was pretty awesome, except Maria Hill, and only because she's given pretty much nothing to do except report stuff to Fury.

Mark Ruffalo narrowly edges out RDJ for MVP. Downey is possibly better as Stark here than he was in Iron Man 1, and definitely better that Iron Man 2. But Ruffalo did the impossible. He made me give a shit about the Hulk. After so many portrayals of Banner as a brooding, woe-is-me genius, it was great to see him portrayed as more in control, and to an extent, at peace with himself. When they make the next Hulk movie with him, I'll be first in line.

Onto some more spoilery stuff:

SPOILER: show
-The scene in which Hulk slams the fuck out of Loki is Top 10 material. Like, Top 10 movie moments ever. Like, Top 10 life moments ever. All the best applause or laugh moments in the movie are Hulk.
-Even knowing Coulson was going to die thanks to all the brouhaha here, it was still a shock when it happened. I hadn't forgotten it, and I knew it was coming in that scene, it still made me jump a bit. That's why I don't get too worked up about spoilers. It's not what happens, it's the way it happens.
-That said, I kinda wish I hadn't found out the Thanos reveal. Again though, still cool as fuck.
-The 2 minor gripes I had in terms of plot stuff was that it's pretty much glossed over how Banner goes from having no control of Hulk on the helicarrier to being fine during the battle of New York. But it's a 2 hour and change movie with a lot of stuff to cram in, so I'll give it a pass. And did the end of Thor go out the window? Wasn't Loki supposed to have possessed Selvig already?
-Favourite line: Cap, checking the inner workings of the helicarrier: "It looks as though it's powered by some kind of electricity!"
-I love the way Whedon trusts the audience to get it. Even little stuff like Coulson's last words. "They need something to..." you don't have to finish that sentence. And he didn't.
-Wish Hawkeye hadn't been a heel for half the movie.
-Scarlett Johansson's ass in a tight leather suit is the best argument I've seen for 3D yet
-If you can watch the last hour of this flick without a massive stupid grin plastered on your face, you're not a comic book fan. Or a movie fan.


In closing, fucking see it. Pissed that we'll probably have to wait 4 more years for another one.

Oh, and the after credits scene

is just the Avengers sitting in a half destroyed shwarma restaurant eating at a table. They don't say anything, just look at each other. Nice comic beat to end it.

The scene where Hulk slams the shit out of Loki really was fucking epically hilarious.

The only scene that made me laugh possibly harder was...

SPOILER: show
When Hulk and Thor are fighting side by side and then they are just standing there and Hulk just punches Thor out of no where

It's either "Pure ego" or "Puny God".


I only know this because as soon as I got home, I went straight to Demonoid to download a shitty cam version just to watch that part again.

OMFG

SPOILER: show

- Fucking Perfect.
- Hulk stole the final battle in terms of laughs and action.
- The Thor/Hulk team-up was awesome. The final moment was great.
- I was worried Cap would be downgraded to make RDJ look better, but make no mistake Cap the fucking leader. he got strangers to follow his orders.
- Black Widow's interrogation technique managed to fool the audience and that is art right there.
- Giving Loki a somewhat comedic defeat is almost WWE job-out territory, but you can't beat that scene with a stick. I also missed Hulk's one line in the film because people were cheering so much.
- Hulk vs Thor, in live action... Great scenes, with both put over.
- Hawkeye was so badass in the final battle. The no-look shot was epic.
- "...He's my brother!" "He killed 80 people in 2 days." "He was adopted."
- Wish Jane Foster appeared as Pepper did, but I'm glad they referenced her.
- In fact, surprised at how much they referenced the past movies.
- I thought they would do a call back with Thor being able to power up Tony by having him bring back from coma/knock out/death, but Hulk screaming him awake was great.
- I can talk about this all day. I loved the movie. Will watch it many more times in my life.
- Epic Fucking Win.

I see.

Because of the 'important' credits scene, I imagine Thor's sequel will be significant.

The 'funny' credits scene would have been a good time for Thor to do an old gag from his movie.

Seriously ScarJo's ass was not prominently shown off. Did I miss something? She's gorgeous, though.

This was my first 3D movie (in IMAX no less). Other than having worn my glasses instead of my contacts which sucked, I was pretty amazed at the quality of the 3D. I'll say I look at it as less of a gimmick now and that it definitely sucked me in at times where I forgot for a second or two that I was even watching a movie. I was impressed to say the least.

I was kind of skeptical going into this mainly because I thought it would only appeal to huge comic book fans while ostracizing those looking for a well structured movie. I also didn't overly like any of these superheroes individual films, but I do have a certain nostalgic affection for the characters. That being said I actually really liked this. Whedon is a much better director than Favreau, Johnston, Brannagh and Leterrier. The humour was really good, and they balanced the indiividual character arcs, group arc and overall narrative. The action was actually enjoyable too, really liked the Rio Bravo scene on the big airplane, and there was a wonderful shot where it kinda tracked all the Avengers during the big Manhattan scene. I liked that Harry Dean Stanton had a small role as the janitor dude who found Ruffalo.

Most summer blockbusters are so ineffective and it was nice to take a break from some experimental Taiwanese/Romanian film or whatever the fuck I normally watch and let my inner child come out.

Not to beat a dead horse, but this movie was fucking amazing.

I don't read comics, I'm not a huge fan of superhero movies, and I've only seen parts of Iron Man (I haven't seen Thor, the Hulk movie, or Captain America.) Still, this movie was insanely fun, and brilliantly well done.

And yes, the Hulk/Loki seen is pure gold.

Going again this thursday to see it in 3-d.

The whole movie just flows together so well. Nothing feels like it drags at all. The chemistry between all these characters is amazing, and it's straight from the books. Wish Whedon would do more comic book movies.

Think I saw the scene where the camera pans around the team back to back about 50 times before I saw the film, and yet it is no less amazing when it's time comes.

Hawkeye and Widow held their own, just like I thought they would. Hawkeye especially was a total badass.

Loki was fantastic. I like how towards the end there was that one scene, where you thought Thor was finally going to get through to him in that cliched sort of way, only for loki to heel it up even more.

Skrulls were pretty good. I could see them returning in a later film, with their more traditional shape changing infiltration technique, in a sort of secret invasion adaptation, since the direct approach failed. Or maybe they'll even do the kree skrull war. Given the next apparent villain, they'll already be doing cosmic stuff.

SPOILER: show
Thanos is my favorite villain of all time. I hope Whedon is doing the sequel, because I don't know if I trust anyone else to get him right. But god damn, I didn't think they'd go straight for one of the most powerful villains ever. Thought they'd due Ultron or Kang first. Thanos isn't even an avengers villain. He's a villain for the entire marvel universe.


Some minor gripes

Caps suit looked a little better in motion, but it still looked a bit goofy next to everyone else's costumes. His ww2 duds do look a bit dated, but I feel like they could have done a bit better with the update.

Loki's alliance with the skrulls and Thors return to earth are poorly explained, but that's forgivable, as the movie is already almost 2 and a half hours long. Probably would have had to cut some other more important stuff.

Did they ever actually say "assemble" at all in the movie? Seems odd that they wouldn't. Maybe I just missed it.

Overall, this is my new favorite superhero movie. My new favorite action movie. My new favorite movie, period.

I'm waiting to see this my great friend/ex-gf... probably sometime in the next week. It looks good but at same time hoping it won't be too cheesy. I just hope it's as good as the hype says it is, Iron Man 1 was very good (for a Marvel movie) but the sequel and all the others (Hulk, Thor and Cap) were either mediocre or pretty good- but not really "great".

Random Notes/Trivia/Thoughts:

- Thor's look covered his three major costumes; sleeveless/cape = Kirby, sleeveless/no cape = Ultimate, full armor = JMS.
- Aside from the Bifrost, we now know that the Cube and certain dark magic can also transport you across the realms.
- After the events of IM2, it seems Stark does not trust Natasha or SHIELD in general.
- After acquiring Hawkeye, Loki did some scouting - already knowing about Cap, Hulk, and Black Widow. He really should have been primed about Stark's arc reactor heart, though.
- All of the hero vs hero fights ended in some sort of draw, except for Widow vs Hawkeye.
- Cap could hang with Loki, who in turn has fought Thor, who has shown to hold his own against Hulk. One could conclude that Cap could potentially survive a fight against Hulk if they were ever to tango.
- How would James Rhodes/War Machine feel meeting Captain America? And has Rhody ever been approached by SHIELD, being not only a superhero but a soldier himself? Hmm...
- Nobody said, "Avengers Assemble!" Or I may have missed it. Would have been perfect before the iconic sweeping shot.
- With Thanos revealed, I think Thor 2 will be the most significant of the 'fallout' period. His movie deals with the cosmic areas of the Marvel U., and the famous Infinity Gauntlet was last seen in Thor. It seems things don't stay in Odin's Vault for long.
- They finally make it clear that Natasha is from Russia, which should make a possible appearance by Winter Soldier in Cap 2 more interesting.

Tell me why the Hulk went all bat shit crazy on the plane but totally had control over Hulk 20 minutes later? That's my only complaint. Otherwise it was a perfect movie.

I think it was stark who talked to him and told him he could probably control it better if he tried. And then that old security gaurd said that hulk aimed for the abandoned building when he fell, and banner seemed to have an epiphany.

It's probably one of those things that they wanted to delve into more, but was cut for time.

Judgement call, and like I said, the movie is so fucking good as it is, that I am willing to give them the benefit of the doubt that they cut the right scenes.
