IM2 was pathetic and I didn't think much of the Avengers. I'm really shocked it did so well.

The dialog, to me, was weak and unconvincing. I thought that Loki was a bad choice and overall, the film felt clunky. The weird camera angles they used at times made no sense, Cobie Smulders was wasted and stiff and outside of Ruffalo and Downey, the actors were boring.

I expected more of an Iron Man 1 or Dark Knight type of movie. Instead, it was like a Michael Bay film but instead of Transformers, the Avengers.

I'll watch it again, if for no other reason that I bought it on Blu Ray with the digital copy, music CD, etc. but it was extremely disappointing to me.

Interesting take. The only thing I didn't like is that it wasnt shot wide, so the whole thing felt confined to me. Puzzling decision since all the other Marvel films were shot wide, then they get to the biggest one and shoot it 1:85:1. WTF?

Nah. Teasers often do nothing but show random shots that give absolutely nothing away. They'll release the first full trailer soon enough.

I know you're like a movie expert kinda guy and all that, but I gotta say, you're nuts. Avengers was pretty much universally liked. 92 rating on Rotten Tomatoes, blah, blah, blah.

See, I thought it worked. I can understand all your gripes, but I think it worked in the context of the story. I didn't have a hard time buying it at all. Cobie Smulders was acting? I didn't notice. She is one fine specimen of a woman.

Getting that many superhero personalities on screen at the same time is quite a feat, and I thought it worked surprisingly well. The humor was perfect. The superhero nuances were very smartly done, and gave a real tip of the hat to comic book nerds.

I thought Loki was well done as well. They managed to show his evil conniving side, while still leaving a little room for a bit of conscience. They showed a tiny bit of internal struggle with Loki, and I thought it worked.

That movie was amazing. Clear your head and see it again.
