Wow where to start.
First a couple things about what people have posted. Banner couldn't control it the whole time. He obviously couldn't when he almost killed Black Widow.
Also re: the idea of more characters from other franchises, I believe Daredevil is back at Marvel. I could be wrong but if it has the same terms as Wolvie and Spidey then the company who had it has had their time lapse. An why would anyone want civil war? Didn't it suck big time?
The movie was amazing. There were a few parts that seemed to wonder in the first 45 but it really got going after that.
Nerd question was that Orb from astonishing Xmen that played the space villain? Whedon did write that. Another Ned question and maybe I didn't notice it during Cap but why don't they call it the Cosmic Cube? Never heard it called a tesseract before in the comics.
I almost creamed my pants (only one of several o faces) when we got to see the hellicarrier. Never thought I'd see that on film. One of a bunch of things of that nature in this movie.
A directors cut about 45 mins longer would be great. Show more background and character development. They usually only touched Cap's alienation to the modern world as humor.
From about the hellicarrier onwards it was non stop. There was a sequence just after they did the camera pan around all the avengers back to back, in what seemed like one camera movement we got to go character to character in a fluid motion. It would just seemlessly flow from hero kicking ass to hero kicking ass. I could help but smile. Again, never thought I'd see superheroes especially the avengers in such an amazing adaptation o the feel of a well paced superhero comic book.
Like others the Hulk/banner was great. So many funny moments all around and there were so many goosebumps inducing moments.
Whedon truly brought a comic to screen in a way we've never seen before. Even the way that Sin City was as almost frame for frame adaptation Avengers is a notch above. Making a superhero movie feel that epic without resulting to Fantastic Four style cheese is a real accomplishment.
It wasn't quite as serious as TDk obviously but this is truly the best comic adaptation yet. I haven't left a theatre, at 120am no less, and felt like I could walk back in and watch it all over again in a long time. So much fun.
The after credits scene made me giggle I'm not gonna lie. It was a fanboy giddy squeal. Thanos. Wow. Words can't describe the awesomeness.
Oh and I saw it in a regular 2d theatre. Loved it.
