I saw it this past wednesday, I really liked it too. I had some heartburn with the Loki character though. They pronounced his name Low key. He was the total opposite.

Seems like the summer movies are either gonna be 1--huge blockbusters (Avengers, MIB3), or 2--total shit (John Carter, Battleship.)

Oh, joy.  Like I needed more reason to stay away from the theaters.

The main reason I stay away from the theaters is because of how much they charge for their snacks. Hell, it cost me $4.50 for a 20 once bottle of water. I could get a case for that much. My wife and went here last month to see the Three Stooges. We got one thing of popcorn, two bottled waters, and little box of milk dudes; and it cost $20.00! We only paid $10.00 for tickets. The guy at the counter asked if there is anything else we needed, I said yeah, a small loan to pay for this crap.

Snugs--he's also buying Milk DUDES for $20.  That alone should have caused the Gaydar to go off the charts.

No, I'm not a spelling NAZI, but I do think there was more than a bit of a Freudian Slip in there.

Just sayin.

I could not be LESS interested in The Avengers.

Unless it's the 1960's Brit TV drama starring Diana Rigg.  :drool:

Sorry, but after awhile, you lose plot, character development, writing, acting, and continuity with all those frickin' special effects.

JUST. AIN'T. INTERESTED.

I liked their theme soundtrack. They made a full length feature movie out of it too, a couple of years ago.

It was Ok . Not spectacular at all, The Character development was almost non existent . Bringing all those Super hero characters together I can see the problem of creating a back story  for each character and keeping the movie in one part and under a couple of hours.

Tony Stark, by far.

But I really liked all the characters. It was just a fun movie all the way around.
