Well, I can see how this became the highest grossing film of the year, and one of the highest grossing ever, it's just fun. The Dark Knight Rises tried to hard and had that horrible ending, The Avengers never takes itself too seriously. If you read most of my reviews, I don't like popcorn flicks a whole lot. I tend to gravitate towards more serious fare, but this was what every summer blockbuster should aspire to. I've never been a huge fan of The Hulk, but Mark Ruffalo made me fan, at least of his portrayal and of course Robert Downey, Jr. is amazing. A smart, well-made, and fun superhero movie.

As awesome as everyone says it is. All the actors are great especially Robert Downy Jr. I would suggest watching the heroes original movies(Hulk, Falcon, Thor,etc.) though because I didn't and missed some story details. Very good and funny!

A good action movie that lends itself well to the Marvel Universe. But, with all of the hype surrounding this film, I felt it lacked character development, a compelling story (Thor's brother swaddling the team to turn against each other = dumb), anything new for the characters.This movie will be forgotten in 10 years. Still, a solid movie.

Really cool - no - awesome movie, that really succeeded in assembling all the Marvel's current superheroes' franchises together. Even troublesome Hulk was brilliant, bringing a lot of sincere laughs in his few minutes on screen. I was worried about Hulk and how will Whedon manage to give all those superegos enough screen time without squeezing each others. Well, he did - every character shines in his/her full glory, even the sporadic ones as Fury, Potts and Coulson. And the story itself was interesting, really offering something to expect in the future Marvel releases.

It was an alright movie. The action was alright. The plot was alright. The character development was alright. And, the humor seemed a bit forced, as though it didn't flow with the rest of the movie. Even the ending was a little predictable and disappointing. But, it was certainly worth the watch, because there was some cool stuff in it, just not a lot. Additionally, Scarlett Johansson is sooooo damn sexy!

The assembly of multiple heroes into one film could not have turned out better. The story is well thought out and cohesive and the characters are written with much insight and humor. All the heros manage to share equal screen time and have many moments to shine. Great performances all-around, with a surprisingly memorable turn from Mark Ruffalo as Banner/Hulk. Top-notch special effects that surpass anything CG I've witnessed thus far. The action scenes are staged perfectly and each hero's role in them is well defined. Every fight is a riveting crowd-pleaser. It'd be hard to find a more smart, funny, cheer-worthy and satisfying comic book movie. Simply put, 'The Avengers' is the most spectacular superhero film I've ever seen.

Avenger's lived up to the hype. Better than any of the hero's own films. A good mix of comedy, action and story. They only thing I didn't like is that it had to end. I ended up seeing this in 3D not by choice, and it was one of the best 3D experiences I had. It didn't seem dark like some of the other 3D films I've seen. I hope Joss Whedon is involved in the next one. Well done sir.
