I thought this was a great Superhero movie. Everything clicked very well, I thought Whedon nailed it - juggling these heroes and the actors' ego could not have been an easy job... but, it sure seemed like everyone just gelled perfectly for darn good Superhero movie.
Sure, there are nits to pick and it wasn't a perfect film by any stretch (however, it was perfect for what it is)... but, man this flick worked on so many levels it's unreal. They nailed it.
There's a slew of moments to gush about or ask questions about.
Ruffalo might not be my ideal Banner. But, he was extremely adequate at it. He played the mild mannered bit to a tee and he echoed Bill Bixby at times. My doubts of him as Banner were erased.
While it comes off as a silly idea, the helicarrier sure looked amazing at it lifted up out of the ocean.
Black Widow just stole much of the show at times, it was crazy. ....and I don't think it was just because she was ScarJo (not that it didn't hurt).
I love that Captain America became the leader as he was meant to be by the end of the movie. He still talks in sound bites, but the scene were Stark told him it was his call... well, that just rocked (and the cop scene, lol).
"Better clench up, Legalos."
"That's the secret Captain, I'm always angry."
"Puny god."
"I don't see how that's a party."
I guess I just have one thing to ask. Maybe I missed it... but, did the Hulk have a reason why Banner was (more or less) in control during the finale fight?
...and yeah, destroying the mothership that stopped all the invaders is kinda played out. But, I guess they needed an ending.
Sorry, I'm gushing... this movie rocked.
