The Avengers

I saw it yesterday and loved it. Had everything you'd want from a summer blockbuster. I really liked the cast too. I thought Tom Hiddleston was a good choice for Loki. He pulls off the impish, mischief maker pretty well.

The humor was well placed and genuinely funny, you always run the risk of trying too hard in a movie like this.

The only real plot hole that annoyed me was

The Hulk goes from an uncontrollable monster in one scene to an intelligent killing machine less than 10 minutes later

I really didn't mind what many considered the slow parts of the movie. I thought the pacing kept it so the slow parts were more ominous than tedious, you just had the feeling something was coming.

I am really curious

to see where they go with Thanos in the sequel. The Infinity Gauntlet storyline was one of my favorites growing up as a kid. I don't think that's possible because he kills characters that are licensed to other studios but it would be an epic storyline. There are a lot of good Thanos storylines though. I was also glad to see them go with a CGI Thanos instead of just a dude with a purple face

I gave a 5/5 anything less would really just be nitpicking.

I did read something that pointed out we were shown the infinity gauntlet in the Thor standalone movie, as one of the items in Odin vault. I didn't read a lot of Avengers so I'm not familiar with Thanos.. Both the Other and Thanos were cameo's by Whedon's friends
