Very good. Sharp and clever, nice mix of action and comedy. Killer weapons. Umm..Scarlett Johansson. :lurk5:

I can't wait to go see it.

Not as good as the 1st one but still entertaining. Make sure to stay through the credits for a teaser on the next Avenger.

cool cool cool... im about to watch it right now... well not right now, but right after i log off, take a poo, and get some pop corn.

it was decent. i thought the scene introducing war machine was as embarrassingly stupid as peter parker dancing.

otherwise, not bad.

Looks to me like just another superhero movie, nothing special. Enjoyed the first one at first, but when I saw it the 2nd time around I liked it a whole lot less. Seeing it tonight though.

Uhh, this IS a movie about a COMIC BOOK. FYI

I saw it yesterday and I enjoyed it. There were some great action scenes, good funny spots, strong dose of sarcasm with explosions. Works for me! I knew Thor was the next in the next series, but we've now had 2 references to Captain America in previous movies but instead we get Thor... They can churn out a quick (and likely disappointing) Thor movie a lot easier than they can a Cap flick, I guess. A Cap movie must be done the right way, bottom line. If Thor fails in an epic fashion, I wouldn't mind seeing him written out of the Avengers movie.

Oh yeah... it was a good movie, I took my boys to see it last night... full theater too. Scarlett is incredible, very hot in the black outfit.

Cap isn't even a founding member of the Avengers. They've already pretty much re-written the story to not include Ant-Man/Hank Pym/Goliath/whatever else you want to call him and The Wasp and replaced them with Black Widow, granted Hank Pym and Wasp are pretty lame, they cannot write Thor out.

It would be pretty cool if they wrote in the West Coast Avengers and let War Machine head that up with the likes of the Thing, Human Torch, US Agent, Moon Knight etc.

Also, I will be disappointed if Rick Jones and Hawkeye don't make an appearance somewhere.

[pstall]

Totally agree on the West Coast Avengers and Hawkeye EASILY is my all time fav Marvel character.
And rep for Moon Knight.

I always dug Hawk Eye and War Machine, as they were both kind of mavericks.

I want to say that, as I foretold, Don Cheadle does NOT pull off Rhodey nearly to the caliber of Terrence Howard.

it has Scarlett Johansson and things blowing up, there is nothing else any movie ever needs.

come on. joined in the 4th issue, that's close enough for the movies' purposes.

the concept of the Avengers is, and has been, simply the best and brightest forming a team. i think anyone who has been a member is fair game for the movie. hell i think spider-man would be a good choice, and he didn't join until the 90's.

i think the movie Avengers will be Iron Man, Cap, Thor, Black Widow, Hulk (ed norton), War Machine, and maybe Hank Pym and Wasp.

It would be pretty cool if they wrote in the West Coast Avengers and let War Machine head that up with the likes of the Thing, Human Torch, US Agent, Moon Knight etc.

can't do that, they have the same actor playing Human Torch and Captain America. utterly terrible decision in my opinion.
