Bravo Whedon! Really a perfect superhero movie in every aspect. Every single one. The only detraction from this movie is its pacing of action sequences. They last much longer than they need to, and if this movie were paced to keep its plot moving steady, it would be the best superhero movie ever made without question.

Yup, I've watched it again.......
Felt appropriate to do a Supes/Batman/Avengers comparison.
Avengers = fun
Supes = different and excellent reboot
Batman = solid film (with added reboot)
I enjoyed all three in different ways and even though this is my 6th or 7th rewatch, having seen the others, I'm more than happy for these 3 to live in the same 'top' list......

Third viewing of this and after just watching Iron Man 2 this was the obvious choice for Sunday afternoon.
Whedon's world suits me just fine and with the idea of multiple superhero's in one film broke the mold on how to bring a film that catered for every fan-boy. Iron Man,Thor,The Hulk, Captain America,Hawkeye and for anyone in need of a lady in leather, Black Widow. We all have a favorite and with enough legend,wit and dynamite action to keep everyone interested this could well be the ultimate superhero film. Interested to see what The Avengers 2 has in store for us. -
The Avengers ranks so highly for me because of a multitude of reasons, but the largest being it is seriously the dream come true of a guy who had been reading the comics since I was in elementary school. Marvel Studios had been building and building towards this for the past few years and the slightest misstep could've potentially ruined it. Instead, Marvel hired a co-writer/director who understood the material, understood how to deal with an ensemble, and most importantly…

In Joss Whedon we trust. Possibly the greatest Marvel film to date. Great action sequences, smart dialogue, fantastic character interaction. My only complaint is putting Hawkeye on the back burner - he needs more story and interaction in the next one.

A supremely fun movie. As a long time comic book reader it was everything my ten year old self could have wanted and my thirty-five year old self as well. Whedon stepped up and made a crowd pleasing film that didn't make me feel guilty after watching it.

I admire Joss Whedon's attempts to construct a film that pays tribute to the spectacle of superheroes, but I do not admire the film that it is a part of.
The film lacks a cohesive and satisfying narrative to make this venture a worthwhile trip. Spectacle itself is not a bad thing, but Aristotle placed it low on his priorities for storytelling for a very reason: Spectacle alone is not satisfying.
What could be an interesting film is ultimately just…
