Yeah Cap really is the weakest of the bunch.
He couldn't even beat that one faceless goon in that scene! I felt so bad for him!

My biggest problem which I hinted at in my review was
Hulk's uncontrollable nature being conveniently retconned when he shows up to fight.

I figured Loki's scepter made him go crazy or something. Anyway that's how it could be explained.

WHAT!? FUCK THAT NOISE!
Cap should be beating ass and not even bothering to take names. All while being the leader.
Urgh. But I am anxious to see Dat Hulk.
Some people are thinking that lokis staff is really the mind gem and that's why he can control people and it fucked with the hulk
Personally though it doesn't really need to be explained, the hulk is an asshole with a heart of gold, he throws hissy fits and fights with heroes and smashes shit up all the time when hes angry and wants to be left alone, but when shit hits the fan and there is real danger he will step up to the plate and save the puny humans

Nah. There is a reason the rest of The Avengers were acting super cautious around Banner. The opening scene where Black Widow meets Bana sets up how volatile and dangerous he is - even to friends. Loki's breaking out of the prison by relying on Hulk just seemed like another braindead narrative idea that didn't bother me because I was watching Hulk rampage and almost kill Scarlett.

To be honest I thought Thor was the weakest character on screen out of all of them. The Captain, however, was a star. I thought it was fitting that the

was excellent. He looked so perplexed lol
aftermath of the fight, he was identified by name on that TV interview by that woman who he saved. Going back to that actual scene, after the explosion takes him flying into the street and landing on a car, as he stands up without his hood, he takes a long pause with his head down as the camera panned around him and that woman looking on; he was given the 'hero' shot.

Though the way he spoilered that kind of gives away the spoiler.

It reminds me of Plainview in the Avatar thread two months out from release.

Maybe you went to the restroom when

Maybe you went to the restroom when

I don't think it was him who
deflected them. I think the repulser shot came from him and the Cap deflected it around them as quick fire. It looked like something they had just thought of. Or maybe I remember it wrong
Btw, congrats to ILM because I don't think i've ever seen a more realistic Hulk, especially a Hulk where you could still clearly recognise Bruce. Although one thing that bothered me is why did the Hulk want to
bash the Black Widow? In the previous movies, he only reacted to aggression or threats.
This is spoiler tag worthy IMO. Scene was funny because it was unexpected. One of my favorite scenes for sure.
Dude, not fair.
He was against his element on that one. Unlike Ironman, he can't fly. He was busy trying not to plummet onto the ground while the ship shaking like a belly dancer and that one guy was trying to shoot him.
I think he got his moments later on in the film. IMO, it's Thor who got a bit short-charged in terms of amount of appearance time. Sure, his lines are funny and he got some of the most awesome and again, funny scenes in the film. But his presence was kind of minimal for the main 4 heroes.
Yes it wasn't.
Captain was the one who deflected it. I thought it was a neat example of their instinctive co-operation.
And you went and quoted it without spoilering the text yourself.
it was already written out so what's the point? i'll go ahead and do it if its a rule i'm not aware of.

I AM WEAK! I can admit it. My enthusiasm for this film has been building for years and I cannot control myself. I must know more about it!
ONE WEEK TO GO! Everyone near me in the theater will be covered in the cum from my nerdgasm!

he can pick up the hammer, then anyone should be able to.
Not really a written rule, but I've been called out a couple of times for not spoilering a post I quoted that has spoilers.

You've been warned
Why are you not in the Expendable 2 posters thread?! Get your ass out of here and over there. You should be praising Stallone for bringing a sequel to your fave film of all time.
The universe balancing itself? If some of us in other parts of the world have to wait 4 months to see The Cabin In The Woods, it's only fair you guys have to wait for 1 week before seeing this.

My hype would destroy that thread and break GAF's servers.
Good thing is that the credits before that scene is not that long. less than a minute I guess

Probably someone made a typo on the release schedule.
I'm just surprised is all; it's Marvel's biggest film to date, produced in North America. What's the strategy behind releasing overseas first?
Wasn't that their strategy with all the other Marvel movies too?
I don't know. It was, however, a public holiday here in Australia when the film went wide. Because Chris Hemsworth is Australian? Or maybe they saw the ka-ching from THOR, which was also screened internationally first and thought they'd get the same result by doing the same? And that strategy seems to be working for this film.

The real question is what will be the breakout, surprise blockbuster of the summer.

I don't think it'll be a surprise but I see Snow White and the Huntsman doing very well.

Unless it is total shit, I see it doing very well. But what will this year's Hangover, Bridesmaids, or Rise of the Planet of the Apes breakout be?
