To those who have seen it, do I need to watch all the movies for it to make sense and to be enjoyed fully?
I have seen Iron Man 1 and 2 and the Ed Norton Hulk. Missed out on Thor and Captain America.
I am really getting excited for this now!
Captain America is the better movie, but it seems this progresses the story started in Thor.

My money's on him hating it, because I have literally never seen him change his mind in the slightest after seeing a movie that he was very vocal about before it released.
Example:
"JOHN CARTER IS GOING TO BE AMAZING!!!!"
John Carter turns out to be a pile of shit that everyone else hates.
"NO SHUT UP JOHN CARTER WAS TOTALLY AMAZING!!!!"
Dude decides if he's gonna like a movie before he sees it based on things like the director, the writer, and the actors, and then just looks for reasons to support his decision while he's watching it.
Do you mean better than Thor, or better than The Avengers (if you have seen it).
I enjoyed Thor more than Captain America, even though I recognise it as the lesser film, I really like the magical aspects to the story, but with those two films I imagine its personal preference.
Just wait for the movie. ;PDoes ironman find even more ridiculous ways to put his suit on?
Is there a Post-Credits scene?
My party wanted nah needed to leave as soon as the movie was over, so i didnt get to watch even the what looked to be cool End Credits sequence.
Serious Spoilers Inside:
The movie was pretty damn exciting, not too many complaints, but i found myself looking forward to seeing hulks madness more than anything.....is that a good sign or a bad sign?

It was fun.
The narrative itself is absolute garbage, but once you realize it is all just an excuse to get these fanboy service (self-service in Whedon's case) scenes on screen, you just sort of roll with it.
And those scenes are where this movie lives. Of course, if you're expecting any serious drama in these scenes, you've come to the wrong movie. Whedon makes no attempt to deviate from his 'let's lighten the mood' mentality, as he is having the characters crack jokes at every single turn.
You don't feel invested in the film in terms of caring about any of the stakes at hand, just as Whedon doesn't really seem invested in the story enough to come up with anything than the most convenient and ridiculous get out of jail free cards to bail out of each narrative conflict.
But like I said, it doesn't matter. You're there to watch these character banter with one another. And it's fun to watch. Like any comedy, I'm not sure how good it will be on rewatch once you know all the jokes, but there is some very satisfying humor and chemistry between the main players - good and bad, without spoiling anything.
The Avengers is Oceans 12 with ILM pumping a whole bunch of CG destruction into the background.
It sometimes loses it's focus and in typical Whedon style, gravitates toward less interesting side characters that are paper thin. There is one part that made me roll my eyes.
Lots of cheese. A lot of the bureau/SHIELD ops dialogue is just bad.
Hulk does absolutely own the film, though without spoiling anything, I will say that I was disappointed that Whedon seemed to contradict our introduction to The Hulk, as if he wasn't sure how to write around him without changing his character.
Action was very decent. I could see Paramount looking to Whedon for the next Transdongers after Bay.
I enjoyed it enough, but probably won't revisit until it hits TV, so that the jokes might hit again.
In the end, it's an ILM showcase with some nice comedy running throughout that doesn't take itself seriously. It's fun, but doesn't come anywhere near the top-tier superhero films.

Sculli Fake Review said:Well guys, Sculli here, I'm back. I'm tired, but here is my quick and short review before I'm off for bed. I'll make it spoiler free too, don't want to ruin any story points for anyone.
It was a decent comic movie, but as I feared, Whedon's influence almost ruined it for me. There were some really good surprising action scenes but they could have been so much better than they were. Whedon's TV style of doing action really showed in this film. A better director would have served this movie well, someone with more big screen action experience. Like Cameron for example. If Jim had done this movie we would be looking at hands down the best superhero movie of all time. The dialogue was pure Joss too, at times I felt like I was watching a super sized episode of Buffy or Angel. Way too scooby doo ish. The cast was a good ensemble and had good chemistry despite Joss's television dialogue style. I will admit one thing though, the Hulk has finally been done right on the big screen. They nailed the Hulk this time around. That alone makes suffering through the rest worth it. The story was actually pretty decent, a tad slow at the start but picked up later on and held a good pace. But again, it just felt way too much like a Buffy season finale with a better budget. Too campy for me, pulled me right out of some moments.
So I didn't hate it, but my initial fears were correct, it just didn't meet the potential that it could (should) have been. I blame Whedon for most of that, he was just a bad choice for this movie. Too late now though, it is what it is. I'm glad I got to see it for free, if I had paid for this I'd be more upset. I predict that GAF will love it though, it's simple and basic enough for you guys to eat up. And seeing how popular Joss is here, it fits. It will do well in sales but it won't do as well as other hero flicks with more capable direction that I won't mention here. I'd rate it better than IM2 but just barely, a very average Marvel flick with a few decent action scenes. Nowhere near as good as Avatar or T2.
I'll write more later, after I get some sleep.
There was a post credits scene, yes.its a sequel hook.
Fuck!They shoulda put the tdkr trailer after the end credits scene, like a double whammy
End credits
thanos
Glad you somewhat enjoyed it Sculli, but WOW, it's amazing actually how close I came to hitting the nail on the mark. For comparison, here is my fake Sculli review I posted a few hours ago, based on his past opinions about movies and such:
LOL!

No offense Sculli but I never want people to give as much of a fuck about my posts as they do yours, shit seems weird. Nice write-up, though.
It was fun.
SPOILER ALERT!! THIS IS ONLY FOR PEOPLE WHO HAVE SEEN THE MOVIE. IF YOU ARE GOING TO SEE IT, READING THIS WILL RUIN AN AMAZING SCENE, SO DON'T READ.
Hulk smashing the shit out of Loki was fucking hilarious. Audience at that shit up.
Judging by some of the posts I've seen you make I'm surprised you were going to see it.
And with that you go on ignore.

I've seen all of previous movies and a huge marvel fan, but if its just more of the same I'm not going to IMAX3D opening midnite, prolly just Tuesday cheap night.
You need a serious time investment if you are going to sleep at 3am on a weekday.
It's only because of how he's trolled every Avengers thread.
I think Oceans 12 with superheroes is the perfect way to describe The Avengers. No real interesting plot, no real dramatic stakes, convenient narrative turns abound to the point where nothing really matters, but if you like the characters, watching them all interact with one another is like going out on the town with the boys, only to finish the night reminiscing and laughing about that time Damon fucked up the meeting in the cafe by trying to speaking gibberish.
Oh and I should point out that I saw it in glorious 2D, because fuck that converted shit.
