I forgot about this awesome line:
Natasha: You might want to sit this one out cap. They're living legends, basically gods!
Cap'n: there's only one god, m'am. And I'm pretty sure He doesn't dress like that.
Also, I missed the neat touch at the end with stark tower. All of stark's name was blasted off except the A, foreshadowing Avengers tower.

Thanks.
I'm thinking of buying it within 2 hours.
People say it's mostly the final act that is impressive in 3D.

The upside of this is the sequel should be all pay off.
That was a good line. Funny as hell at how serious Cap is.
And I posted some screenshots a few pages back from the final scene of Tony and Pepper with the tower blueprints. You see details like rooms/floors for each member of the team, then a training area, and an elevator leading to a Quinjet landing pad.

So im guessing we have to wait till next year to see the original long cut? i thought this movie had nearly 60 mins of stuff cut out for the theatrical cut? BTS stuff is great but i wanna see the extended directors cut is that on the blu ray????

There is no extended cut.
Item 47 was pretty awesome. Hope we see Lizzy Caplan in one of the movies.

Well, I emailed Amazon to see if I could change shipping method, and here's Amazon's response back:
I used a couple coupons on my Avengers 3D order, bringing the price down to $10. So, I'm just going to wait it out. I guess another week won't kill me....maybe.
All that frustration for nothing. :lol I had such an incredibly busy week & weekend that I wasn't even home to watch Avengers even if Amazon had shipped it to me last week.
But Amazon is saying Avengers will be delivered today!!
Just have to get through the workday, the gym for 1hr, and then I'll grill a nice fat steak before sitting down for this movie.a secret-boss

I think Blu really does the movie justice. The aspect ratio is awesome because it fills my screen!

So the more I think about it, following the above line of reasoning, the more I feel Thor -had- to end the way it did. If it hadn't, there would be nothing stopping the Asgardians from sending an army to deal with Loki and putting an end to the movie's plot before it even started.
finally watched the Target exclusive doc over the weekend. it was GREAT. how the hell was it not included with all copies? such a shame. i'm gonna assume they're holding back the HD version for a rerelease. they reused interviews fromt he previous Marvel movies but they edited it so well that i didn't even mind.

I still can't believe that I never noticed that none of the characters have ear pieces to talk to each other lol. The only feasible one is Iron Man.
Still absolutely love this movie though. Joss Whedon commentary was pretty interesting.

it's SD
Cap being able to communicate even after his helmet was ripped off was when i first noticed that. meh, maybe it's in their entire suits, lol.

You're right but he makes a body gesture that he can hear in his ear.

So I'm still having trouble linking how all the movies work as a timeline. Does anybody have a timeline? I'm still not clear on the tesseract and how shield had it for 70 years. I know the tesseract is what powered the hydra weapons in captain america, but how did it get to earth in the first place?

The movies essentially all happened in the order they were released (with the obvious exception of Captain America, but scenes taking place in the present are probably the last things to happen before The Avengers).
One of the first things we see in Captain America is the Tesseract being stolen from where it had been held under close guard for centuries. In that building, lots of murals showing it to literally be the origin of some centuries old mythology is the closest clue to its origin we are given.

Chronologically I think it's:
1. Captain America
2. Iron Man
3. The Incredible Hulk
4. Iron Man 2
4a. The after credits scene from TIH
5. Thor
5b. The after credits scene from CA
6. Avengers

That's where I got my copy as well. It felt a little like overkill since I don't have a 3D tv but for $20 for the set I thought why not.
Been wanting to see this movie since summer but I couldn't. But I watched the movie twice last night. Started off a bit slow to me but once it got going (Loki attacking the people in the museum) what a ride!
Everyone seemed to have the right amount of screen time each. I thought the dialogue was great, some funny moments when they were all aboard the airship. Captain America "getting" the joke about the monkeys. Thor defending Loki and mentioning they were brothers when Banner called Loki crazy, then when Black Widow said he killed 80 people and Thor says "he's adopted" the delivery was perfect.
The Hulk actually seemed pretty frightening when he chased down Black Widow. The brute force came across perfectly. He was all around awesome in the movie. I guess Hulk works best as part of an ensemble instead of his own movies. Even though I enjoyed The Incredible Hulk.
The Blu-ray looks gorgeous too, damn. I watched it on my PS3 (it's actually the first Blu-ray I've watched on it) and the picture looks so damn crisp. It just popped onscreen.
Edit:
Odin left it on Earth. For what reason, I do not know.
As for a timeline:
IMO, the implication is that Odin was hiding the tesseract on Earth, hence the secret society protecting it at the beginning of CA.
That doesn't explain why Odin let Red Skull take it and use it for several years, or why Odin let Shield keep it for 70.
In the end, i dont think it really matters. Odin's purpose is often mysterious. It's entirely possible he left the tesseract on Earth to see what the humans would do with it. It's also possible he simply forgot about it. Lol.

I think we must first define what "popcorn movie" even is. I wouldn't say collateral, Minority Report or Top Gun are popcorn flicks. Even Die Hard is a stretch in some aspects. Those movies had the heart of a Lion.

Man, this blu ray picture quality is phenomenal.

The rewatch of the Blu Ray just reiterated how horrible Cap's costume is in this. A redesign has to be priority number 1 for CA2 and A2, right?
Action scenes were much better on BluRay than theater 3D though, so that was a plus.

Watched this again on both my ipad and iphone during my flights to & from New York this weekend, such a satisfying movie. Also loved playing around with the second screen app just for the profiles alone (need to test the sync tonight or sometime this week).
For fun, I went back and watched bits and pieces of IM2 and just seeing how the two BW fight scenes stack up, I'm glad ScarJo put even more time into her scenes in Avengers as it was far more believable than in IM2.
...Off-tangent, I really loved the fight scene in IM2 during Tony's party with DJ AM's Queen/Rob Base/Daft Punk remix. The sound effects coupled with the remix were so good. Also, forgot how funny Fury was in IM2 as well. And yes, I know that Ultimate Fury is basically Sam Jackson anyways.
