Just got back from a midnight-ish screening. By far my favourite Marvel movie.

Saw this last night with low to middling expectations and was completely blown away. Have to say, the thing that impressed me the most is that all of the characters came across as pretty much awesome in their own way, even Black Widow
Did not think they'd make it work but they did.

It is 2:30 AM as I type this.
I just got back from watching the Avengers movie
I have but one word to describe it
...ah screw it. It's a friggin awesome fun movie, I was going in with mild expectations but was just friggin' awed by it, I had a BLAST.
IMHO, Joss Whedon's BEST work to date.
Oh and damnit Tony
EDIT: Ugh didn't stay for the after credits scene, can someone please post what it was? (In spoiler tags)

Have to say was let down by this big time. Over hyped. Last 30 mins redeems it, up until then it was a real struggle. Downey JR gets all the best lines and almost all the laughs, but for large parts this movie seems to want to take itself quite seriously despite being, lets face it ridiculous.
No way is Batman not going to be much much better than this.

I'm seeing 2D tonight at 12:01 and again at 1pm on Saturday in IMAX 3D. I'm pretty hyped!

Man, seeing all the Marvel films at the theater again today is fucking amazing. Perfect hype train for the Avengers. They work so much better on a big screen.
Ummm, maybe if all you've ever known is Iron Man?
And the invasion was YAWN INDUCING? That was some of the funnest action i've ever seen.. I also loved Nick Fury, what was pathetic about him?

I sort of agree that the Cap (not Rogers) had a weak first few scenes

Saw it last night in 3D because that's the only option we got at our local cinema.
I was actually impressed with the 3D, though it was the first live action 3D movie that I've seen, so I can't really compare it to others.
The movie was great. I personally don't think it felt like any one character had the main spotlight. Seemed to me like they all got equal screen time which was good. Though I guess Tony did seem like the leader, but that wasn't necessarily bad.
Some parts were just hilarious and totally unexpected, the whole cinema burst out laughing at those parts. Was awesome lol
Some people left the moment the credits began to roll though...I was like "Have you seen the other movies?". Of course most who hadn't left yet stopped what they were doing the moment the after credits section started.
A good fun movie, would see again.

That wasn't even the biggest issue for me, it was more that they only dipped their toes into the tactical genius aspects of Cap. They should have had a lot more of that, showing off his strategist mind.
He really is (at least in the comics, for the most part) a genius in those regards, assessing the situation in real time in a way that Stark can't, tactically etc. You can show his humanity while still doing that, imo.

Nice to see someone going in completely blind given how so many people around here have been unable to resist checking out spoilers. Report back in detail!

They just catched up/followed up the construction from his movie.
He was a smart kid with unbelievable determination and a strong sense of heroism.
He fought like 3 or 4 battles til this movie anyway.

Something about the #MarvelMarathon setting is making these films resonate so much stronger with me. LOVING THIS!
I do still wish they had used Thor's goat driven chariot instead of a horse on the trip through Asgard to Heimdal's guard. And needed to see the Ravens as well.
Odin got his proper horse.

It only seems fitting that I put this shirt on for the first time in years before I go to the movie tonight. Yes, I am a nerd.

This just makes me realize how its kind of perfect that Marvel Studios doesn't have the X-Men or Spidey rights. Wolverine and Spidey would steal all of Stark's swag.

Got my Avengers shirt on, and rocking a Lego case on my iPhone with a TARDIS I built on it. Wife will probably be rocking one of her Doctor Who shirts and her Doctor Who phone case.
Geek flags flying proud.

Nearly pissed myself as it was so long. Pre film coffee was a mistake!
Good film, I wasnt hugely impressed with the Hulks "persona" I prefer the "fuck up everything in sight" version but the film has to have limits!
Its bloody good considering what its done though, my GF loved it. Cant help but feel Blackwidow seems so out of place though
Iron man 3 please! RDJ is too good as him.

I love when that happens in theaters, everyone awkwardly standing waiting for the movie to be over. :lol

Got my tickets at Saturday for 2:00 PM...hey it's what you can do when you want to see it with your wife (does not want opening night craziness, which I tend to love)and you have family watching your 4 month old. 
Accidentally bought senior tickets...luckily the price is still the same so I suspect little issue, still feel silly.
Seeing it in 2D. Also 9 bucks for a regular ticket is so much nicer than NYC prices...which for a 2D screening would be $13, 3D $17, and 3D Imax $19!
Still kind of want to sneak out and see it tonight at midnight...despite having work or take a long ass lunch break on Friday. lol

Cap is a ton of fun, well it was for me at least. Thor is...weird. Liked Iron Man 2 a lot, still need to see 1 (I've seen the first hour) and Hulk.

Damn, I'm going to see this in two hours, only got 3 hours of sleep last night and I'm so tired. I'm also incapable of taking naps. 
But I'm very excited so maybe that will keep me up.

Are you sitting in the same seat everytime?
Saw Cap with friends on Tues; came home and promptly saw Thor for the first time at home, dug it.
AND NOW WE ARE 3H AWAY FROM THE MOVIE CONCEPT WHOSE EXISTENCE SEEMED UNTHINKABLE.
Fuck, I'm pumped.
Scotiabank theatre in Toronto is strangely not doing IMAX3D for this.
AVX 3D instead, which promises to be pretty sweet, at least. Reserved seating ftw.

Sure. There are like 20 min breaks between and we've all gotten to know each other. No reason to move.
