I can't believe this got so many major critic good reviews

Rating: 4/10 (25 October 2011)

I liked Ironman less so 2, liked Spidey, less so 2, couldn't watch 3; Thor was OK but only on Earth; in short, at 58, I can still dig a comic book movie. However, this particular entry is insulting to any mature intellect. I really hated it and resent the reviews of critics I follow, who to a man and woman praised this movie. Their praise is so heavily qualified as to be non committal but nevertheless there's Ebert, Denby, Scott, Puig, Rickey all praising this dopey piece for not being terrible...It's terrible. The waste is so saddening I can't bring myself to itemize the squander. I really feel compelled to dismiss all beings who can enjoy this travesty. For reference sake I wrote much the same upon the release of Kill Bill. How far are we to go indulging this adolescent pablum? I gave it a 4 rating for being in focus and reasonably coherent in telling its ludicrous story. I really resented it and am still in disbelief that the critical establishment viewed the same thing I did and wrote any admiring sentences. This is as bad as the last three years('08-11) of Nicholas Cage movies. Come to think of it, he was attached to this turkey several years ago...He couldn't have made it worse.
