A delight to the eyes, a disappointment to the mind

Rating: 7/10 (11 May 2012)

Special effects, action scenes, sound, humor, acting all is great as expected from such blockbusters. However, dare not expect much in the realm of coherence. One can argue that surrealism and fantasy is at the core of the Marvel Comics experience. However, some people expect a degree of reality to mix with the fiction, which is where "magic" happens and classics are made. The enemies that the heroes must face look a lot like video game characters, mindlessly going about their do-harm business for no other reason other than that they are "bad". The tactics employed by the enemies are laughable and their strategy non existent. One would expect more of these enemies, especially considering that they are supposed to be so technologically advanced. So in my opinion, it deserves a very high 7, because of the way this is presented, and because it can really entertain for one evening. Just don't expect have much to think or talk about afterwards.
