Best Superhero Movie

Rating: 9/10 (26 May 2013)

This movie was good all the way through. When I first saw the trailers for Thor and Captain America, I didn't think the actors looked like they fit the parts. This movie has the advantage of coming out after we've already had time to see the individual movies, learn the origin stories, and get used to the actors and costumes. I still didn't think Chris Evans was a good choice, but by this point, I can look past it. It had to be really hard to find a way to make a character as unremarkable as Loki into a villain worthy of being the main antagonist, but I ended up really enjoying Hiddleston's performance. He might be one of those performers that I like watching in anything he does. The movie was long enough to feel appropriately epic, but never dragging. The visuals were all great, especially the technology. This movie, The Amazing Spiderman, and Rise of the Planet of the Apes all have science labs that look like they were designed by the same team, with lots of blue holograms and transparent screens. I hope everyone who worked on this one can all get it together for at least one more Avengers movie, because this one was really fun.
