Loads of fun with a few exceptions

Rating: 8/10 (19 April 2013)

I'm a long time Marvel comic reader and know the superheroes in the Avengers quite extensively. Hulk being my number one read and the Avengers in my top 10.
This movie was well made with loads of entertainment possibly to capture all audience members who have very little to no knowledge of Marvel comics. If I was to walk into this movie without knowing anything about Marvel comics, I would have been thoroughly entertained.
The computer generation was fantastic. Visual effects were stunning. We've come along way since Superman with Christopher Reeve. The actors skills were superb, especially Robert Downey Jr. I loved all the humour chucked in. These light moments were well placed at the proper scenes.
That being said, to add just a couple complaints as a die hard Marvel fan, here is how Marvel could have made this a better movie and future movies.
1. Loki, there could have been a more original villain. Regurgitating an old foe from the Thor
film was lame. There is so many choices that could have been used.
2. Thus speaking of Thor, this is not the real Thor. I didn't like the Thor film and I certainly
would not give it the votes I give the Avengers. Thor in the comic book was much bigger
and possessed more power and abilities. I think Marvel should have used CGI technology
with Thor's character instead of using a real life actor. They did a great job with Hulk, so
why not make Thor with a awesome physique and structure?
Another little thing to notice, actually my wife did, is Scarlett Johansson. The scenes where she is running is hilarious. I think she should have practised those scenes better, because she looks like she just discovered her legs and their movement.
Other than that, it was an excellent movie. Since I am a huge Hulk fan, I'm glad they gave the spotlight to him with a multitude of scenes.
