Impressive, most impressive

Rating: 10/10 (4 May 2012)

I was waiting for this film and was not disappointed. My 10 rating does not place it in the same class as "The Godfather", "Citizen Kane" et al. This is the "Citizen Kane" of superhero movies.
When I was a kid, my friend and I used to argue about which was better: Marvel or D.C. I used to complain that the Avengers fought amongst each other too much, instead of the "Justice League of America" who fought their foes more harmoniously. I think the former is probably more realistic, since all these egos on one team cannot work in complete harmony. There is a good scene where they are all bickering and challenging each other.
This film is not only action-packed, but there are some very funny scenes--more funny than any of today's supposed "comedies". The Hulk has many comic moments which is ironic since the two "Hulk" films were somewhat disappointing.
Robert Downey Jr. also has many good lines, better than in "Iron Man 2".
This is a wonderfully entertaining film, which is a rarity these days. I highly recommend seeing this film. Also, while there are some violent scenes, it is more viewable for the kids than "The Dark Knight".
My friend was right all along, the Marvel characters are much more exciting as a team than their D.C. counterparts, although I would love to see a live-action "Justice League of America".
