X-Men, move over! Wow!!!!

Rating: 9/10 (8 May 2012)

First of all, I'll say that I'm ranking this as a 9 out of 10 for an action picture. Maybe it's an 8 across all genres. I always ranked X-Men and IronMan as the top Marvel movies... Ghost Rider/DareDevil/Fantastic4 as the worst. I thought Capt America and Thor was OK as far as their own movies. Throw them all together and... WOW! Things I liked: each hero was showcased in some form or another. IronMan's rocking arrival. The internal conflict among heroes. Things I didn't like: Although Scarlett played her role very well, I do think showcasing Black Widow was a mistake. Those tiny pistols against the army? *ping* *ping* it did look pretty pathetic. Secondly, I realize that Capt America's uniform is original... but he stood out like a bad Halloween costume. Perhaps a VERY dark blue would have been better? Best scene... Hulk and Loki. I've never seen 500 people erupt in cheers and clapping... a few standing ovations as Hulk responded to Loki's rant. I'd likely pay the $13 simply to see that scene again.
I'm curious to read the script. I wonder how much of the film is choreographed in the script. There wasn't a lot of dialogue, but when there was, it was excellent. By far the best pure action movie I've scene that I can remember. Awesome, awesome, awesome!
To those that haven't seen the movie... make sure you watch the credits *wink*
