Avengers is an Ant; Batman is a Boot.

Rating: 9/10 (4 May 2012)

This film is overrated. Critics are calling this the best comic book based movie ever and I'm just not feeling it. To use an analogy from the film, Avengers is an Ant, Batman (Nolan's version) is a Boot.
The positives of the movie are the humor (lots of LMAO moments), the action scenes and I just love seeing these heroes on screen.
The big negative was the plot, particularly the plan and motives of the antagonist. It didn't make sense why Loki needed an army from another realm to conquer earth, when he seemed to be doing fine on his own with that staff of his and manipulating people. While Loki seems to have no problem traveling back and forth to earth and other realms, why can't the space army use the same worm hole he uses?
The rules of the game are unclear. Why is it that Loki can blast Captain America's shield and knock him off his can, but when Thor strikes Cap's shield it seems to have less impact on Cap than Loki's blast? How is Thor's hammer able to hold down the Hulk, but when the hammer is laying inside SHIELD's ship, it doesn't drag the whole ship down or fall through the ship? When Thor is trapped inside that room falling toward earth, why can't he use lightening to open it up? How does Thor, when he is supposed to be cut off from earth after the events in "Thor", know that Loki took the cube and just happens to drop in on the ship where Loki's held captive? How is it that Nick Fury can touch the cube in the beginning of the film, yet we see in "Captain America: The First Avenger" the Red Skull opens up the cube by touching it? In fact, why is Loki going through all this trouble to open up the cube when Skull seemed to do it effortlessly? While the rag doll scene was funny, how is it that a god with all these magical powers can be slammed around by an earthly creature and affected by Iron Man's blast? Yeah, the government has this brilliant idea of using nukes to protect the rest of the world without even thinking about firing nukes inside the worm hole where the threat is coming from.
This film is good if you turn your brain off. I found it funny, enjoyable and exciting to watch. Although I was glued to my seat and will probably get it when it comes out on BluRay, I am not eager to see this movie in a theater again.
So this is far from the best comic book movie ever made (I saw Nolan's movies multiple times in theaters). It lacks any depth and originality to claim that title. Maybe it would at least be arguable had they plugged all the plot holes in the script. Batman is the boot that steps on the Avenger ant.
There's The Dark Knight, Batman Begins and then everything else.
