Don't kill me for not giving it a perfect 10...

The Avengers was exactly what I thought it would be: loud, funny, action-filled and FUN. It was a BLAST watching all of the superheroes we've come to know so well fight together and with each other. Hulk vs Thor? YES PLEASE! The Hulk definitely stole the show in an AWESOME way. You probably won't blink once during the action/fight scenes. You wouldn't want to miss anything! All the greatness being said...there just could have been a little bit more to the story. All the fighting and loud noises distract you that there isn't TOO much of a story going on other than "team-up and save the world from an alien race we don't know much about." This is where I think I have been spoiled by The Dark Knight. The Dark Knight set the bar for story-telling for superhero movies; it was deep and really touched a nerve. If you cut it, it would bleed. I also wanted Hawkeye, to play a bigger part! ALL of that being said, you get what you expect from watching The Avengers: a REALLY good time where you don't have to think too hard to really appreciate it.
