An intelligent teaser for the Avengers

Rating: 8/10 (23 May 2011)

It's a well done movie with proper acting (and even better by some) though I can honestly say that Rene Russo is being wasted here. It doesn't really need 3D apart from the Asgard Scenes. And it corresponds nicely with the Marvel original including some nice Donald Blake jokes. But I kept on feeling it was stoping short of its full potential, as if all it was here for is setting the ground for the big Avengers movie - and the movie had its fair share of hints aimed at that specific future production. It was nice but could have been so much better that eventually I'm a bit disappointed. So much more room for dramatic development that was left untapped it's simply a shame.
