On the whole "Stark revival" thing, I actually kinda prefered it this way, simply breaking the tension instead of playing it for drama. How many times have we seen a character unconscious/near dead being revived under intense dramatic circumstances and at the last second they're miraculously revived? Fucking shitloads, that's how many, and it's so cliched, boring and undramatic every time that I just don't care because you know that they're not dead so why bother with such a scene anyway.

Plus we can add yet another thing to the ever growing list of things Hulk can do that defies logic/physics just by being angry; he can now scare the life back into you by being angry at the universe.


And that's why Hulk is awesome.

You act like the Hulk couldn't do that already.

If it defies logic and physics, assume the Hulk can do it if angry enough.

I watched it subbed and in 2D last friday and it was pretty nice but, today I watched it in 3D and, well, 3D SUCKS for 2 main reasons:
  • The image got darker, like bad horror film on your old grandma's TV dark.
  • A lot of detail was lost, it was blurry, horribly blurry, specially noticeable after watching it in 2D, several small things were really hard to notice, including a recurring cameo, I saw it because I KNEW it was there.

Oh, thing that was made me sad: No Captain Hammer cameo. :P

I have decided that the sequel to this movie should just be a room full of random superheroes standing around for a while. Tony Stark then walks in and proceeds to make fun of/banter with all of them for 2 hours. Gods the wit!

I really enjoyed the movie overall. I came into it with the expectation of "action movie with a sort of plot maybe but look at all the explosions and super powers!!" What I got was actually a pretty cleverly written movie with some explosions and was I swooning while Captain America was working out? Because I might have been swooning a little.

As for Coulson's death, I'm pretty sure he's dead. I think Fury just took the cards out of his locker and put some of his blood on them. All he wanted to do was inspire the team and give them something to "avenge," I doubt it's anything more than that really.

I thought that Whedon did a good job with the characters. Everyone had a part to play and there was at least a smidge of character development for everyone. I mean, when Black Widow tricked up the Trickster God and got the info she needed, I was pretty much like "that's a cold bitch right there, I'm impressed." Both Widow and Hawkeye had some great fight scenes and I really didn't get the impression that they were underused or being thrown on the second string just because they don't have powers.

Anyone for shwarma? My bf and the group I went with searched for a shwarma place to eat at afterwards, but there was none in the area, so we settled for Mexican food. In silence!

I'd just like to say that shawarma is EVERYWHERE here. That joke has special significance to me. Seriously, our city is less than a million people and there's like 200 shawarma restaurants. Blows big chain stores out of the water in terms of quantity.

Shawarma is delicious.

The thing that this movie does really well is that it realises it is a comic book movie so it basks in the comic bookiness of it.

It was pretty fucking awesome.

Yeah, it seems to have the perfect formula of being a "fun" movie as opposed to dark and grim (like the Nolan Batman movies, whereas this one reminded me more of the Burton Batman movies and the Reeve Superman movies).

Oh, I thought it was a really sweet parallel to Cap's solo film when Tony is running out of power while driving the nuke into space while staring at Pepper's picture. That's the moment that really sells him as a bonafide hero.

This right here.

Maybe it's the massive Captain America fanboy in me, but I really loved the approach this movie took to the Captain America/Iron Man relationship. It would have been really easy (given both Whedon's proclivities towards wit and the public's adoration of Downey Jr's portrayal) to have had Stark be a smartass iconoclast running circles around the more traditional heroes in the team (the trailers especially made the movie look like this) but what we get is the per raw goodness of Steve Rogers inspiring Stark to be the hero he needs to be, which ties in nicely with Coulson's line about old fashioned heroism being what people need.
