So I just got back from seeing the Avengers in 3d. I don't know that seeing it in 3D is such a treat per se…the film was strong enough on it's own….THIS FILM ROCKED! It would probably be helpful to see the films leading up to this (Both Iron Mans, The Incredible Hulk NOT THE ONE WITH ERIC BANA, THE ONE WITH EDWARD NORTON, Thor and Captain America) and get your geek on! This isn't just a mindless Michael Bey explosion fest with epic fights….there ARE epic fights don't get me wrong, but this cleverly written piece is EASILY one of the best super hero films I've seen. It's right up there w/the Dark Knight.

I don't even know where to begin with out spoiling anything. Mark Ruffalo is awesome as Bruce Banner and the Hulk steals just about ever scene he's in. There are so many great one liners, I might actually go and see this again because with the mob in the theater going absolutely crazy at every turn, the dialogue was kinda tough to make out at times. The 3-D on this film was really just average so save yourself a couple of bucks and go see it regular ….view (?). To be honest I would've preferred them to spend a little more attention to the audio, not that the sound mix wasn't good (I staked out a primo seat early dead center of the theater to enjoy the sound), but as I said you missed dialogue here and there and it wasn't always because of a boisterous audience.

If you stay through the initial round of credits, you will see an "Easter Eggs" for what i'm guessing is laying the framework for the next Avengers film…who knows. I couldn't make out who the villian was, but the rumor is it's Thanos. Apparently there's a second easter egg that I couldn't stay for (nature calling after 2.5 hour movie) but have heard it's kinda funny.

Anyone out there see it? Love to compare notes privately or here on the board under the spoiler code.

I would give this a solid 9 out of 10 nanners of the Monkey scale….why not 10? It ain't Bo Derek…perhaps in time when I see it again it'll get the extra nanner but it's 9 for now.

I am planning on seeing this one asap….probably this cominh Saturday. And I did see the movies in order prior to this one. Loved the fact that each movie lead into the next.

Don't forget to that there are Easter eggs in all of those films too…

My favorite part of the movie.

yup…

The impression I got from THIS movie is that Banner moved to India to get away from the kind of things that would normally set him off AND to get a better grip on his other self through meditation. However, he can still be triggered unvoluntarily if Banner is injured or he is placed in a situation of extreme danger. It would also seem that he can turn himself by getting really mad. It's been awhile since I actually read comic books, but like you, my Hulk knowledge was sort of restricted to the old TV show too.
