    It sounds like you're not into popcorn movies. HM and I thought Thor was pretty rockin'. We liked Captain America as well.

    Avengers is not an Oscar contender. It's a summertime fun movie. If you go into it expecting more than comic book funtimes, then you'll probably be disappointed.

      She said it was bog standard Hollywood hero schlock with a plot that had the same integrity as wet tissue paper. The only saving grace was that it was wet tissue paper someone had drawn a rather pretty picture on.

      Great if you fancy an evening of slack-jawed mouth breathing or if you considered Transformers 3 to be a sublimely paced intelligent epic with witty characterization and real social themes.
      I've hated all the transformers movies. I don't usually go ga-ga for summer blockbusters, but this was just a really fun movie.

      Its not Citizen Kane, but I didn't want it to be. I do not regret at all the $13.00 spent to see it.

        I'm sorry Foogoo, I am into 'popcorn flicks' as well, but Captain America has to be the biggest piece of shit conceived in years.

        Dumb as shit nazi plot? Check.

        German accents that couldn't be more painfully crappy even if they deliberately tried to do so? Check.

        Totally forgettable action scenes, the climax of which involves a shield bouncing off a wall? Check.

        I'm sorry but I find it hard to believe they could make a movie about a super soldier so boring or so underwhelming.
        The very existence of flame-throwers proves that some time, somewhere, someone said to themselves, You know, I want to set those people over there on fire, but I'm just not close enough to get the job done.

          Yes, well, I'll counter your assessment with my biggest disappointment in recent ages: Cowboys and Aliens. How a movie featuring Harrison Ford (Han! Indy!) and Daniel Craig (Bond!) ended up being so utterly terrible is beyond me. Captain America might have not been the best movie ever, but it least it wasn't that bad.

            ....Lies. Lies!

            That was a cinematic masterpiece.
            Characters:
            Peridan Twilight, one-eyed dog of the Legion, deceased.
            Daniel Nobody, adventurer and part time problem solver.

                Maybe if they tried making him Canadian.

                  Nah that already exists, it's called Superman... but don't get me started on that movie.
