My Review-

I do not even know where to begin with this movie, which is a good thing in this case. This movie was just pure awesomeness from start to finish, Joss Whedon did an amazing job writing and directing a movie this big. I had faith in him when I first read he was going to write and direct this movie and I am glad that they chose him to helm this movie and possible franchise. I am still awe about this superhero movie, since it is the first of its kind like this. This movie had everything; action, comedy, suspense, more action and comedy. Another thing was the amazing fight scenes, especially between Hulk and Thor, actually all the fight scenes were actually pretty badass and well choreographed. The movie also had a lot of wonderful one liners and jokes throughout the movie between all the actors. What made this movie also work is that all the actors got equal screen time with their characters, was not how each actor got more screen time then the other. Whedon wrote in away they all got the same amount and it worked really well. Some action scenes were better than others, but the main thing that surprised me was Mark Ruffalo as the Hulk. Now at first I was a little iffy when he was chosen to replace Edward Norton for this film, but Ruffalo did an amazing job as Bruce Banner he is probably the best actor to ever play Bruce Banner/The Hulk because when he was in the film as The Hulk the movie became 10x more awesome then it already was. I do not want to spoil anything more if I have already, but this movie should be seen. It's the first movie of its kind where all types of superheroes come together like this and its done really fucking awesome. So if you have not seen this movie yet, even though it did just come out a this morning, go and see it this weekend to see the amazing job that Joss Whedon has done with this movie, it is well worth your money. Also stay because there are two post-credit scenes after the movie and they are both worth waiting for as well. It was well worth the wait in line, and it was well worth every Marvel movie starting with Iron Man, and I cannot wait too see if they make a sequel and hopefully it will top this one, and if Joss Whedon is writing and directing again, I know it will.
