So the Avengers movie...

[salinea]

was very, very good. Probably the best superhero movie I've seen yet (not that I think the bar is placed very high, but still), Whedon definitly brought his A game in term of ensemble dynamics, snappy lines and making everything fizzle with a great sense of fun and geekness. Almost no character beat is missed.

My favorite character of the movie was easily Black Widow - but pretty much everyone had a chance to shine in a variety of clever and awesome ways, and I liked that attention was paid to have interesting interaction between a whole variety of pairs of characters (although still nothing that would allow the movie to pass the Bechdel test and I'm till pissed off that Hill got whitewashed.)

Glad to hear you enjoyed the movie. Judging by the trailers I've seen it looked like it was going to be a smashing hit. Can't wait to see it next Friday!

I am particularly pleased to hear Black Widow got a chance to shine in this movie; I felt she was underused in Iron Man 2. :(

She was a bit, yes, although she was still my favourite part of that movie XD
