that is gold.

re: Avengers - all you really need to know is that it's funny, exciting and unpredictable.

The 3D is well presented but the movie is great without relying on it.

They probably could have done a bit more to bring the audience up to speed - I'm sure plenty of people will see this who haven't seen the lead in films and might get a bit confused.

From what I've read they did plan to cast Edward Norton as Hulk / Banner again - but now I'm kinda glad they didn't. I do get a bit bothered when parts are recast but after seeing this film Mark Ruffalo IS Bruce Banner / Hulk.
