I took it as a little of both Loki's staff was obviously causing people to be bitter towards each other, and the Hulk even picked up the staff, but I don't feel like he was being completely controlled by Loki

I look at it as more that it depends on how he turns into the Hulk. If it's because he is so angry and loses control you get the pissed off unstoppable behemoth. However, when he finally gives in and turns into it on his own accord, he has more control over it. It's kind of like the ending of the hulk movie when he fights Abomination. He has way more restraint in that fight for his surroundings. As for the cage on the helicarrier, it's not so much that the fall would kill Hulk, it's more that if he was out of control it would drop and get him the hell out of the ship before he could do major damage.

He's basically a long-running uber marvel villain whose obsessed with death (er...romantically, even, at times) and who's so tied up in so many Marvel characters/plots that I was really surprised they'd even attempt to go that direction with the films. It has high potential to be as much a train wreck as the Xmen/dark pheonix stuff turned out to be, but if they do enough build up, treating up like they did with all the Fury/Shield cameos over the last few years, then they could make something awesome.

I agree somewhat, but I don't the the end part was too much of a 'realization'. In an earlier scene he was just about to show the Avengers his 'party trick', so we can assume he had that level of control the whole movie. But I agree with the other posters saying it has to do with the way he changed that he had less control. When the helicarrier was hit and he fell down a floor, he was probably in serious pain/maybe even knocked unconscious, which would explain why he didn't have much control when he was the Hulk during that time.

yea people who always wanted to tame or experiment on the hulk have to usually get Banner unconscious. Its the quickest way to get Hulk to appear. They did it in the first film for starters

Just got back from it. I have not felt this giddy and immersed in a movie in YEARS.

This movie was freaking great! i laughed the whole thing, and i love all of the super heroes. Specially the Hulk... boy did i laugh with the Hulk!

I'll be reading over the spoilers in the thread and talking about the movie!!

just watched it last night. I wasn't going to because I am not really into super hero comics/movies, but after all the hype about this one I had to go. I ended up loving the movie and I can't remember the last time I saw a movie so good. "Ok that's a lie Warhorse was a really good one to"

This was an awesome movie! Just went out to see it with some friends, and thoroughly enjoyed it. I did feel a little like I was able to enjoy it more than my friends though, since I had watched all the other movies (Thor, The Hulk, Iron Man, Captain America) that tie into this one and some of my friends hadn't yet (they will now).

I loved the parts where the hulk randomly hits people, especially when he rag dolls Loki all over the place

Saw this earlier, awesome movie - for me Hulk totally stole the show! Cap America was pretty badass too. Agreed about the Hulk Japhir

Whole cinema was roaring with laughter for ages when that happened, was brilliant! Absolutely loved the movie every second of it

Going to see it again this week. I really love how at the end of the movie, Cap really comes into his own, giving orders and rallying the troops, and truly being the leader. Nice to see that. I was worried he might get lost in the shuffle, but he really became the Captain America we all know from the comics.

Also, I had to look up online what the hell Hulk said after smacking Loki all around. The theater was laughing too hard for us to catch it.

Yeah, I realized today, when discussing things with coworkers, that you really need to see the individual movies before this. Especially Thor. I didn't think about it, because my family has already seen them all, but a good part of the plot-line is really tied to the Thor movie. At minimum, that should be seen first. Maybe Ironman too, but probably not as important.

notman yeah they all have connections for sure but Thor def had the biggest plot lines leading in.

LOVED.
IT.

Avengers is simply 'incredible'.
Movie of the year so far.

Apparently it broke records at the office, you know what this means guys?

I watched this movie last night. It was great up until the part where the city gets attacked. The tension just sort of got lost there, the enemies died like flies(even the large fish creatures) and I didn't like how they decided to make fun of Loki(plotwise) every time he got a little threatening. He was like a big joke and I just couldn't take the bad guys seriously. The jokes just got really predictable too.
I was expecting something more because Joss Whedon wrote and directed this movie but I guess I was wrong. Oh well... Pretty far from movie of the year for me but not the worst though(American reunion and Red tails are good candidates for that.).

i dunno man, Loki came across to me as "the trickster god". making his own jokes and puns, which just seemed to backfire on him... hence he became the butt of some of his own jokes.

it wasn't too difficult to take him seriously, but he's a different kind of villain. he's not like the red skull, or doc oc, or victor von doom... he's not an uber serious guy, he's a laughing joking guy. and i think they did well to make him both evil and trickster-ish at the same time, let's face it, it's hard to pull off.

i guess i just enjoyed that... yes it's another villain plotting to take over the world, but at least among the ones we've seen, he's been able to keep his own unique personality.

Pretty much this, all characters came together wonderfully imo and set a great start for what is hopefully one of many movies to come

So few movies are able to find that perfect balance of humor, action, and heroism. Avengers is a fantastic film. Coming from someone who rarely goes to the theater anymore, I, very much, enjoyed it.

Took the family to see Avengers in 3D, then we went again the next day to see it in 2D.
It was amazing.
