well, *that* was fun

I could have done without "mewling quim" and with a few less explosions, but other than that? Wow, what a ride.

The Avengers wins, with the exception noted above, the Oscar for Action Movie with the Best Dialog. Period. End of discussion.

Joss Whedon and Robert Downey, Jr. should make lots more movies together, but everybody else was terrific, too. Esp. Tom Hiddleston. Ye godlings. There's just something so Wrong about falling for the villain every bit as much as I did the heroes. Seriously.

My inner ten-year-old (not to mention my adolescent fangirl) is extremely satisfied right now.

I've been hearing good things about it from a lot of people with very different tastes. I've been hesitant to go because I really hated the Iron Man movie. Same kind of thing?

If you didn't like Iron Man, you probably wouldn't like The Avengers, alas.

But I'd ask that of more people than just me. I loved Iron Man, too [wry g].
