I'm right there with you G-Man.
I hate most Marvel crap (I'm a DC anti-hero fanboy), but this thing rocked the house. It was a masterpiece of comic dialog with the techno-geek (Iron Man), retro naievete (Captain America), cold war spy stuff (Black Widow), everyman weapons expertise (Hawkeye), Superman-invulnerability (Thor), and animal rage (Hulk).
Sam Jackson as the zookeeper was top-notch.
It also sparked stupid controversy which adds spice to the mix.
It even had the non-superpowered everyman who sacrifices himself and saves the day at the eleventh hour.
Everything the rest of the world hates about America is here in egotistacal glory.
I think we can say 'The Avengers' is the ultimate 'Fuck Yeah - America' movie.
My only complaint was that the villain (Loki) was kind of lame.
I loved this movie and will see it again before it leaves the theaters.
Thank you again Greg for the 'Stark Industries' sign prop. I am always inspired to drink heavily and pick up a welding torch.
