ORIGINAL: TheFuzz_1989 Great film, most fun I've had at the cinema in a while, lots of laughs and some superb action, the final showdown in NY being the obvious highlight, which was very smartly laid-out and brilliantly executed, every hero getting their moment to shine. I can't imagine how hard it would have been to plan it all out, but Whedon and co. certainly were up to the task. The humour ranged from smart quips (the majority coming from Stark), to the sadly childish situational humour, eg "Oh, that's what it does" , but I guess they had to cater to everyone in that respect. The bits that had me in stitches were Stark's imitation and descriptions of Thor, and especially Hulk's rather belligerent interrupting of Loki's monologue. The fact that it doesnt take itself too seriously and takes full advantage of the characters' comedic and action potential makes for a thoroughly enjoyable romp. Also, can anyone attest to wether the 3D is in any capacity worth it? Didn't bother the first time in case it was crap, but i will definitely be seeing this again so may dabble. I have to say that with the exception of Avatar and Titanic, I've found 3D to be pretty useless. I was skeptical about seeing this in 3D for that reason, but I think to worked brilliantly. Some of it was subtle, some of it spectacular. But unlike previous film such as Tron Legacy or Star Wars Ep1, I didn't have to concentrate on seeking out the 3D elements only to be disappointed when I saw nothing. The 3D in The Avengers seemed very natural and very cool I struggled with the 3D in this. The bit where that big dragon thing emerges from the portal made me go cross-eyed, my eyes literally couldn't focus on anything and it was a bit uncomfortable, and there were one or two other moments like that. The darkness thing was a real hindrance in a couple of scenes too. I'd recommend sticking with the 2D tbh. Really? I honestly found this shot to be the most impressive bit of 3D It was the shot from behind when it's just emerged, it really threw my eyes. Made me a little dizzy.
