Quite fun. I had no idea the Hulk could be so funny.
Not sure if this is better than Christopher Reeve's first outing as Superman, but it's pretty damn close.
Probably the best Avengers review you're likely to read...

QuoteAnd please, leery tragi-men, don't dribble on about "Scarlett Johansson's arse in 3D" being "worth the price of admission". The film was shot in 2D and converted to 3D using software, which means you're actually drooling over a 2D image of Scarlett Johansson's arse wrapped around a wireframe model of an arse that isn't there. You're sitting in front of HAL 9000, jerking off like a monkey. Somewhere, the machines are laughing at you.

QuoteLoki, who looks like a cross between Withnail and the sort of grinning pervert who'd have sex with a fistful of Mattesson's liver pate in the window of an apartment overlooking a hospice bus stop.
Fantastic.
I don't want to spoil anything, but there was one - extremely brief - scene between the Hulk and Loki that nearly made me wet myself with happiness. If you've seen the film, you know which scene I'm talking about. If you haven't seen the film, the other two hours and twenty minutes are fairly entertaining. Those five seconds would very nearly be worth the price of admission even if the rest of it sucked.

I know EXACTLY what you're talking about. I honestly don't know what happened in the next 2-3 minutes because I was pretty much laughing nonstop.

That, plus the scene a few minutes earlier with Hulk and Thor are worth the price of admission alone. As someone brilliantly said, I had no idea the Hulk could be so funny.

This. I LoLled. Also make sure you stay all the way through the credits (although that's standard operating procedure for these movies I guess)
