Was a huge collector of Marvel comics growing up so I eat these movies up. Some have been somewhat disappointing however(Daredevil for one). Not this one, the special effects were great and they don't always amaze anymore due to computer capabilities. But this movie thoroughly entertained me. And what red blooded American male would have a problem looking at Natalie Portman for awhile. Anthony Hopkins was wonderful, nice to see him in a role where he isn't looking to eat someone. Hensworth was a pleasant surprise as a new comer, that physique is why I work out. Can't wait for the sequels that are sure to come.
