This was well worth the wait, the money and the two and a half hours. This was a perfectly balanced movie. Character development, dialogue, intensity, comic relief...it had EVERYTHING. To say this was the best comic movie ever is an understatement, and considering how good Batman Begins, The Dark Knight, and Iron Man were. The 3D was well used, not over or underdone. We didn't get an overdose of Samuel L Jackson, which I was worried about. Overall, this might be the best action movie in YEARS!!
