I can't recommend this movie highly enough. The Avengers successfully captured everything I love about comicbooks. Marvel and Whedon demonstrate it is possible to make a superior adaptation without sacrificing the integrity of the source material.
A concern was that Downey might steal the show and IM would eclipse other characters in the execution of the story. I am happy to report that this is not the case. All the relevant characters were well represented and each made their own important contributions to the film and the action. If anything I thought Scarjo and Ruffalo really stood out as Black Widow and the Hulk.
The action was beyond spectacular with each battle trumping the next and the team dynamic particularly stood out as it should.
MAKE SURE TO STAY FOR BOTH IN-CREDIT SCENES AT THE END OF THE FILM!!! Both worthwhile.
I can't wait to see it again!

The story is nothing special. If you have seen Dances With Wolves or The Last Samurai you will recognize it.
What makes this movie sing is the mind blowing effects and intense action sequences. i will be returning to the theatre just to see it again in 3D.
This is one not to miss on the BIG screen.
Yes, I recommend this movie.

I went to see it midnight at the Cine Capri in Tempe AZ. A great theater and great fans.
Heath will get the Best Supporting Actor Oscar. The intensity when the Joker was on screen was energizing. You felt anything could happen and did.
I think Nolan deserves Best Director for being able to manage all these great characters and get everyone appropriate screen time. Yes we knew the Joker was going to be great but who else was worried that Two Face would be under developed. He was the heart of the film. The biggest surprise in this movie for me was how well they used the Dent/Two Face character and how well Eckhart did in bringing him to life.
I have always been more a Marvel fan but as far as comic book movies, DK has set bar for filmmaking this decade. This is coming from a guy who loved Iron Man and Hulk.
I think what makes this really special is Nolan and his creative team have taken the Batman and instead of adapting the comic to the have created this new universe and story specifically for film. Sure he does take some elements from the comic but they have created a new Batman mythos. Bravo!!
