The Avengers (2012)

Sorry I notice it on online, gone bit geek and post it here;

I think the worst thing about this will be Scarlett Johansson. Don't get me wrong I don't exactly mind looking at her, but she is a horrible actress, she just looks bored all the time, especially in that picture posted a few pages back of her firing two guns. But I am very excited for this movie nonetheless!

The CGI Hulk looks just like Mr.  Gruffello.

That's one thing I'd say about The Incredible Hulk - the Hulk looks, sounds and moves nothing like Ed Norton - and as a result I find it hard to suspend my disbelief that they are supposed to be the same character. It just feels as if Bruce Banner disappears and the Hulk appears. Be interesting what they do with the character in this film.

Working my way through Iron Man 2 at the moment - I watch films in half hour chunks on my iphone during my travel to and from work.

Narratively it's a bit of a mess (too many plots, none of which are given enough room to breath), but it's nowhere near as bad as I've been lead to believe - it's a perfectly serviceable sequel with some awesome design-work - at least so far it is anyway (about two thirds of the way through).

Thought The Incredible Hulk was let down by a half-baked script that didn't really do anything interesting with what could have been a fascinating central conceit, bland underwritten characters, poor casting (Liv Tyler was useless and had no chemistry at all with Norton and I couldn't take Ty Burrell seriously - he's a  superb comic actor in Modern Family but very miscast in something like Hulk).

I also found myself for the first time getting a bit annoyed by the fan service in a comic book type film. It's great to have little nods to the hardcore fans, but things like Stan Lee and Lou Ferrigno's cameos, the "Hulk Smash!" line and the music cue from the old 1970s Hulk series are so on the nose and attention-grabbing I just found them a bit distracting to the point where they took me out of the film.

I couldn't work out if it was supposed to be a sequel to Ang Lee's Hulk or not. It seemed to be trying to be a sequel and a reboot at the same time and as such felt like a bit of a mess.

Fecking awesome!!!!!    . . .  Smaller bits revealed about the film pending it's imminant release (but not giving to much away). Still not sure who the bad guys are? As for the Shield helicarrier it's superb!

and...

As in, "so what?" or "that's just one guy?". If it's the former... please see the quote in my post.

If it's the latter... fair enough. We'll see.

I think it's the alien race most want to know as Loki's been the villain since the teaser at the end of Cap'n 'Merica.

There's some speculation that it might be [spoiler]the Chitauri (Ultimate universe version of Skrulls)[/spoiler], since [spoiler]Fox probably owns the rights to traditional-style Skrulls as part of the Fantastic Four franchise[/spoiler].

Facts one assumes are not unconnected.
