Is there a reason you're spoilering speculation over a trailer?

I was doing it partly because we are talking about very recent movies that maybe some people have not seen yet.

Ok just saw couple of the new trailers off of the Super Bowl. Obviously Loki is in the middle of it and it involves an army. Where as Stark confronts in a personal bar says "We have a Hulk.".

Which leads me to believe there something else. Loki and an army would not challenge an army enough for a movie. Maybe something something to do with that uber-cube-ultimate-destruction we saw in Captian America.

Probably, all I know is that I'm so glad that they are obviously planning on using all of the characters to the full of their potential. Hulk getting knocked into that plane looked totally bad-ass, and I can't wait to see how much they do with Hawk-Eye because he is one of my favorites.

Downey does such a badass version of Stark. PERFECT casting and acting.

Just got back from seeing it (and a superhero marathon from 1pm - midnight, with the midnight premiere of Avengers).

It was wonderful. They had the characters down very well, and there are two extra vids after the credits. One after the fancy credits, one after all the credits.

Thanks for the tip.

Can you give a general plot? I mean the plot details I have read are very vague and the trailers just show the Avengers destroying things. Not that it matters to me. All i want to see is the Hulk fuck things up and funny lines from RD Jr.

That and a fight between Thor and the Hulk with Iron Man in between.

A bit over-done with the Hulk roaring/screaming... but I really liked this double feature... http://movies.netflix.com/WiMovie/Hulk_ ... id=2361637

You get the following fights:
Thor/Iron Man
Hulk/Black Widow
Hulk/Thor
Hulk/Loki
Thor/Loki
Iron Man & Captain America/Loki
One cute Hawkeye shot vs Loki
Black Widow/Loki interrogation
Lots of Avengers vs alien invaders

You do have Hulk messing things up, and RDjr does have several good lines.

Well, the fights don't last too long, so it needed several fights. The key is every character got their moment to contribute, rather than just the three heavy hitters (Iron man, Hulk, and Thor) taking care of the fights.

Oh, and after the Hulk/Loki fight, be sure to catch what Hulk says.

That was so hard as everyone was laughing at the time... got it after the second time (yes, saw it twice).

There were a lot of fan moments, that made someone who knew the Avengers (and Shield) from the comics very happy.

And a nice amount of backstory on Widow and Hawkeye.


And the scene at the end (very end) was priceless.


Now my only wonder is are they going to redo and bring along the Fantastic 4?
