i'll see this movie at least two more times in the next week.

wow. wow. wow.

my only complaints are the slow first hour and Thor not being quite powerful enough for my tastes.

but, i mean, after that last hour who cares about any of that.

Awesomeness ranking

1) Hulk. They finally got it right.
2) Cap. Just a souped up version of a regular guy who everyone listens to and who thrashes aliens with a trash can lid
3) Black Widow and Hawkeye (tie). Never in my life did I think they could make the B team so awesome. I want movies for each of them now.
4) Iron Man. I thought they nailed the dynamic between Tony and Steve Rodgers wonderfully. Tony's got everything in the world, and sometimes he can get confused. Cap is the guy who reminds him what's right.
5) Thor. I thought Thor got a little bit of a short shrift. He's at least the equal of the Hulk in power set, so I thought he should have gotten to do more cool stuff. But maybe it's all relative, because he got to do PLENTY of cool stuff.

There's just so much cool stuff.

Wow.
