Hilarious!
Hilarious!!! Absolutely hilarious!!! I do have one criticism, tho. I don't like that they used the music from Willie Wonka and the Chocolate Factory (Gene Wilder.) Yeah, hate the music. But the movie is a 10/10. I absolutely love it, and I'll recommend it to my friends.

Great Movie!
I don't like comic books or comic book characters at all, but I loved this movie. For me, everyone did a fabulous job with his or her role, and there was no weak link. I loved Chris Hemsworth as Thor, loved Tom Hiddleston as Loki, loved Idris Elba as Heimdall, loved Jeff Goldblum as Grandmaster, and I especially loved Mark Ruffalo as the Hulk. He provided so much humor. For those who are sentimental, there's Sir Anthony Hopkins as Odin. Just fabulous, gorgeous scenes with his sons.The women, too, were fabulous. I generally don't like Cate Blanchett at all, but she was great as Hera, and unrecognizable. Beautiful Tessa Thompson was terrific as the Valkyrie warrior, Scrapper 142 (she needs a serious love interest). I could go on and on, but suffice to say, everyone brought his or her best to this movie.There are no weak spots in this film, no chance to refill your soft drink or grab a snack. Do that before you put the DVD in the player. It's almost non-stop action. And, best of all, at least for me, is that it has off-the-cuff comedy, especially between Ruffalo and Hemsworth.I think it's important to note that you don't have to be a fan of comic books or even Scandinavian mythology to understand and love this movie. I wasn't. Oh, I did know some mythology, and I brushed up a little on it before watching this, but it's certainly not my forte, nor is it required. This is a movie for everyone, of every age. If you're looking for a great family night movie, this would fill the bill nicely. No gratuitous sex scenes, no excessive violence (but a lot of fighting), and no stream of swearing. I don't think I remember any swear words. Kudos to the writers.Bottom line: This is a movie I think people who love action will enjoy, people who love mythology will enjoy, people who love comic book heroes will enjoy, and people who love comedy will enjoy. There is really nothing to dislike in this movie. As I said, I am not a comic book or mythology fan at all, and I enjoyed this movie. I wouldn't want to watch one every day, or even every week, but I'm very glad I watched this one last night.

Not for the 'serious' Marvel fan, but a seriously entertaining film
I expected to hate this movie. But it's self-deprecating and funny.Plot (no spoilers): Marvel allowed a bit of an irreverent stab at itself with this film, which was refreshing. There are both subtle and in-you-face jabs at the genre as a whole, the characters, and general superhero tropes, and it's pulled off very well. There was no point in making this a serious movie given the outlandish (even for a comic book film) premise, but it's as important to the overall story arc of the Avengers as any film in the series. It's over the top - but it's supposed to be. 4 stars.Acting: Mr. Hemsworth showed a lot of range in this movie. I've seen a few generally comic actors try their hand at action roles with varying effects; Hemsworth pulls off the reverse very well. If you didn't like him before, you may want to run out and grab a beer with him after. There's enough room in character development for the role players to showcase their skills, and they all kill it. I'm not a Benedict Cumberbatch fan, but his brief appearance as Dr. Strange outpaces his work in Infinity War by a long shot. I'm also not big on Cate Blanchett, but she nails her role as the antagonist while still working in some surprising comic effect. 5 stars.Cinematography: If heavy CGI use offends you, then stay away. But if that's the case, you should probably not watch Marvel movies at all. The visuals are striking (this movie is one of the rare ones that is does the 3D concept some justice) and the score - while reeking of 80s campiness - fits the scenes and the mood in every aspect. This movie toes the line between film, comics, and video games and tightropes it very well. 4 stars.Overall: If you expect a gritty, serioius movie then move on. If you're looking for something that can make fun of itself as well as the Deadpool franchise and still let your kids watch, this isn't a bad way to spend a couple of hours at all. 4+ stars.
