I saw it on Sunday (coz it came out early for Europe 
).
It is brilliant. Very good story, but they also made it very funny as well, and it works.

The Avengers

I thought it was going to be completely awful, but the comments here don't reflect that. Maybe I'll give it a shot.
What falls away is always, and is near.
Also, I am not pretending to be female, this profile picture is my wonderful girlfriend. XD
You rarely (if ever) see something "completely awful" when it is directed and written by Joss Whedon.
 
I was pleasantly surprised, I was dreading it, because that's a lot of "BIG" characters to manage, but Joss Whedon has so much experience with that, he made it appear effortless.
The action sequences succeeded where Transformers failed utterly in cities, my only gripe was that the antagonist seemed a bit one dimensional, his motivations were at times quite unclear. Fantastic movie all round

If you’re going to watch tele, you should watch Scooby Doo. That show was so cool because every time there’s a church with a ghoul, or a ghost in a school. They looked beneath the mask and what was inside? The f**king janitor or the dude who runs the waterslide. Throughout history every mystery. Ever solved has turned out to be. Not Magic. ― Tim Minchin, Storm
I think you had to watch the Thor movie in order to understand the antagonist properly. Avengers is more of a sequel to a lot of Marvel films (Iron Man, The Hulk, Thor, Captain America, etc) than a standalone movie.
Even seeing Thor didn't make him a strong villain.. he never really looked like a serious problem, and mostly incompetent half the time.

In general, comic book movies are so consistently low in quality that I will be satisfied as long as 'The Avengers' is above the quality of 'Thor.'
