I'm glad I came back for this one. This movie was great. I thought Robert Downey was going to suck the movie awayfrom everyone else, but he pretty much held the whole thing together.

Doom is a Fantastic Four guy and that movie is being remade, so I wouldn't expect to see him taking on the Avengers any time soon.
Loki's boss was Thanos. A cosmic baddy who is in love with Death. LITERALLY. | odessasteps

I mean if me, someone who barely sees movies, is thinking about a second screeing, I'm sure the people that do that sort of thing all the time are doing it.
I've never really understood that train of thought, but I had friends who saw Independence Day 4 or 5 times in the theater, and the Michael Keaton Batman movie like 10 times. I figure those guys are clocking return trips to the Avengers.

It was the "I am bored, lets do something..ID4 is still in theaters, lets go." I saw it opening day on July 3rd and the last time, I saw it was my second day of college in September. I was never bored once.
I'd love to see Avengers again, but baby is going to make that difficult and the wife seems a little ticked I went without her. Hopefully, I can take her out on the Friday, we don't have the kid to see it.

I would probably go with other people to see The Avengers again, mostly to revel more in the dialogue since I know what course they take. But more the most part, I almost never see movies a second time, in the movies or even on DVD/Blu-Ray.

Also, Avatar's a film that doesn't really hold up well. The characters are one-dimensional, and the plot's a rip-off of Last of the Mohicans and just about any "white savior to the uncivilized people" movie. And it's not funny. There's not much there past the fantastic special effects and half-naked blue people.
I loved The Avengers; I found it every bit as funny as it was action-packed. My favorite funny moment has to be the silent handover of the ten bucks by Cap. Heh.

Of course we rode past a restaurant advertising schwarma. (sp?) What an odd, random food choice - yet better than the blatant Burger King plug in Iron Man.

Heh.

I think there's potential for her, as she actually talks and acts like a person, just green and big. Plus, there's all the girl type humor of scaring off her dates and breaking a nail or "Darn, I just bought those shoes" if they want to go that route. | Llakor

She-Hulk has been in Fantastic Four, The Avengers AND The Defenders (of course so has Bruce come to think of it)
