I seemed to have a spefic liking to Thor although Iron Man was just a good from what I saw. I have yet to see The Avengers so I'll see how that plays out when I watch it. Thor(in my case at least)has got better with repeat viewings.I just watched it this morning actually and the scene where he gets Mjolnir back is a ing CRACKER. helps that its quite important(maybe moreso than the others)to The Avengers story. Thor was fantastic. Behind only Avengers and Iron Man. As for comments about people being up Nolan's ass, he is the greatest director of our generation. That may be my opinion but there are several arguments that can be made to support that claim. Nolan has taken his great ability to tell an intellectual story (Memento, Following, Prestige) and married that with one of the best superheroes. Avengers will probably do better at the box office. It appeals to a larger range of people. I would take my kids to Avengers (if I had any) but I wouldn't take them to The Dark Knight Rises. It was the best "summer movie" i've sen in a long time, but as for me, Link in 2012, at age 26, Batman is for me. Batman and Nolan's story telling will resonate more with me. Its going to be smarter, more emotional and better technically. The Avengers will be more fun, funnier and a great franchise, and I plan on seeing it for the 2nd time today.

its hard for me to place Thor in terms of favorites because I liked all the Marvel movies more or less equally but yes its very good.

Just so everyone knows, when someone states that this was better than the dark knight or vice versa it's entirely opinion. There's really no way to judge a movie and go as far as saying it's not as good/won't be as good as the dark knight rises.
Professional movie critics themselves will tell you what they write is an opinion.

Saw it again in 3D. Like Joker said, it's even better the second time. And I still want to go and watch it again. For me, it's not just my favorite superhero movie, it's quite possibly my favorite movie of all time.

Saw it earlier, and I have to be honest, as awesome as it was, something seemed 'meh' about it. Now I'm not saying I didn't like it, I really enjoyed it and will totally get it later on DVD, hell I might even go back and see it, and the post credits scene is incredible, but I don't know, I think it might have something to do with me as a person. I love the build to things much more than the actual pay-off, I loved the little easter eggs in all the build-up films. It was an action rager, and fun as hell.

Just got back. It was super entertaining, easily one of the best popcorn flicks I've ever seen. It was funny and witty, and there were so many awesome moments. Hulk smashing Loki, incredible. I will definitely buy it on blu-ray and I will probably see it again.
That being said, I still like Thor better if I'm being honest. Avengers felt like an ensemble extension of Thor. Which was great, and I'm not taking anything away from how entertaining it was, but it was lots of eye candy. I thought Thor, and the first Iron Man for that matter, had better stories and more substance, which is why I would personally rank Avengers third in line. Although, the more we get, the more these movies all feel like pieces of one big puzzle.
I'm not sure how anyone is comparing this to Batman. Two completely different animals. Nolan drives his films through layers and substance, and a ton of dialogue and human emotion. Avengers was driven on over the top action and banter. Just not comparable for me.

I saw the midnight showing, the friday night showing, the saturday showing, and just took 3 vans full of youth kids to go and see it after service this morning. Man I love this movie, Joss Whedon did things right, it was incredible, I've been buying comics and watching the shows since '95 and all of my life I've waited for what this movie was, and I am in no way disappointed. Incredible, I love all of the lead in films, and I now cannot wait for the next batch of films setting up for the sequel. Amazed.
You can't compare the masterpiece MARVEL put out to this travesty called Batman.
Now I like the Nolan films for what they are, but they are not DC Comics Batman. They aren't, and that's just the truth, I think The Avengers proved you can do the fanatical of Comics in modern day without it being campy and G Rated.
The Avengers is THE best comic book movie ever made so far, and I look forward to all that Marvel/Disney/Paramount put out from here. So great the finally had people do it right.
Now Fox and Sony just need to surrender the rights to the characters they still own the rights to, and let us have what those characters should be.

"What's your secret? Mellow jazz? Bongo drums? Huge bag of weed?"
I loved the interaction between Stark and Banner...I wish they'd give those two their own buddy flick with IM and Hulk and just let them riff on each other for 2 hours.

That movie was 4 years of build-up that paid off. Besides TDK Rises and the Avengers are two different genre comic book films, they're not in each other's goddamn league.

In my opinion, Iron Man was a better movie than The Dark Knight. And the third TDKR trailer makes the movie look awful. That being said, I can't wait to see The Avengers. Taking my kids soon.

The sheer anger that the "Nolan-onlys" show when someone suggests that they prefer one comic film over the other would seriously bring to light that a few of them may have a little bit of trouble in the brain.

This movie is still on my mind after seeing it yesterday. Can't wait until I can see it again.
All of the characters were perfect, from Hulk to Maria Hill.
As far as the inevitable comparison, I think this is the greatest comic book movie ever made.
While Dark Knight and possibly TDKR will be better "films," I think the Avengers did something that nobody thought was possible, which is make a great comic book movie without stripping away the comic book feel.
