I hated The Avengers. The dialogue was cheesy. Downey's one liners and smugness is getting tired. Joss Whedon is just a fukking cornball, period. So I wasn't expecting to enjoy any of the dialogue. I'd take Nolan's (even though he's only producing in this case) heavy handed melodramatic dialogue over Whedon's cheesy dialogue any day. Whedon scripts are very Whedon. Like Tarantino he masturbates on a page. He loves to hear himself talk. But unlike Tarantino, Whedons dialogue's only funny to people who enjoy Dane Cook jokes.
The action scenes and the CGI was forced. Kind of like getting hit over the head with a blunt object over and over again until your head is numb. By the final battle I was CGI fatigued.
Also, by the end there was shyt blowing up everywhere and I'm supposed to believe that Nighthawk could contribute anything to this fight? Get the fukk out of here. You've already asked me to suspend enough belief.
Loki was a boring villain. Plus, didn't we already see him in the equally bad Thor?
I'm expecting a lot from Superman...but if it's anything like the boring snooze fest The Avengers I WANT MY MONEY BACK!
