I would like Joss Whedon even if he directed Twilight
(okay, maybe not Twilight), but he takes a very tricky material and makes it
into an excellent two hour switch-your-brain-off popcorn aplenty event. He makes the most of
his ensemble cast, portraying each of the individual characters to perfection,
giving them all plenty face-time and still
keeping an hour and a half for heavy duty explosions and fast-paced fights (and occasional unnecessary speech.).

Very beautiful lead actress. Well, obviously all men
and women in this film are very attractive, but I am not a fan of Paltrow
whereas the lady playing Hill (some Smoulders) looks more like a model than an
actress and I am not a fan of models being in movies either. On the other hand,
Johansson is so very beautiful, it’s hard to keep focus on the dialogue.The threat Loki gives her, that he will have her raped to death by Hawkeye is super unpleasant.
3. Some very, very hot men. Or cold, however you wanna
see it. Of all the heroes, Hawkeye is my favourite, as he seems to keep very low
profile and is good with a bow (can relate). No gay costumes or gadgets there.
The main reason I went to see it though, of course, was Loki. I like the face
(and the hair was so cool in this one, so ridiculously villain with fashion
issues…) of Tom Hiddleston so much, I could stare at a spy cam of him being in
that glass cell for days. When he
snarls, when he smiles, when he raves, when he looks like he’s about to French-kiss
his brother, he is perfect. I cannot imagine Loki looking any other way – those
cold watery eyes, the thin lips of an uncomfortably large mouth (toooo many
teeth O.o), slightly less anorexic than he had to be in Thor and just so much
of a sickly, last-in-line-for-the-throne prince, he gives Joffrey a run for his
money.
And of course the
constant, nasty inferiority complex he oozes in his every move and manner: whereas
Thor actually is an Asgardian, Loki is not at all – his father Farbauti may
have been an ice giant, but Loki’s mum Laufey was human. He is the least godly of Norse gods. Although in legend his
kids are kind of interesting. Not many Gods these days fuck wolves.

The whole role of Hulk :D
Even as Dr. Banner, he
is great. Mark Ruffalo plays him even better than Eric Bana. I loved the line: “That
is my secret, Cap. - I am always angry.”
And then of course when
he beats everyone who gives him five minutes of their time: even friends. When
he and Thor land together after mission accomplished, he punches him through
the building just because.
And when of course LOKI
starts to spit and hiss like an angry kitten about his superiority, you have to
see to understand why that scene nearly made me pee myself. That is such a
fucking excellent scene! General warned me my precious Loki will get
bitchsmacked in this film and I replied I certainly hope so – I paid good money
to see it. Though I wasn’t expecting THAt :D Ragdoll! :D
5.
The machines. The sky fortress was lovely, but the
evil alien fishy thingies were better :D And of course how Hulk handles them
was also great.
6.
Agent Coulson. Very sad :( Though he is so funny
when he waits for Natasha to pick up the phone again…
7.
The lines: Bruce:
… That guy’s brain is a bag full of cats. You can smell crazy on him.
Thor:
I care how you speak. Loki is beyond reason, but he is of Asgard. And he is my
brother!
Natasha: He killed
eighty people in two days.
Thor:
(admittedly) He is adopted.
8.
Stuff unsaid: When Capt. America gives Nick Fury back
the ten bucks. When cops turn and start following America’s previously (before
he smacked several baddies into pieces) instructions…
9. Some of very many Stark lines :) “Your mother wants
her drapes back…” and the likes. Ouch.
10.
The issue of resolve. (/Conviction.) I am very fond of
the issues of resolve.
