I’ve been postponing doing this review for a while now and I honestly haven’t the clue why.. but I just got back from seeing it the second time so I figured I should get it done.
It probably wasn’t even worth seeing twice, I would’ve rathered seen Dark Shadows tonight instead but I didn’t want to break my tradition of seeing all the marvel movies twice in theatres.
That doesn’t mean I didn’t like it though! However, this time I kept falling asleep for a few seconds before jolting up again.
And before I officially start, let me inform you on my superhero stance: My favorite hero is Thor but my favorite movie was Iron Man’s. I am a Loki fangirl, NOT of Tom Hiddleston, though he was perfect as the character. And I despise Black Widow as much as I do Wonder Woman (which is a lot.)
What I liked: I’m getting all these iron man and captain america ships on my dash but I don’t understand because I took more notice into the tony stark/bruce banner bromance going on in the film. I mean, the two drove off into the sunset together in the end! How much more bromantic can it get? But it was cute to watch. It was very funny but it’s sad I couldn’t enjoy what my dad called the funniest part of the movie because it was degrading towards Loki :/ The action scenes were obviously great. And I love their sort of hidden characters like Hawkeye in Thor and Dum Dum Dugan in Captain America so I went through the whole movie thinking the girl hanging around Furey was Spider-Woman then he said Agent Hill, bummer. But ya know, Captain America actually stole the show for me with this film. He’s such a loyal sweetheart, I love him. Love Pepper too; can’t wait for Iron Man 3!
What I Didn’t Like: Sorry but, too much Black Widow. I’m sure she had more screen time than any other hero. Srsly? It didn’t make it easier for me that she’s played by one of my top two least favorite actresses in Hollywood. And I thought her action scenes sucked, they would’ve been really cool if she didn’t make it obvious they were fake - like headbutting someone when its clear your head didn’t touch theirs feet away. I actually wish they would’ve shown more connection between her and Hawkeye since they marry from what I recall. And the heroes fighting all the time made me grouchy in my seat because I love them all and it was hard to take sides. I know its just a movie, but I’m kind of a nerd!
It’s too bad Batman’s coming out soon ‘cause everyone’s gonna compare the two even though they shouldn’t be, because this ones more for the family and will make you laugh while Nolan’s depressing.
8/10 (only because I know it could’ve been even better)
