Just saw it, and wow, my doubts about Whedon working on this are laid to rest. It was pretty amazing.
Natasha and Clint *could* have come across as completely out of their depth, on a team with Iron Man, Thor and the Hulk, but instead really got to shine. Black Widow's spycraft is awesome to see.
The movie was filled with fun lines, without descending into slapstick. The Hulk was surprisingly funny, at times.

An amazing film... at one point, I thought to myself, "They really pulled it off"... really made me long for a Justice League film...

The helicarrier taking off was, for me, the geektech moment that the various Transformers movies failed to ever deliver. Cap handing Fury $10 after was funny, as well.

I really liked it too. (being a DC fan, I can't say I loved it ) For me, I did not pick up any plot holes while watching it and there were no times where a character did something only because the plot demanded it. I would definitely recommend seeing this on the big screen.
I really loved Click Here For A SpoilerNatasha's interrogation scenes. I am glad about how they used Black Widow when she easily could have been just the token female.
I am already thinking of seeing it on the big screen one more time.

Click Here For A Spoiler...Hulk creamed Loki and said, "Puny god." I hope Hulk has more lines in the sequel.
Oh, thanks! Everybody in the theatre was laughing too loud after the 'gorilla tests tourister luggage' scene to make out what Hulk said!
Marvel has really set the bar unrealistically high for DC, for when they get around to making a Justice League movie...

I saw it with my son today, we both really liked it a lot! It wasn't terribly deep but it was really fun all things considered.

Saw it with the kids today and LOVED it! Hell, if Marvel's Avengers (and most other) comics were this fun, I'd be buyin' the HELL outta them!
It's probably the best of all the comic book movie crop at bringing out what is unique about superhero action. It was unreal seeing all those iconic movie characters in one film! The subtle moment after Cap breaks up the Thor/Iron Man fight with the Avengers' Big Three standing in the same frame was a "wow" moment for a classic Avengers fan like myself.
At first blush, I'd still rank it behind Spider-man 2, the Nolan Batman films and possibly the original Superman, but it was a tremendous success for me. Loved how all the Avengers had their share of moments and how Joss Whedon injected his trademark humor to keep things lively.
And, oh yeah, Hulk stole the movie!

I think it is pretty kid friendly. There is a lot of rampaging destruction where if it were real there would be lots of dead people. From what I remember there is only one on-screen death and one scene Click Here For A Spoiler where a guy gets stabbed in the face around his eye. Although you don't actually see the actual penetration part of the stabbing As far a sex goes, there is an inital scene with Black Widow where there is an element of sex. But I would say it was on par with the scene in Superman II where you see Lois & Clark in bed.

I hardly ever go see big blockbuster movies on opening weekend, but decided to make an exception for this. I went to the 10:00 a.m matinee, saw it in 3D, and bought an $8.00 Sprite and some Raisinettes. It was a quite the event. It's playing back to back on four screens at the local multiplex. All the shows seem to be selling out or close to it. Lots of people lined up in Marvel tee-shirts, and I saw a few kids toting along Captain America shields and Mighty Thor hammers.
The movie itself was a lot of fun. The casting is just great all around. The effects were top notch. The movie had humor and heart.

Took Carol and Sam to see it. I'd give it a solid b. A bit ... soulless.... at times, but then again, it was much better than I thought it would be. The trademark "Hero's fight, then team up" was there, but thats where I got the soulless from. Just didn't get that the "connection" that pulled them together for real was that important to them in their life, ya know.
Entertaining, and I'll buy the video, but I wouldn't go back to the theatre for it.
