Pretty made for TV, but it could have been worse. It could have had Samuel L Jackson hopping out of a crashing helicopter like it was the lowest rung of the ladder to a playground slide.

Yeah, I kind of don't understand the hype and good reviews this movie got. It seemed like standard comic book fare to me. The characters were paper thin. The acting was just terrible. Scarlett Johansson was especially bad and Samuel L. Jackson was cringe worthy. The action sequences were pretty top-notch, but seemed a little jumbled in places. I must admit that I'm not a big comic book or action movie fan, but that hasn't stopped me from enjoying the hell out of The Dark Knight series and the first two X-Men films.

You couldn't even survive in carbonite, I bet.

Scored a Blu-Ray copy of this last week. Damn, this is a fun movie.
how are the extras? i ve seen the intro and some captain america footage, they were pretty nice.
They're OK. I have the Australia / New Zealand version, not sure if they're the same extras that will appear in the American version. Some deleted scenes, a fun (but short) gag reel, short featurette. No audio commentary or 90-minute "Building a Cinematic Universe" thing, unfortunately.

So, I finally saw this.
Who was the bad guy at the end in the credits?
Also, so now that Marvel has their Spiderman franchise back and Wolverine is getting his own movies, are they going to join the team in the Avengers Sequel?
