FIRST IMPRESSIONS
Speaking as someone who was pretty disappointed in the second wave of Marvel movies, I think this is, hands down, the best Marvel movie since Avengers 1. It's a concentrated blast of pure fun and doesn't aspire to be anything more than that. It's still the same wonderful characters being themselves and bantering brilliantly, and there are too many awesome moments to count – especially during the climax, where I wanted to go, "YEAH!" several times. Plus, it was such a breath of fresh air to see a superhero movie acknowledge the danger to civilians and the need to get them out of harm's way; the Hulkbuster fight wasn't just a fantastic concept, but that whole scene came across as one big statement of, "Take that, Man of Steel!" To sum it up, I thoroughly enjoyed this movie. Is it as good as Avengers 1? No, but I didn't expect it to be. Again, though, I do think it's the best Marvel movie since that masterpiece, and easily one of my favourite movies of the year so far.
