So are all you guys comic book fans? I genuinely loathe anti-mainstream or hipster behaviour, but honestly I don't get the near unanimous (on this board, at least) praise this movie has been getting. I thought the writing was so cheesy and corny, I felt like paying Whedon a visit and punch him in the face several times during the movie.
I mean stuff like Black Widow's "put me on hold", Captain America's "I got that reference" or Agent Coulson's "so that's what it does"; nobody actually likes this stuff, right?
The action scenes were great and overall I did like the movie, but it doesn't come anywhere near a lot of other superhero movies for me, like Watchmen or Nolan's Batmans.

yeah, this movie got near unanimous praise from the critics and your average moviegoer, too
