Ratings and reviews

Let me start by saying I really enjoyed this movie. It rates up there as one that I 1. saw in theaters and 2. really wanted to buy when it came out. Here is where my review kinda goes away from being a critic of the movie to a critic of...well...some fellow keyboard critics. I was disturbed to read a review that said this movie was 'unrealistic'...really now. A movie about super heroes is unrealistic. I am pretty sure this movie falls into the fantasy category under the subheading of comic book universe logic. That's about as unrealistic as it gets. This movie is great because it lets us get away from that job we hate or the argument with our significant other. It lets us, for a couple hours, live in another plane of existence where all the things we were taught we impossible are possible. The unrealistic is the best aspect of all movies. if they realistic we would never go see them unless we liked documentaries about what we do everyday. The fantasy involved is this movie's greatest spectacle. It is the thing that keeps us in the seats and buying it. So yes, it is unrealistic, but if you expected realism you really should try another genre, Mr Warhol.

I don't hate the movie I loved it I gave it one star because it's false advertising. It says that we have three days for rentals. For every single movie from iron man to the avengers. I have only gotten two days for them. And while Google has given me a refund for all movies except this time mostly because i won't ask. I'm tired of calling them and going through the same process. So either fix the hours for the rentals or talk with Google to extend the hours for rentals. Either way do something. I'm sick of this. I hate watching a movie half way and then it just stops because it says the rentals have expired,but shows i have 24 hours left

This movie was superb. While its alittle more on the comic book side of super hero movies, they couldn't have done a better representation of the marvel universe. The fight scenes, plot, and special effects are fantastic. Robert downy jr killed it as iron man. My only gripe is there should have been more hawkeye. A+,5stars
