You can keep reading negative reviews (and there are a few) to dampen your enthusiasm! Although more likely, they'll just make you annoyed.
Ha, pretty much.
I liked
Thor
more than
Captain America,
and I agree that it had an emotional hook, which surprised me. Cap's was possibly stronger and clearer, though, for sure.
Also, expect to miss some of the better lines in the movie, because the entire theatre will be laughing at a quip and then a zinger comes back that the laughter just rolls right over and you miss it.
This was an issue during
Cabin in the Woods.
Which was hyped up AND BLEW MY MIND WITH ITS AMAZINGNESS, so good.
I loved that even during all the battle scenes, it wasn't just violence for violence sake. Every fight exposed more and more of each character and who they were. Seriously, I'm going to go back and wallow in it.

I WILL MEET YOU THERE.
Once I get to the airport.
Dang.
Dana Stevens often has weird, almost idiosyncratic tastes.
I agree with her more often than not, but yeah, there are quite a few times I went, "... I'm not sure if that's the same movie I saw." Not as often as I go there with Stephanie Zacharek, who could write beautifully about something I love in a way I found moving (I still have a copy of her review of "Holiday" saved in my hard drive at home) then half the time, would make me shout "you can just stand in your wrong corner and be wrong! In your wrongness!" She writes like a fangirl, in all the good and bad ways.
I enjoyed Thor and Captain America but didn't think they were OMG AMAZING. I was pretty fannish about Iron Man though -- read fanfic, downloaded the score, the whole nine yards. The sequel was rubbish though, and I'm hoping The Avengers would make me retroactively less annoyed with that movie.
I am g-chatting with a friend about the movie, reliving all the glory. You are all wishing you were me.
t /rubbing noses in it.
currently i want to be Tom.
You are all wishing you were me.
I am in the theater.
Well, aside from your general awesomeness and curly hair, actually I wish I was Scola at the moment.
Haha! Not much curls left right now. I'm sporting an extremely streamlined do these days. The daughter got a little carried away with the razor last time.
