Yesss. *pumps fist* Someone agrees. Probably the most likeable character is the Hulk, in both his human and CGI form.

The first time I gave up after the bit where Johannson's character says: 'Loki, you're surrounded! Drop the sword of power!' or something similar, without a trace of irony. Made me physically wince.

Moments like that are pretty cartoonish. And in a nutshell why I prefer the darker stuff. Speaking of cartoons - Cartman as BANE is brill

...with the Dark Knight, even though its no less self-important (no criticism) than Rises, it's woven together well enough that there's a mounting tension in the storyline. Rises just doesn't tie things together plausibly--which would be fine except that its pushing its own sense of realism, which means its more noticeable when it doesn't reach its own standards.

Fair point, no argument to offer.

I would say TDKR is better than Avengers Assemble, but only because I like that kind of film more. AA is fun, but not nearly as memorable or cool.

That's what I was trying to say, but in a lot of words. FF thinks AA is better, I prefer TDKR - but it's not which is better really, it's just which type of film you prefer. TDK despite its flaws and its pointless last half an hour is probably a more cohesive film. But it would feel empty without The Joker who brings all of its sparkle.
I love the sideways wheels on the Bat bike. Makes me grin like a kid.
