Captain Canuck
The poster formerly known as captaincanuck65
So I just got back from seeing it. I really liked it a lot. I read a lot of complaints online about how the first hour is slow and how the villain is underdeveloped and his motivations unclear, and how the humour didn't mesh well with the darker themes. I didn't think any of that was a problem. The villain was sort of two-dimensional in his motivation and characterization, but I didn't mind at all. The only bit of humour I could have done without was Dr Selvig running around naked and/or in his underwear - that just felt a little too much. But everything else was great. And of course Loki was the best part. I'm really interested to see where his story goes after the way the movie ended.
I also really liked the mid-credits scene with the Collector. Benicio Del Toro played him really bizarrely. That's not a complaint.
And I geeked out over the Adam Warlock cocoon.
Bring on Cap and the Guardians!
EDIT: Oh, and the Cap cameo completely caught me off guard and made me laugh. AND, the one thing that I guess could be a complaint if I cared is that Malekith was basically Nero from the first rebook Star Trek. Foe from another time that is sleeping in a monstrous ship until the right time. Wants revenge and to destroy everything with a powerful red liquid...
