I have never been impressed with any of these under qualified so called "critics".

THE best critics are those REAL movie goers that go to these movies because they are what these people are passion about this type of entertainment. Not because they are paid to give an opinion on something they really would rather not be witnessing.

My advice to these paid critics is "find a job they really like".

It's just a critic who has an axe to grind with Michael Bay (Battleship is facing the same critcisms) and she also has no clue about comics or else she would know that robots, aliens and large scale Manhattan battle scenes have been staples in Avengers loooong before 'Transformers' and Bay, and to attack the movie because it features them is ridiculous. She can dislike the movie but to score it rotten based upon a general distaste of another director who has absolutely no affiliation with the movie is irresponsible.

Most of her reviews are so ridiculous. Many of her rotten reviews were on fresh movies while the rotten movies consisted of fresh reviews from her.

damn. i just saw the bloody movie, and this reviewer is correct. this movie doesn't leave u deflated, but you're not pumped either. there were long stretches of dialogue/argument that went nowhere except to slow the momentum of the film. With the kind of reviews the movie got, i expected a 'wholesome' quality script, the GOLD standard of comic book movies. it is NOT. With less emotional impact and characterization of Iron Man, and less substance in it's storytelling than the Dark Knight, this Avengers movie is merely passable. A slam bang ending and a few laughs in between does not automatically make a movie great, and the end finale is full of CGi but nothing we haven't seen before in some Micheal bay movie. Wheadon turned out to be mortal after all. The overwhelming criticism of this negative review shows that low standards are now, the norm.

ps- and Sam Jackson, wtf? he did nothing to advance his role or give weight to the 'world ending' situation. He could have been the token black guy, except that he lived.

Apparently, ANY movie utilizing special effects in combination with a city is automatically a Transformers knockoff... Seriously Amy, if you can't come up with more original/meaningful reviews than this, then quite writing them.

Good thing you work for a magazine that noone's heard of, or else your opinion might matter.

Prime reason I don't pay attention to critic, I hope this dummy doesn't get paid for this.

What is this thing with the negative reviews comparing this movie with the transformers? That's lazy and obviously I hate to say it, but like the other critics who pan the movie are bias against comicbooks and don't take the movie for what it is, a fun movie. It is not an academy award movie, but it is what this movie is suppose to be: entertaining.

You are right except the acting, story and script are way better. Idiot.

The end does play out almost exactly like Transformers 3, though. It even has an alien cube with unlimited power.

Also, a plot mistake or I missed something, but why didn't Iron Man, as smart as he's supposed to be, just take a piece out of that building to move that certain device and avoid the whole disaster?

I think the device was so powerful, even if he knocked it off the building, the enrgey would break through even if it were buried under Stark tower. Also, that would be incredibly dangerous. As Agent Hill said, if the tessearct blew up, there could be no minimum safe distance.

Bitching about the lack of originality in something going out of Hollywood... how original.

I am really starting to get a sense you are more of an archie girl growing up. read the comics then make your attempt at a valid argument, not the other way around. BTW, suggest that you watch battleship when it comes out, oh, wait, that is more like transformers seeing they actually transform, vs, aliens in suits of armor??

Funny. Doesn't hold up to "logic" or "analysis," but still funny.
