Movie: The Avengers
Basic Plot: A rage monster, demi-god, super-armored drunk, huge muscled captain, arrow-shooting guy, and a hot chick in tight leather fight another demi-god and his army of aliens in order to save the planet. Also, this movie has the funniest scene in any comic book based movie ever. Without giving anything away (and to those who have seen it), it involves The Hulk and Loki.
(If you haven't seen this movie, then SPOILER ALERT!!!!)
I'm Okay With: The fact that some chick (Black Widow) and a dude (Hawkeye) with no discernible special abilities, and Captain America to a certain extent, being of any use in a fight against aliens and their superior technology and flying thingys. The fact that The Hulk gets mad and turns into the giant green rage monster for absolutely no reason while the whole team is on that flying good guy aircraft carrier like thing. The fact that basically six people (three of which were worthless) held off an army of hundreds, if not thousands, of aliens and a bunch of their armored flying worm monsters. The fact that those armored flying worm monsters could fly despite not having any sort of way to stay in the air nor were they able to propel themselves forward. The fact that it took Hawkeye a blow to the head, detox drugs, and many hours to get over Loki's spell, but it only took Bootstrap Bill (that doctor guy who was also in the Thor movie and played Bootstrap Bill in the PotC movies) a slight bonk to the melon to come out of the same spell.
I'm Not Okay With: The fact that Thor was able to show up on Earth at all in this movie. If you saw the Thor movie (and I don't blame you if you didn't), then you know that at the end of the movie, the magic portal in Asgard that allows Thor to travel between worlds is destroyed and Thor can no longer go visit Natalie Portman's fine ass. So, if that portal is destroyed and Thor has no way of traveling to Earth, then how in the hell did he conveniently show up on Earth in order to help stop his brother's evil plan to destroy our planet? It's true that Loki was able to come to Earth, but he used that magic cube thingy. But Thor didn't because at that point of the movie, the magic cube was in the possession of the bad guys. So, how did Thor get there? I feel like they could have had at least one simple sentence from Thor explaining that he flew the whole way or found a wormhole or used a magic wardrobe or something, but no, he didn't and we will never know how exactly he was able to find a loophole in his previous movie's plot (and since he was on Earth, why didn't he go visit Natalie Portman's fine ass?) I am not okay with that.
