I think Americans are smarter than that …

Saw The Avengers tonight with the lovely pushdragon, and we enjoyed it very much. The script was a thing of joy :-)

But I have a quibble, that isn't worth a spoiler cut because every American super/monster movie made since 1930 has had a fight scene in New York, so of course this one does, too.

And I do not believe that in this day and age, when New Yorkers see things exploding in the sky, their response would be to stand there and gape. Rick Rescorla had a bigger impact than that, oh film-makers!

This, and one other thing, and a few pacing issues aside – it's terrific!

Mark Rufalo's Banner was a thing of wonder...except how much he reminds me of Vincent D'Onofrio in Law & Order. I'd like to see Ruffalo do a Banner/Hulk film.

Happily, I've never seen L&O :-) I find him a surprisingly convincing actor, even in terrible films like the one with Reese Witherspoon, which has a dreadful plot/script but great acting.

More films would be a fine thing!!
