I have no problem with Black Widow. No problem at all. I think she's great. But I think the story arc in the comics between she and Hawkeye were WAY better. And while I think Scarlett J. is a super gorgeous woman (trust me, she's NOT ugly!), I don't think she fit. I look at Anne Hathaway (an actress I actually DON'T usually like!) and her Catwoman SMOKED the doors off that theater! She was incredible! The exact opposite of Scar-Jo's portrayal. Where BW has no relevance to the Avengers, Catwoman steals the show in TDKR!
With Loki, this is just a case of "in the eye of the beholder." I didn't find Tom Hiddleston the least bit menacing or interesting. He's a silly character in the movie, imho. He's just a metrosexual snob who seems to want to take over the Earth for, well, no good reason? He's a non-event and uninteresting where Tom Hardy's Bane is intriguing, Ledger's Jokers is FASCINATING, and Jeff Bridges' Obadiah is interesting, and so on and so forth. Hiddleston made me roll my eyes so much during that movie and sigh that I felt like my eyes would bug out.
Agreed on Phantom Menace. It got messy. You know why I have fond memories of that movie? My wife and were married in 1999 and that was the first movie we saw as a married couple! Young, energetic, newlyweds, sky's the limit, I was in an awesome mood about life and still see that movie through that mindset. Takes me back. But objectively speaking, it was messy. But you have to agree that Ray Park's ninja cat-like Sith lightsaber duel was one for THE AGES, bro! One for the ages! I could watch that duel a million times! That man is a marvel!
Clones had a lot of mess, too. I do like several scenes of it. The cyberpunk Blade Runneresque ripoff Couruscant stuff was interesting. I liked the Boba/Jango stuff, liked a few things. Overall the acting sucked and the last third of the movie was too visually busy and draining on the eyes...
I was shocked and surprised when you said you laughed out loud during Revenge of the Sith!? What the heck? that movie absolutely was a home run/grand slam for the prequels if you ask me. I actually enjoyed that as much as the original movies. I thought it was just ON. Hayden Christensen was off in some scenes, but overall, dang it was just incredible imho. Loved it. Still do. Totally glued the prequels to the original flicks in a tight way. Loved it.

Gxg (G²);62276363 said:Truthfully, I actually thought the plot was decent - although not every character was well developed. The Hulk seemed to be developed better than other incarnations and I just liked it for entertainment purposes - but Nick Fury held it together. His dialouges were always crisp and just cool.
Will always have love for Loki, as the actor was perfect for the role. Didn't really dig IronMan - or Thor. At times it felt a bit rushed like there was so much they wanted to get in - but Captain America was probably the most flawless one present. Black Widow - you either love her or you hate her - and reading the comics, I felt she was a good job/presentation.
The StarWars prequels needed to be done away with and are on a different level than Avengers. Hated Episode 1 with a passion - and dug parts of the Clone Wars (although I was more so into the comic series/cartoons on the matter that expanded things - very intriguing and good plots/character developments ) - and I actually cracked up a number of times in "Revenge of the Sith" alongside the audience at certain parts.
