I hope he's locked up for the long haul because we don't need any more changes. Look, I was missing Ed Norton as much as anyone on that hype train I talked about but I'm so happy to say that Mark Ruffalo won me over. The pathos is there but so are the timing and true deep performances.
You needed more than just action actors or stunt doubles to play all these parts. Again, more than I ever dreamed possible. They are all thrown together in a wonderful and, best of all, believable fashion. Then there's the Widow, Hawkeye and Captain America who are used to following orders and playing within a command structure. Stark, Thor and Banner all work "the other side of the fence" so to speak. They have egos and the big guns aren't used to working with other people or even playing by the rules. That is great because so many of these characters are larger than life. It's not a two dimensional "team wonderful that bands together to fight crime ho ho ho." Most don't like each other at fist and there is so much texture to be played. One of the MANY things I loved was the tension and flat out conflict that arises between team members. It has every little nuance of what a fanboy wants to see. It's exceptional entertainment for the uninitiated but it has everything a fanboy could want to be sure. It's amazing work and everything I had hoped for and more. The only word I can think of to describe this movie is AWESOME. I'm so happy to report just the opposite has happened. So, I was certainly open to intense disappointment had this movie not been good. That said, I was jacked to see this movie and was fully aboard the hype train. I usually avoid the hype train whenever possible. I purposefully avoid hyping myself for movies because when expectations are too high, nothing seems to be able to reach them. It's almost impossible to convey how pumped I am now that I've seen it. I have got to tell anyone who will listen that this is one of THE best adventure movies I've ever seen.
