oh whiskers!

Tom Hiddleston fans are weird so I want to distance myself from them while also acknowledging that he’s a really good actor and was great in The Avengers.

The best scenes are when he’s playing mind games with each of the Avengers and it’s all leading to Bruce Banner turning into the Hulk and everyone turning on one another. Black Widow is interesting and Scarlett Johannson does a pretty amazing job considering she wasn’t given the benefit of a whole film to establish her character like the others. I liked her scenes with Loki and Bruce Banner.

So I enjoyed the movie a lot. Joss Whedon’s writing and direction is smart and sharp and even when things get really crazy and loud, he manages to be in control. I give it 4 out of 5 butts. There were a couple of jokes/lines that didn’t work for me though. One was “There’s only one god ma’am! And I’m pretty sure he doesn’t dress like that!” Yeah whatever. The other one might be a spoiler, but it’s just a homophobic joke for a cheap laugh towards the end.

Also, how does no one what a shawarma is? It’s the greatest food in the world and I didn’t need this movie to tell me that.
