Just saw this.

Uh, very good. A+. Would do business with again.

Would've preferred if it had entirely avoided the standard Marvel Cinematic Universe trappings, but I guess that is just part of the contract. The fact that it was able to do so for 95% of the runtime made the few little bits that were a bit hackneyed or for the sake of the larger franchise stand out a bit more... Could've done without the love story... The midichlorians-esque justification with the Infinity Stone near the end was particularly blah. Kind of killed the vibe. Overall, though, I felt like it was on par with Iron Man 3 in being a significant step above everything else Marvel has put out.

Was not a fan of The Avengers.
