My friends, without going into spoilers: The Avengers is a LOT of fun + Joss Whedon has not lost his touch with dialogue + NONE of the actors phoned it in (and the team dynamic was nicely balanced, IMO) = go see it, go see it soon. Also, be aware, the 3-D was more annoying than usual, especially in the action scenes (though it did allow for some cool camera work) and (at least in the US) there is a bonus cut scene at the very end of the credits, as well as the one in the middle of the credits. So don't get up early.
