Speaking as a comic fan, HOLY MOTHER OF ALL GOD LET ME HAVE SWEET, SWEET BABIES with the script. There is just so much snarking and one-liners, which, it is Whedon so of fucking course. And whoever was choreagraphing the fight scenes did an amazing job. Especially any of the ones Black Widow was involved in. She was all liquid silk and soooooooo pretty to watch as she kicks the crap out of everyone. And Maria Hill was just as ridiculously awesome in every scene she was in.
I could watch a whole movie with just Black Widow, Hawkeye and Maria Hill kicking arse. While the boys play secondaries (especially Banner, who is this bundle of woobie and sarcasm).
And the big fight at the end was so good with these comedic or tragic moments to break the monotony of punch-punch-shoot-rinse-repeat. My favourite thing was how Cap and Stark didn't get to take on the big bad at the end, while everyone else kills minions. They were an actual team who went where they were needed and not where there was the opportunity for glory. It was even more amazing in the case of Stark who HATES playing nice.
The crowning thing though, is the technology. The laptops and the holo screens and I want a room just like Tony's. Every sceen was me going T_T and drooling at the tech.
