That doesn't really answer the question. I mean, it's magic, so physics go out the window, i get that. But I find that explanation insufficient. Also, if it's magic... Could dr strange lift it with magic? I would imagine his spells are stronger than Odin's?

His hammer is a sentient AI that can manipulate gravity and make value judgments about people's character. Except it's prejudiced when it comes to other robots and always gives them preferential treatment. There you go. Magi-tech.

Magic-wise. Odin's forte isn't spells and enchantments, though he's clearly quite the powerhouse due to the odinforce. In a one on one fight, Odin wins but that's due to Odin being more than just a spellcaster. I was simply comparing the spellcasting abilities of a warrior god vs the sorcerer supreme.

You don't think of the hammer as an enchantment, just think of it as excalibur that can be pulled out of the rock by:
A dumb blond boy whose father taught him humility by making him amnesiac and putting him in the body of a cripple,
horse mouth alien... wtf
an old guy from the 40s
superman (alien)
wonderwoman (made out of earth)
and odin/bors those ancestors.
oh you also have eric masterson, some dude who really wanted to be a hero (thunderstrike, what shit)
Oh and recently in GotG, Drax can wield the canververse version of Mjolnir.

Still no. I wonder if many of you have ever read a comic book. Loki's magic has been shown to be much stronger than Dr Strange's magic. He overpowers Dr Strange almost every time. He's called Dr Strange an inferior user of magic, and that's the best the Earth has. Odin is the source of all Asgardian magic, and Loki only got a small percent of that. I believe that Dr Strange would have problems fighting lesser Asgardian sorcerers, like the Enchantress. Anyone remember when Professor X tried to read her mind, and she LOL'd? And that was the most powerful telepath on the planet.

Seems like I remember an interview or article with Stan Lee and he had commented one of the most difficult things within the Marvel now that it has grown in so many directions is to make sense of their powers from one universe to the next. He had also stated this would be one of the most difficult tasks when they began making the movies. Seems like this was right before the Avengers, he or someone in Marvel, stated that they didn't even know how they would be able to depict Thor compared to the other heroes and demonstrate to the audience that he is something more than the others. Again, going off memory, Marvel had stated they had to supply the writers with a lot of consulting and resources materials to make it work.
What I do like, is someone is growing some coconuts and taking on the tough stuff. Sure Ultron, Thanos, and others are really tough to display but someone is going for it. Not that other characters are not difficult but bring Ironman or Spiderman to life on the screen is nothing like where they are going. It would be tough to avoid plot holes and inconsistencies if you didn't have the mind of Stan Lee and possibly some others in Marvel.

I hadn't read that Fox owned Admantium. Maybe they are using Klaw, to work Vibranium into his armor.

Ultron will probably upgrade to vibranium (instead of adamantium). We see that cap's shield is cracked, so maybe they travel to Wakanda to fix it/get some metals and end the movie with black panther intro. His shield in the MCU isn't some "special forumla" of vibranium and other stuff (which is why it's so original) it was just made out of the only amount of Vibranium that Howard Stark had.

I'm not aware that they can't mention adamantium either. I don't think that's in any way an X-men specific material. Unless it was written into the contract, I doubt Fox could make the argument.
One thing I realized just recently is why Ultron looks so fucking menacing in that trailer. It's because he has an expressive face, including fucking emotive eyebrows! If he had been an expressionless mask like the comics, he wouldn't have been anywhere near as scary looking. Once again, a little thing that Marvel does that just makes everything that much better.

Doesn't seem too hard IMO. Of the current Avengers there's a pretty clear ranking of power with Thor and Hulk squarely on top in terms of raw power. Ironman is somewhere in the middle and Captain, Hawkeye and Black Widow being on the bottom. But the nature of the enemies they face means that they can all contribute evenly. The front half of the movies just need to show the less powered characters doing all the heavy lifting while Thor and Banner just kind of hang out and Stark gets drunk and drops one liners, then when shit hits the fan and it's time for explosions Thor, Hulk and Stark shine.
Obviously when there's an Ironman comic, Ironman is shown to be stupid OP, and when it's Thor's turn he wrecks face.

There's a few instances in the movies so far where they've severely underrated someone's power (http://marvel.com/universe/Destroyer_(construct)) but I think it's been fine.

Well, cap is higher than "on the bottom" unless you're talking strictly raw power. But even then it's a little vague. But there's a reason why every marvel character respects cap. His leadership abilities are literally unparalleled.
But this gets into batman preparedness levels... So I digress.
