Oneliners in the context of a movie has very little to do with what a Mitch Hedberg did or what a Jimmy Carr or aStewart Francisdo. Oneliners in stand-up are like the haiku of jokes, something self-contained and condensed to the extreme. In the movies, it's breaking the tone of a situation with a single line to provoke a cheap chuckle. That requires timing and delivery talent from the actor, but not much from the writer and the director. You can effectively write a whole script and then, after the fact, add a comic relief character that will walk along the main characters and only deliver one liners without ever interacting with anyone or anything.

Or you could go even further and write a movie entirely out of one-liners, like The Last Boy Scout. It's pretty remarkable.

And this movie is a good example of why Marvel is going to win the Cinema Wars with DC.

It was fun and it kept to the spirit of the character.

Better than the first, imo. Go see it.

Was pretty good, the whole humans made a strangely needed device for some strange reason that helped beat the bad guys was a little deus ex for my tastes... but an enjoyable flick. I like Loki tbh. Dark Elf guy looked like Solusek Ro.

Go see it.

You do know this was based on a comic book, right?

DEM is the go-to plot advancer.

I read a review just now that amounted to the guy complaining why only one hero shows up every time for these world shattering events.

He has a point, but you have to suspend some disbelief with films that are high fantasy. Just enjoy the ride

At first I thought the same thing. However then you have to realize the time frame involved with the portions on earth. It was about 10 minutes that earth even had the DE's and their ship on it. And it was in London, putting the rest of the Avengers way out of the way to help in a time. Unlike IM3 which was days.

Over all I think it was a real good Marvel movie. Very true to the powers and abilities of the Dark Elves as I remember them from the comics in the 90's. Was a much funnier movie than I was expecting. Loki stole every scene he was in IMO. Even Eric was a much better character in this one.

It is a great starting lead in to Avengers 2, with how it ended in the two credits scenes.

Felt like the scientists fit a lot better overall in this one, felt stupid and forced in the first by comparison and are why I haven't re watched it as often as the other marvel movies.
