I wouldn't say amazing but it was very enjoyable. First movie in some time that seemed worth paying the premium to see in a theater. Combined with the excellent trailers, this seem to be kicking off a promising movie season.
As for staying for after the end credits, thanks for the tip however, I was disappointed. There a far better choices than
Samuel Jackson
to play
Nick Fury
. First, it seems like a gimmick to make the character
black
. I did enjoy
Michael Duncan
as the
Kingpin
but that actor really seemed to portray the characteristics of the character better than anybody else could.
Jackson
just in no way seemed to portray the characteristics of
Fury
.
I also don't like the idea of an
Avenger
movie. At least not yet. A
team
movie with the traditional
Avenger
characters doesn't seem right. Even in the comics the
Avengers
were made up of characters that already had well established story lines unlike the
X-Men
that were generally unknown or non-existent prior to their
X-Men
debut.
