1. The story is lazy and predictable. Who the fuck are the Chintauri or whatever anyway? Why couldn't Loki just be the bad guy?

2. The CGI is awful. I can't believe how fake it looks. Even for Hollywood standards these effects are bad.

3. The writing is among the worst I've ever heard in recent years. The dialogue is awful, and the humor is really juvenile. I only seriously laughed once in the entire movie and that was the "Puny God" scene, which is one of the worst scenes ironically. Because …

4. Total betrayal of the Hulk character. Whoever wrote this movie doesn't understand Hulk. His entire character is that he has this incredible power that he does not want and has no control over. When he becomes the Hulk, his body becomes totally compelled by this uncontrollable rage and he will destroy anything and anyone that is unlucky enough to be in his vicinity. Mark Ruffalo really tried to get this across which I respect, but almost all of his Hulk scenes are written contrary to his character, which no actor can make the most of.

The "I'm always angry" scene marks the first time I've LITERALLY facepalmed over a movie. Hey douchebags, don't you think if he was always angry he would always be the Hulk? Him having the power to change into the Hulk whenever he wants makes his character completely uninteresting. He's just a big green guy with super strength, not a character. Plus the scenes where he punches Thor and kicks the shit out of Loki are all wrong. If Hulk started to pound Loki into the ground he would not stop until he was dead (same with Thor). I dunno what they could have done with the retarded script but I was so mad about this, seeing him working with the Avengers, jumping off of buildings and making coordinated attacks, and standing COMPLETELY STILL during a dialogue scene. What the hell were they thinking?

5. You think anybody cares about the asshole SHIELD guy Coleson (or whatever)? Giving him false depth by making him collect cards and shit does not make the audience like him anymore (unless you're an idiot). I felt nothing when he died, because he doesn't have any personality.

I have many more problems with this movie but none I care to talk about right now. I have no idea how such a sloppy piece of entertainment can be lauded to this extent. 8.4? Really? It was an entertaining film to some extent, but it was very poorly written and executed.
Your first mistake was coming into the theatre expecting a deep story.

I just wanted to see Iron man put on a new suit of armor in theatre definition. XD

Maybe concerning paid critics. I find the current user score quite accurate.

By far one of the best science fiction movies I have EVER seen! The movie is pure art! the visuals are fantastic, the soundtrack Is one of my favorites in movies... its beautiful! But people only disliked it because it is "unrealistic" at some parts (And maybe for the stupid idea of using THAT music for the trailers...). Dude. Star fucking wars has a space station the size of a MOON and its able to destroy planets whit a fucking lazer! So why the hell is that movie so darn famous?!

If you are a Sci Fi fan. Buy this movie! just do it man!

Modern Warfare 3 is bad, but I wouldn't say it's THAT bad to warrant a 2.2. Something that low would most likely indicate broken gameplay which is most likely bugged, or lacking flow at all.

I'd say a 4 or 5 might be closer to the truth. The game is boring, but at least it works (From a technical perspective ) pretty much without too much flaws.

Really? I don't think Bioshock is suffering from being underrated. It got massive praise from the majority of critics, and users alike.

I think most people here are referring to the critics' praise of the games.

You mean just the first one right? If so, I can agree with you to some extent. I was somewhat bored with that game. I really don't see how it made PC Gamer's #1 game of all time two years in a row.

Although my opinion may not be final enough since I never sat through the entire game, so I don't know if it gets better or not.
