Re: Which Avengers Prequel is Your Favorite ?
Only seen two of them so far, Iron Man & Incredible Hulk. Iron Man was above average and IH... let's see. I don't know which is the worse insult... the fact that Hulk (Lee's) is memorable for being so shitty or Incredible Hulk being completely forgettable.

I voted for Iron Man but I liked them all a lot. Good fun. And I even loved the shoe-horning of the Avengers in them. I never thought I'd see big budget movies on these, especially The Avengers. Can't wait!

Part of me really dislikes referring to these movie as "Avengers prequels." They're all solid movies in their own right. Yes, even Iron Man 2.
I'd probably rank them as:
Captain America
Iron Man 2
Thor
The Incredible Hulk
Iron Man
I think all of them are good, but Iron Man has a weak first and third act. The second act is better than anything in Iron Man 2, but a second act does not a great movie make.

Iron Man 2 is a bad sequel that broke the trend of great superhero movies getting better sequels. It did not feel much like a superhero movie than a bad summer flick.

Even though there's a lot of hate for Iron Man 2, I love it. I need to re-watch Thor and Captain America. I haven't seen them since last year. So for now IM2.

Captain America
Iron Man - It's probably the better movie, but I prefer Cap.
The Incredible Hulk
Thor
Iron Man 2 - The only one in this group that I didn't like at all.

Regal Cinemas is having a movie marathon day. $35 and every movie is played back to back until the midnight showing of Avengers. All you need is a steel ass and a bladder the size of a swimming pool. Maybe if they brought in an elyptical or something? That is a whole lot of movie watching.

I just did a marathon over the past two weekends of the lead-in movies and left out that one and haven't seen it all the way through since the theater. Since they changed actors, it won't really gel as well into the mix. Also, of all the characters, Hulk doesn't really need much of an explanation. Hulk smash!

Re: Which Avengers Prequel is Your Favorite ?
I'm sorta surprised a lot of people seem to dislike The Incredible Hulk so much. I didn't think it was that bad really. It just isn't as memorable as the others to me but I liked it overall. Much better than the Ang Lee shitfest. I think that if some of the scenes from Norton's version were left in the film it may have been slightly better.

FWIW, I didn't find Iron Man 2 to be bad, just disappointing compared to the first one. My gripe, as I have said other times, was that it seemed more interested in laying Avengers groundwork than telling an Iron Man story.

I thought Captain America sucked. I didn't even watch Iron Man 2. I liked Iron Man, but not enough to sit through a sequel. Hulk was decent. I voted for Thor. I really enjoyed that one.
I'm not a fan of superhero movies. I think there are way too many of them and I hope there aren't as many in the future. Hopefully The Avengers and the inevitable Avengers 2 signal the end of the trend. However, I really enjoyed Thor...I thought I would hate it, but I thought it was very good. The big dude was great and I always like Natalie Portman.

Funny. I think we had way too many fucking westerns in the same amount of years we've had superheroes since Blade to now. The number is still too low to be too many. They're just bigger than the westerns.
Also...Thor is so unbalanced. I FUCKING LOVE the Asgard moments. Midgard was weak as fuck and generic for the most part. Very little of great quality in it. Asgard is where it's at.

Captain America
Iron Man
The Incredible Hulk
Iron Man 2
Thor
After Captain America ended, I wanted more. Or maybe it was because after the lifeless Thor, I was worried for it. Glad I worried for nothing.

I remember reading that Chris Evans signed a 6 picture deal for 3 Captain America flicks and 3 Avengers flicks. Those plus Iron Man 3 which is already on development, and the rumored Thor 2 means we have awhile before the trend is over.

Plus we have Spider-Man, TDKR, Superman, inevitable Batman reboot, and sequels to the other two, and probably more Marvel properties, more X-Men, etc.
