Saw it in the theater 5 times and on Blu numerous times.

Still love it.

Every minute, every time.

I actually really love the film. I enjoy it for being what it is and embracing it really well. It's not art and it didn't need to be. I'm fine w/ that.

Nope, still love it. Haters gotta hate, I guess.

Saw it twice in theaters and many more times than that on home video. This is one I'll be playing for years.

I heartily concur.

I watched it on BD last night, after loving it in the theater, and I realized it just doesn't hold my interest any longer. Not a bad film by any means but nothing I'm interested in seeing again anytime soon. My revised rating would be 3 out of 5 stars. I still like it a bit better than the TDKR.

The same happened with Cabin in the Woods, but it's not like I'm anti-Joss Whedon or anything. I saw Cabin in theaters once, redboxed it, and it was okay. I don't feel compelled to buy the Blu-ray of that one.

Missed it in the theater, picked up the blu-ray, both my wife and I were impressed. Gave it 4½ stars for being everything I knew it would be, hugely entertaining! Especially loved when Hulk threw Loki around like a ragdoll, smashed him into the ground repeatedly, Loki just laid there looking awed and battered. Good flick! -kd5-

I've seen it twice in theaters, once on a plane, and again on Blu-ray and I still love it. The lighter tone and action improve the rewatchability for me over something like Dark Knight.
