So I'm not a huge comic book fan, but I grew up watching and enjoying every TV show and movie based on comic book characters.
I will need to see it a couple more times, but my immediate reaction walking out of the theater is that that was the best superhero movie I've ever seen. I really, REALLY enjoyed it. Really good plot, character interaction, action scenes and the writing was fantastic. I probably had more laugh out loud moments in that movie than any other movie that wasn't a comedy. Just a really FUN movie.
The buildup to The Avengers was long, but oh-so-worth it. They met and even exceeded the high expectations.
Thor 2 - 2013 - with all main characters (including the delicious Natalie Portman) back. Anthony Hopkins is also back as Odin. Filming begins in 3 months. Loki will be in it but reportedly won't be the main villain.
Ironman 3 - 2013 (filming begins in 5 weeks)
Captain America 2 - currently scheduled to be released 2014
Hulk -- nothing specific in the works for Hulk 2, but the actor who played the Hulk has a 6 movie deal to play the character
Good stuff!
