I watched it last night for the first time on Blu-Ray. Maybe I was in the wrong mood.
The dialog, to me, was weak and unconvincing. I thought that Loki was a bad choice and overall, the film felt clunky. The weird camera angles they used at times made no sense, Cobie Smulders was wasted and stiff and outside of Ruffalo and Downey, the actors were boring. I expected more of an Iron Man 1 or Dark Knight type of movie. Instead, it was like a Michael Bay film but instead of Transformers, the Avengers. I'll watch it again, if for no other reason that I bought it on Blu Ray with the digital copy, music CD, etc. but it was extremely disappointing to me. |

My guess would be that's Whedon's preference. Each director is different; Kubrick hated widescreen, for instance.

IIRC that was forced on Joss Whedon by Disney. They seem to like the Flat format, as it translates better to home video. Apparently, Disney thinks all their customers are poor and own tube TVs. Worked out for me, though, as Flat looks better than Scope on my IMAX Digital so "Avengers" was actually smaller than normal on the "35mm" side of the building but bigger than normal on the IMAX screen.

I thought Loki was well done as well. They managed to show his evil conniving side, while still leaving a little room for a bit of conscience. They showed a tiny bit of internal struggle with Loki, and I thought it worked.
