It lacked the excitement of most other Marvel movies, with mediocre acting from even the biggest stars. I loved the multi-racial cast and the openly gay super-hero (and kudos to Marvel for not censoring to appease the homophobes and for Angelina for speaking out), but overall, the plot was boring, if not predictable and the cast didn't have the same energy of that of the Avengers or other similar movies. I'm definitely not looking forward to the sequel(s).
