So - Joss proves once again he can write for large ensemble casts. Everyone got their moment (or several) but the standouts for me were: Black Widow being a particularly Whedonesque sort of femme fatale; Bruce Banner as a rumpled genius professor whose laid-back manner belies the creature everyone keeps waiting to spring out; Agent *Phil* Coulson - oh, Phil, this was your finest hour.
Also liked: Loki's maniacal grin; Cap finally hearing a pop-culture reference he gets; Black Widow's interrogation technique; "You know, last time I was in Germany and a man was standing over a crowd, he and I ended up coming to a disagreement."
Stay through the credits - I mean *all* the credits.
