Must resist buying ticket...aw! Who am I kidding.
Guess I should begin lowering my expectations for this movie right now.

Mixed feelings about this. Whedon can direct hand to hand and space opera action, but he's untested as to the widescreen action this requires. Cautiously optimistic.
Trying to think of another comic book movie that has been directed by someone with both experience directing feature films and writing comics for one of the Big Two. Don't think there is one.
I don't know if that's necessarily a good thing, of course, but it does mean the bar might be higher than it would be otherwise....

I think it's a good thing. He actually understands how comic books work and what fans expect of them. Of course, I am a Joss fan which makes me more optimistic than others, but... we'll see.
Sigh... that sucks.
See? We CAN agree on some things! :-D
In other news, BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!! Whedon go home!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yeah, yeah, I understand all of the man's "credentials" and all, but I forsee terrible things. I don't know if the man is capable of checking his ego at the door and proceeding to make an Avengers movie.
I highly expect his ego to run wild and for him to destroy what could have been a good movie, as he turns it from an Avengers flick into "yet another horribly vain tribute to Joss Whedon's brilliance, brought to you by Joss Whedon" by proceeding to "Whedonize" the Avengers universe.

Which would mean what, exactly?

The thing that gives me hope for this is his Astonishing X-Men run. His Wolverine felt more in-character than he had in years.
