Personally it's not a big deal but I wonder what was the business/marketing purpose of releasing the Avengers internationally before releasing it in the US?

Superhero stories will always be popular as long as they are well written and made.

People have an innate desire to see superhuman feats because we are all made by a Supreme Being who is all-powerful. We all know innately that we will have access to these powers at some point in our timeline.

The upside of the early overseas release is that the film is already available online. I've watched it twice already. I thought they did a good job of giving each of the heroes some time to show character. The action scenes were well done and the final battle left me wanting more team action!

I watched it today and I can honestly say this is one of the best superhero movies I've ever seen ( such as batman dark knight, iron man and blade) I also thought at one point this is like watching a comic, I think they gave al the main cast plenty of screen time instead of focusing on a couple of people.

Piracy issue aside, why watch a low res, small crappy version instead of seeing everything for the
first time in the big screen.

Very stupid if you ask me.
