Finally got to see it myself recently. I agree that the introduction was a bit slow, at least until Loki showed up. Things started picking up with his appearance. Going back to the first page of the topic, I think I would have preferred Norton to Ruffalo. Ruffalo did a decent job, but I never really got the sense that he was showing much emotion. For playing Bruce Banner, relating emotion - especially a growing frustration or anger - is a pretty crucial trait. The Hulk bits were better than the Banner bits, for the most part.
And I do miss Thor's helmet, too. I can understand why it isn't in these films much, but I wish that were not the case.
I was also sad to see the death of Coulson. Even though it was very important to the story, I had grown rather fond of that character. He's been in so many of these movies. But, I hear there's a good chance that he'll return at some point in the future.
All in all, it was a great team movie. I'm looking forward to the next batch.
