Saw this in 3D, and I felt the 3D was used to good effect. Great mindless action, excellent villain, just a real popcorn film. Or perhaps shwarma? But who was the new enemy briefly glimpsed at the end? Not sure this was the right vehicle for ScarJo, but she has bills too.

I'd give it all up, for just a little bit more.

I'm ashamed to know that the Mystery Villain is an alien invader type named Thanos, who is obsessed with death (or maybe just missing syllables).

I'm ashamed to have thought that this signaled the return of Mrs. Peel.

That Thor fellow looks a right tasty treat, too.

“One thing kids like is to be tricked. For instance, I was going to take my little nephew to Disneyland, but instead I drove him to an old burned-out warehouse. 'Oh, no!', I said, 'Disneyland burned down.' He cried and cried, but I think that deep down he thought it was a pretty good joke. I started to drive over to the real Disneyland, but it was getting pretty late.”

Thanos isn't obsessed with death, he's in *love* with Death. I'm not too ashamed to know this as the Thanos arcs were some of my bread-and-butter as a teen.

Big and powerful, yet strangely naive.

The real Emma didn't need all that firepower.

The firepower is kind of funny, since it's directed at Giant Alien Robots who can't possibly be hurt by it.

Maybe better than arrows, though.
