As the Avengers and their allies have continued to protect the world from threats too large for any one hero to handle, a new danger has emerged from the cosmic shadows: Thanos.

Everything the Avengers have fought for has led up to this moment, the fate of Earth and existence has never been more uncertain.

Trivia

The new Iron Man suit is based on Bleeding Edge, and later, Model-Prime armors from the comic books, both of which which used nanotechnology to create a suit which is linked to Stark, and can also create weapons for him to use, such as a bigger gun, and stored away when not in use, which, for the movie, is inside Stark's new arc reactor on his chest as seen when he taps it with his hand.

Goofs

(at around 29 mins) When Quill claims he has muscles, he gestures at his chest with both hands. It then cuts to a closer shot of Rocket standing next to him, and it can be seen that his left arm is hanging at his side.

Quotes

[first lines]
Asgardian Distress Call: This is the Asgardian refugee vessel Statesman. We are under assault. I repeat, we are under assault. The engines are dead, life support failing. Requesting aid from any vessel within range. We are 22 jump points out of Asgard. Our crew is made up of Asgardian families. We have very few soldiers here. This is not a warcraft. I repeat, this is not a warcraft!

User Reviews

Excellent Film

I was amazed to see so many negative reviews; so many people are impossible to please. This movie was 2 1/2 hours long, but I could have sat there another 2 1/2 hours and not noticed. Thoroughly entertaining, and I love how the directors weren't afraid to take chances. I've read a lot of other user reviews that claim that there's no plot. Unless you're mentally handicapped or not paying attention because you're on your phone the entire movie, the plot is pretty clear, and decent in my opinion.
