...which is kinda why I think you're trolling. Not that that's a crime or anything, but you clearly are baiting folks to give you positives to dismiss.

You're also granting things that I don't think I need "granted" for my complete enjoyment of the movie. I personally thought it was neither convoluted nor short on plot.

But I'm willing to take your bait and point out one of Whedon's particular strengths, in what you dismissively refer to as the "Big Transformers Battle". Unlike the fight sequences in that series, the showdown in The Avengers was not all noise and CGI motion blur. Every one of the Avengers had his/her particular way of approaching the battle, and the challenges played on their individual strengths and weaknesses. Additionally, Whedon did not fall into the cheap trick of seemingly random cutting to create a sense of chaos. Atypically, he choreographed a big fight scene in which the viewer would always know where each of the major characters were at all times. And given the scale, that's bloody difficult.

You're wrong about the movie, but that's ok.
