IPW, I don't know if you're just trying to nitpick now, but what's not to understand about the holding cell? The whole reason it was designed to drop was because they knew it coldn't hold the hulk. If anybody tries to break out, you drop them. Thor did try to break out at first, but stopped when Loki threatened to drop him. Once Loki dropped him anyway, he went all-out.

The rest of your criticisms... they're like questioning the science in Star Wars. If you're going to enjoy a comic book movie, you need to open your mind to comic book rules. Like Thor being on par with Ironman and Cap in one scene and Hulk in a later one. Or Loki underestimating Black Widow. Or a massive alien attack fleet not securing their access point. Just let it happen man.

IPW, I don't know if you're just trying to nitpick now, but what's not to understand about the holding cell? The whole reason it was designed to drop was because they knew it couldn't hold the hulk. If anybody tries to break out, you drop them. Thor did try to break out at first, but stopped when Loki threatened to drop him. Once Loki dropped him anyway, he went all-out.

S.H.I.E.L.D. and Nick Fury constructed a cell that they thought could hold the Hulk. I think the fail safe was to drop it in case anything went wrong, but they had to at least think it would hold him, or why else spend the time, resources, and money to build it? An organization such as that would most likely have done their homework first before constructing it.

I'm just saying that it seems like a bad idea to capture the Hulk, and hold him inside a cell that is on a ship 30,000 feet above the ground. Nothing can go right in that scenario, so I don't know why they even went ahead with it?

And Loki intended to drop Thor from the get-go. After Loki tricks Thor into holding cell, Thor hits the glass with his hammer trying to break out, and causes the glass to break a bit. Loki then says that the humans think they are immortal, and perhaps he should test that theory. He was going to drop him right then and there, but was interrupted when Agent Coulson steps in with a prototype gun, and threatens to shoot him with it, but Loki kills him easily.

During this delay, Thor should have been trying frantically to break out before being dropped, because he would have better leverage to do so. Even if he didn't break out before the cell dropped, he most likely would have had an easier time while falling because it would have been already damaged.

What's funny is the fact that the Hulk falls from the sky anyways, and he lives to fight another day. Looks like it's back to the drawing board for Nick Fury and S.H.I.E.L.D.

Hey, I already said that I understand why no one wants to watch movies with me. I watch a movie, like it, and then proceed to find every little small fault with it. If they are making millions and millions of dollars off of it, you have to expect that some people are going to try and find faults with it. That's the American way. :usa:

Besides, I already admitted that I tear apart Dora the Explorer, so what makes you think the Avengers would be safe from my nitpicking? :D

I did give the movie a 7/10 overall though.
