In the post-SHIELD world, the Avengers remain a going concern, operating with gleeful disregard for sovereignty. On the plus side, the movie does have some qualms about this in the long run. Stark's past and his quixotic drive prove as dangerous as any HYDRA cell, however, pitting the team against a foe who may be a match for them all.
Spoiler free, since spoilers on release day is a dick move however many of my readers but the midnight showings, this is a big ass movie. There is a lot going on, almost too much, and while is already pretty long, I don't think an extended cut would have hurt. As in Avengers Assemble the ensemble is well used, and the film does especially well at selling is a sense of threat in an ongoing franchise.
There were a couple of niggles, especially at the ending, with one resolution in particular feeling more like it was felt to be required than making sense in this incarnation, rather like the death of Gwen Stacey. Overall, however, I heartily enjoyed it.
