'The Avengers' Trailer: Fans, Industry React (Video)

After years of build-up, Marvel's Avengers movie is finally revealing itself. The first official trailer hit the Internet on Tuesday and immediately fanboys (and girls) began opining on what the Joss Whedon-directed movie is getting right and wrong.

While there's always room to nitpick something with such a longtime devoted fanbase as The Avengers, the general consensus seems to be that Marvel, Disney and Paramount may have a hit on their hands.
