The world premiere of Joss Whedon‘s The Avengers happened tonight in Hollywood. We recorded a video blog reaction after the screening which we’ll be posting in addition to a couple full reviews from various members of the /Film team. But any long form reviews are embargoed until later — at this moment they are saying May 2nd, but I’d bet that will be moved up. We were allowed to tweet our reactions after the screening. I have compiled a round-up of all the tweets I could find, which includes the usual LA film journalists and a few of the geek celebrities who attended the premiere.

The Avengers is pretty epic. There is probably more action in this film’s climax than all the other Marvel movie combines! — Peter Sciretta (@slashfilm) April 12, 2012

I’d tweet about The Avengers but my body is still recovering from non-stop geeking out. So, so, so much fun (for the most part). — Germain Lussier (@GermainLussier) April 12, 2012

@GermainLussier Agree the more that I think about it. I have a lot of nitpicks in the first half. But second half is pretty solid. — Peter Sciretta (@slashfilm) April 12, 2012

Not a false note. Innovative. BRUTAL. And goddamn funny. Hype = believe it. #Avengers — Josh Dickey (@Variety_JLD) April 12, 2012

It’s the bomb. I could not possibly say enough. — Josh Dickey (@Variety_JLD) April 12, 2012

THE AVENGERS. Finally, a Marvel film with a rousing finish. I’ll deal with the first two acts in my review. — Jeremy Smith (@mrbeaks) April 12, 2012

And that third act is more than enough to make THE AVENGERS the best Marvel movie yet. — Jeremy Smith (@mrbeaks) April 12, 2012

The Avengers – Epic. EPIC! Everyone fights everyone, but it does deliver. Marvel’s movies get better every single one. Hulk! HULK!! — Alex Billington (@firstshowing) April 12, 2012

@sonicmayhem Yes, just saw it in 3D. Some good shots, but overall the 3D is meh as usual. — Alex Billington (@firstshowing) April 12, 2012

Full Avengers review embargoed and not gonna go into huge details. But… Ruffalo is terrific as Bruce Banner. Makes the role his, big time. — Eric Goldman (@EricIGN) April 12, 2012

Avengers was big, messy, fun. More importantly there’s now nothing but Hawkeye fanfic swimming around in my head. #mmmrenner — jen yamato (@jenyamato) April 12, 2012

Seriously, if comic book movies are your thing, you will be fully satisfied by the concoction Joss Whedob has fixed for you with #AVENGERS. — Anthony Breznican (@Breznican) April 12, 2012

Absolutely loved THE AVENGERS. Was smiling from beginning to end. If you’re a Marvel fan you’re going to lose your shit in the theater. — Steven Weintraub (@colliderfrosty) April 12, 2012

Also, the two things that made #THEAVENGERS amazing: the Hulk and the humor. Joss Whedon gets a 10 out of 10 on both of those. — Steven Weintraub (@colliderfrosty) April 12, 2012

That’ll do, Joss, that’ll do. — Devin Faraci (@devincf) April 12, 2012

AVENGERS is good enough to make me forgive IRON MAN 2. — Devin Faraci (@devincf) April 12, 2012

I mean, IRON MAN 2 still sucks, but I’m less mad about it. — Devin Faraci (@devincf) April 12, 2012

Btw, avoid THE AVENGERS in 3D. Worthless. See it 2D. — Devin Faraci (@devincf) April 12, 2012

GAHHHHH!!!! Avengers was delightful kick-assery with whipped fun on top!!! Well done Joss et al! twitpic.com/98rbj7 — Chris Hardwick (@nerdist) April 12, 2012

The Hulk we have been waiting for has at last arrived. #AvengersFuckYeah THE AVENGERS was fantastic. Whedon crushed it, guys. It’s everything you’re hoping for. — Ben Pearson (@benpears) April 12, 2012 — Damon Lindelof (@DamonLindelof) April 12, 2012

So that was AMAZING. Like, double plus awesome. Thank you Joss Whedon for giving us all the #Avengers movie we deserve. #OnlyYou — Seth Green (@SethGreen) April 12, 2012
