All I can do is wonder what people expected out of The Avengers. It's a table-setter film, I assumed everyone knew that. I thought it was OK, if a bit on the generic side, but the very end was enough to make me excited about where the Avengers series of films is headed. We have one of the better villains of all time coming up. The actual story appears to have just begun.
Also, it should be pretty obvious that movies about groups of superheros aren't going to have the same kind of personal depth as films about individual superheroes. In that regard, they really shouldn't be compared. Just like in the comics they're inspired by, team-based storylines are going to be more about action and less about introspection.
