I saw it from the perspective of a kid who read all of the Marvel comics when they first came out so I actually had a vested interested in what was going to happen to Peter Parker, Thor and Sgt. Fury(and His Howling Commandos).
I actually enjoyed the movie and agree with you that you have to toss out faithfulness to the original comics. (Nick Fury wasn't a black guy, ya know.)
This movie came across as an introduction to all the anticipated sequels and eventual guest appearances by, well, everybody. The tag line at the end of the credits ties it perfectly with Iron Man.
Go, put your brain in real-time neutral and enjoy it for what it's supposed to be, a live action comic book, fer cryin' out loud.
Yours is the best rating I've come across: Not Half Bad. I enjoyed it in a half filled theater on Friday and was quite enjoyable in 2D.
