Ah no, we didn't hit the commentary, but I'll be sure to learn the songs before long. JW's dialogue is too witty for realism, imho--funny, but it takes me out of the story's context sometimes. For example, Serenity had the River Tam fight scene near the end where this 90-lb waif of a girl destroys a small battalion of Reavers...physically not so possible! But emotionally satisfying of course--the good girl wins.
I think technology and CGI is making it such that anyone can add in some decent action sequences to a film. With the exception of Michael "Hyperkinetic" Bay's work, I feel like most action scenes from film to film generally feel the same. JW's Avengers hopefully doesn't lose me with saccharine-sweet geek references (character depth please!) despite the fact that I will probably enjoy them anyway. I predict success for Avengers.
Now, Green Lantern and Captain America have been red-flagged by my friends as do-not-see movies...I've held off on those, and yet they've done respectably at the box office iirc.
Felicia Day surely can hold her own against Uma and Dana :)
