    eh.

    I was a bit bored watching this, not going to lie. Its just a conversation that doesn't really tell you anything.

    The consultant outdid himself

    While this one shot was sort of a quick connection between movies, it doesn't really do much or add to the overall story in any way. It was more to just give a quick reasoning as to why Stark went to Ross in the first place.

    I did like the conversation between Coulson and Sitwell. I have always liked Coulson as the straight shooting agent but this flick shows that he has a personality and some humor with him. Sitwell is OK though, as we haven't seen much of him anyway. I did find it interesting that the government wanted to send Blonsky over Banner though. Blonsky is a soldier and Banner was a fugitive so it does sort of make sense that they pick the Abomination over the Hulk, but as Shield knows the real story,it kind of adds as to how exactly the Hulk was actually recruited for the Avengers.

    + Coulson and Sitwell + Quick explanation for Hulk, Avengers and Stark - Didn't add anything for overall story - Not as good as other one shots - Could have possibly done more

    Final Score 6.8/10

    Yes I love Coulson

    Yea, I still love Coulson. Nice little One-Shot that's purely Fan Service. Nice to watch but forgettable. Coulson makes it better so I think a 7/10 is alright.

    Great Fan Bait

    These One Shots are really fan bait. Often understated, single concept and great character pieces, these are delightful. I give this short film a 7 (delightful) out of 10. {Marvel Segue}

    Ha-ha! Funny!

    The Consultant is a short little film from MARVEL starring one of the best characters in the MCU - Agent Coulson. Not much to say here, since it's really short, but honestly... it's funny and smart. Nothing special, of course, but it works for the few minutes it runs, and it's somehow refreshing.

    It fits nicely into Phase 1 and adds a bit of charm to the whole SHIELD side-story.

    I must type another 199 characters for this review to be accepted and that's why I am writing this long nosense, because I want to publish it but it is a short film and I don't have anything else to add.

    Final Score: 6/10.
