I could go on and on about what I loved about the film, but I'll just say that this is on the level of The Dark Knight. Possibly the greatest popcorn film ever made.

Check out my review of the film http://awesomereviewer.tumblr.com/post/ ... ers-review

For those of you who don't want to go to the site:
To put it simply, YES! I would have sat through five more movies like “Captain America: The First Avenger” if it meant to get something as awesome as “The Avengers.” Story wise it is simple, they don’t try to make it deeper or more meaningful. It’s about good vs. evil and that’s all we really need. It isn’t Oscar bait or trying to take the superhero genre into a new light. It’s fun and entertaining. However, the film still invests you emotionally. There are parts that you feel inspired and you might even get a lump in your throat, but you are going to have one hell of a time.

The film is very well directed. With some really exciting shots and moments. You’ll be holding your breathe during the action sequences and laughing your pants off during the more funny moments. The director balances the serious moments with the more comic moments so well. It feels naturally and doesn’t take you out of the film. The writing is top-notch. Hilarious one liners and witty banter between the characters.

Characters are all great and I think this film showcases them all at there very best. One would think that so many egos in one place would get overwhelming or that one character would out shine the other, but no they all have a chance to shine and balance each other very well. Chris Hemsworth as Thor is great as always and his character is fairly similar to the one in “Thor,” which is great. Robert Downey Jr. as Iron Man is great too and a little less intolerable. He is still about himself, but doesn’t get to the point of becoming annoying, like in his other films. He is funny and the right amount to make him really enjoyable. The biggest improvement is with Chris Evans as Captain America, this is the Captain America that we’ve wanted. He’s funny, sort of a lost puppy, but his leadership and moral shines. He is so much more entertaining in this one. But the best character is by far Marc Ruffalo as The Hulk, this dude is just amazing. He is definitely the best Hulk (and I really liked Ed Nortans) and Bruce Banner. As Bruce we see him jitter as he tries to hold back the Hulk. He’s funny, but when he turns to Hulk…Oh my word, it is worth it. They tease you so much that when he finally transformers, you’re cheering for him and he steals every scene and moment. Hawk Eye and Black Widow also stand their own along with this superhero frenzy. Loki is a great villain and I don’t think I need to explain his awesomeness, and the fact that out of all the avenger movies, he is the best.

The best part of the characters are how they are intact with their personalities and non of them lost any of in the transition to “The Avengers” in fact they became more refined. Most enjoyable is the butting of heads and banter between the characters. They play off each other so well. It is a joy to watch, especially when they fight with each other, but it as exciting when they fight the enemy.

Special effects are superb. Everything looks amazing and only adds to the entertainment. They don’t let the effects take over, which many movies tend to do. It is integrated so well. It adds to the thrills, the excitements of watching the film. And the last battle is just breath taking.

Overall “The Avengers” is a really entertaining movie and the reason why we go to theaters. You will have an incredibly fun time with this film. It is officially my favorite superhero film ever. It has everything from great humor, great special effects, to exciting battles and really enjoyable characters. There is a saying that only 3 things that work in movies and that is entertainment, entertainment, and entertainment and this movie is entertainment. I give it 5/5, this movie is the epitome of entertainment.

This is the most fun you’re going to have all year int the theaters, highly recommend that you go watch it right now.

“Awesomeness”

Back for little moment just to say that I saw the movie today and it was fucking kick ass and awesome. Encompass all the great essence of what make it a such great superhero flick. The final ending after credits was so lol worthy and the Hulk stole the show. He was fantastic.

ScarJo's Black Widow made me get a boner with that sassy DAT ASS. I like Cap's leadership and Iron Man's sarcastic attitude. The two are opposites yet work best for each other.

The teaser ending was mind blowing awesome.


peace out.

Saw it today and am counting the days until its blu ray release. Of course I'll probably give it a second big screen viewing in the meantime. What a great movie.

Sorry for bringing this up, but what about, "The Dark Knight Rises?" Unless, Disney and Pixar's, "Brave," will take down, "The Dark Knight Rises," since Disney's, "Rapunzel (Tangled)," took down, "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 1," at the box office on its second week after the first behind that movie.

It will be kinda hard for "Brave" to take down "The Dark Knight Rises" mainly because it comes out almost a month earliar. Whereas "Tangled" came out after Potter.

Just thought this would be fun to post. A company calculated how much the damage to Manhattan would cost.

The Hulk made me laugh hard! In other words, I saw the movie, and it was killer awesome. But will it remain on top against, "The Dark Knight Rises," and still hold the top box office for best opening weekend?

People keep wondering that. I really think that it will. Dark Knight Rises looks to be a fantastic movie but on the other hand a very depressing one. The Avengers is the most fun you will have at the theater this year and I think right now people just want to escape and have a good time. I could be wrong, I know Batman will do really, really well, but I don't think it will surpass the Avengers.
