Avengers

Holy cow you guys. The Avengers was such a great movie!

 

Joss Whedon did an amazing job of giving every character screen time. I was worried Black Widow and Hawk Eye would only be shown in a scene here and there. Instead, every hero gets some rather amazing scenes. Having Banner and Stark play off each other was perfect, the two genius scientists working together and sharing their knowledge. The dichotomy between Iron Man and Captain America as well as between Thor and the Hulk are so remarkably well-written and shot you wonder how this group of heroes could ever come to terms with each other. Not to mention, the script of the movie pays great respect to comic books. Huge props to the writes for smart, comical dialog that isn't overly dramatic or cheesy.

 

Surprisingly, Robert Downey Jr. didn't "steal the show" as a few fans may have anticipated. I was very pleased with how well Mark Ruffalo protrayed Banner and am excited to see where he takes Banner/Hulk in future movies. Granted, RDJ did have some hilarious lines here and there. Honestly, no single actor got too much attention. The cast worked very well with each other.

 

And of course, Joss Whedon had to get one of his signature plot elements into the movie. I was quite surprised by that scene, but it plays an important part in the transition of the movie. For a moment towards the end, I thought Joss was going to pull another stunt and I nearly had a heart attack...

 

But seriously you guys, Marvel actually pulled off The Avengers movie! With so much room for error, Whedon executed the movie darn-near flawlessly!

 

Now excuse me, I'm going to go inundate myself with Iron Man comics...

As if the US got an extra scene after the credits IT'S SO NOT FAIR despite the fact that the UK got the movie a week ago for no reason lolol.

Joss Whedon is notorious for killing off some peoples' favorite characters in his movies. I put this in spoilers just in case. :P

 

At the end, there's the scene with Thanos and then a scene completely after the credits where the whole team i getting a bite to eat in a destroyed NY restaurant. No one says a thing, but it still managed to make me crack up.

 

 

And what was up with you guys getting the movie before us?! That's fairly uncommon.

 

 

It was pretty excellent.The scene at the end of the credits had giggles.

 

It was perfect. Such a trollolol for people that actually waited through all of the credits, though.

It's a great movie, but definitely wait to see it with your friend! Movies with your best buds are always better. :)

:kaukau: This was actually the first film in quite some time that I've watched in a packed theatre. So yeah, when there were funny parts, I heard the giggles. Unfortunately, I stayed for the first easter egg, but not the second, so I didn't get to laugh with the other people there over that one.

 

By the way, that signature Joss Whedon plot element...

 

 

He pulled it off far better than Buckys death in Captain America.

 

 

Your Honor,
