I just saw The Avengers with my son as part of his birthday present. It was fantastic! I'm not going to do a full review because of time and I wouldn't know where to start. This one pretty much got it right. It's clever, fun, contains no major gaping plot holes that I could see, has characters that aren't interchangeable, and respects the source material. That last part is key and what separates this movie from, say, last year's fiasco named after a certain famous Cimmerian. It's worth going to see, even if you have to wait a few days to get tickets.
I hope to see it in a few weeks, when we already happen to have babysitter for the evening. It will be a challenge to avoid spoilers in the meantime.
ReplyDeleteYeah, no kidding. Good luck avoiding the spoilers. Joss Whedon raised the bar for superhero movies on this one and people are going to be talking about it for a while.
DeleteIt sure seems to be clicking with audiences.
ReplyDeleteFor once, aside from minor quibbles which will vary from person to person, they did it right.
