The Avengers (May 4, 2012)

I actually want to see it again. I thought it was that good.

Complaint: The action scenes were very pleasing to the eye, but, to me, it was Hollywood, once again, showing off how much money that they have. I know it looks cool, but is a plane steaming on fire, crashing into a building, causing the building to collapse, falling into the ground leaving the ground breaking and throwing rubble everywhere REALLY that necessary? Other than that, the action scenes were pretty damn cool. I'm just bitching because I can.

I want to give Scarlett Johansson a round of applause. I personally think she stole the show. Jeremy Renner and Mark Ruffalo also get applauded. The other cast was great, no doubt, but those three mentioned I thought just did a great job and I under estimated them in their roles.

Honestly, they were just being true to the source material. Manhattan gets obliterated on a weekly basis in the Avengers comics. Would you have preferred an intense game of chess between Loki and Thor instead?

Avengers had to eclipse the movies that set it up. It had to be big. It had to be epic. And lots of stuff had to break.
