Marvel's big bet 4 years in the making and over the course of 5 movies pays off big with Earth's mightiest heroes battling through they're differences and politics to stop the forces of evil and of course save the Earth. All in a days work.

Avengers Assemble! Joss Whedon Assembles Marvel's Mightiest Heroes!

...To Fight the Foes No Single Super-Hero Could Withstand. On That Day The Avengers Assembled!

With all the recent films that brought Marvel characters to life, almost every comic book fan was excited for the coming of an “Avengers” movie. I have read the “The Avengers” comic books ever since I was a very young child and even read them during this time of my adult life. I even managed to possess many of the issues that came before I was born. I guess you may say that I am an “Avengers” geek; I have seen the evolution of the team from something that leaned … more

Excelsior!!

It's been four years that Marvel has been planning and building to this. If they failed, it would be hysterical. Such a build up, such a hype with such a failure? Oh yeah it would be epic. Ever since Iron Man in 2008 have seeds and build up been planned. All the movies that followed would have something to do with this film be it plot points, characters or even sly hints for fanboys to giggle at when they wink at them across the screen. … more

Movie Goers... ASSEMBLE!

The Avengers is pretty much a summer blockbuster through and through. If there were a rule book for summer blockbusters, The Avengers would've written it. Cheesy one liners? Check. Dumb plot? Check. Flat characters? Sort of check (they're not that flat, but this is assuming you've seen their respective films). Tons of stupid, mindless explosions? Check. Pointless strange deus ex machina that comes out of nowhere? Check. … more

Worth the assembly.

*** out of **** It would appear that Marvel's "The Avengers" has a little something for every movie-goer. The Joss Whedon fan, the comic book/Marvel geek, and the action movie aficionado can all safely rejoice under the comforting roof of a single film. It's been in development for quite some time, and perhaps teased and spoken of for even longer periods of time; but it's finally here, and it pretty much kicks ass. I guess I'll begin by saying that upon first glance, I didn't … more

'The Avengers' Is Spectacularly Good, But Not Great

What amazes me about the latest epic 'Marvel' Comics movie is how many things go right. With the ensemble of so many superheroes placed on one screen: [Captain America, (Evans); Black Widow, (Johansson); Iron Man, (Downey, Jr.); The Incredible Hulk, (Ruffalo); Thor, (Hemsworth); and The Archer, (Renner)]; the results could have easily been a cluttered mess. Instead, nearly all the necessary elements are properly placed. First of all, the menace of Thor's brother, Loki (Hiddleston), and … more

One of the Best Marvel Films

This is the best Marvel film since the first Iron Man film. Just like that film, the best part of this film was Robert Downey Jr. as the wise cracking Tony Stark. Loki has made a deal with an alien race that if he helps them get to Earth, they will conquer the planet and let Loki be the king (right). Loki must pave the way so they can get there and this involves stealing the Cosmic Cube (introduced in Captain America) and using to power a beam to open a passage through space. To … more

Every bit as fun as you would expect.

From the day I walked out of that theatre after watching Captain America I was hyped, hyped for the Avengers. As much as I was hyped I got even more excited when I found out that Joss Whendon was directing. Ever since I started watching Superhero movies I’ve been dying for a film featuring a crossover of different characters from different comic books. While the Avengers technically are their own comic book (Marvel vs. DC is what I had in mind) it’s still something I’m excited … more

So this is what all those movies led to huh? Gotta admit I'm impressed.

An experiment is taking place inside of a S.H.I.E.L.D. base where the scientist are working on harnessing the power to an artifact called the Tesseract on Nick Fury's (Samuel L. Jackson) order. They unknowingly open a dimension that releases the God of Evil, Loki (Tom Hiddleston). After a brief battle, Loki takes the artifact and leaves Nick Fury with no choice but to activate the Avengers Initiative, which gathers a team of super-powered or highly skilled beings. Together they try to put a … more

Something to Marvel at

Comic book movies or superhero movies or whatever you want to call them, all inherently have a very difficult task to accomplish. They all have to cater to a notoriously picky niche market, made up of detail oriented fanboys, while still remaining broad enough to appeal to the masses. They cost a fortune so they cannot afford not to attract the widest audience possible, but if they play it too broad, the fanatics will denounce the film and ruin any chance it has of making any money back. THE AVENGERS … more

The Avengers

For those of you who are not in the know about The Avengers where have you been? Seriously not only have there been two recent movies featuring The Hulk and Iron Man, but last year Paramount obviously rushed through production of Thor and Captain America to get the public ready for what could be a record breaking opening. And while these two movies were nothing all that special, they both lay the ground work and have important … more
