Know that I don't always know what I'm going to say. Games, Entertainment, Self, Weather, Politics, Events, History, Philosophy, all are fair game and any are free without the waring eyes of family or work.
The avengers movie had a lot of hype to live up to, not just the past dozen or so movies but the legacy of the characters and team-ups since their birth.
They did well. Very well. All I'll state is that a lot of movies fall apart when it comes to pacing themselves, that elements are rushed or dragged on too long, this movie was well paced and while it may seem immaterial there are elements throughout it all that drive the plot forward. Some subjects are left untouched, some discrepancies could be argued, but at the end of the day we all know how it will conclude, and the movie deems that those subjects are not a part of that driving force.
The other subject that many, MANY movies fall upon are humor and catch phrases. It's like having that joke in your head that upon stating it out loud you find it really wasn't funny or entertaining. Movies suffer from that frequently, the directors are so badly determined to show or say something that it really is simply stitched in and masks the underlying horribleness of said movie. Avengers does not suffer from this, in fact while reflecting on my drive home it feels like many conversations (not limited to humor) the questions were risen "If this character really wanted to say something, what would they say? how would they say it? What message are they trying to get across?"
Score a 4.5 / 5, for my deduction of half a point feel free to ask privately. And no, the roster of super-hero's (or lack of) is not part of it.
