Ok...so let's start with "review" is a lose term in this case. Rather it's more of a spoiler free list of random comments I have about The Avengers movie.
I've only seen it once...going to IMAX Tuesday, so we'll see if repeated viewings have it holding up.

- They can stop releasing movies for this year now. Nothing is going to come close to this movie, so why even try? Sure...there will be other good movies. There are lots I want to see...but nothing is going to compare to this one.
- My previous list of best comic book movies (different than superhero movies...) went:
- Iron Man
- The Dark Knight
- Captain America
- Superman
- Others
- That list has a new number 1.
- This movie was A LOT funnier than I expected. Yes-Joss Whedon. But A LOT funnier.
- Mid-credit and post-credit scenes were worth it.
- I am interested to see how non-comic book fans enjoy the movies, but the 92% on Rotten Tomatoes says VERY well.
- I went in with high expectations. They were surpassed.
- Everyone did a great job...every character had great moments and important parts. Everyone had strong performances. However I'll say the strongest was either Robert Downey Jr. or Clark Gregg. The weakest was probably Cobie Smulders, who was still awesome but I had trouble seperating this character from Robin Scherbatsky.
- Try to avoid spoilers or funny quotes-there are a ton.
- I am a DC fanboy. I buy ONE Marvel book a month and 20-30 DC books...but Marvel does movies right. DC does movies...ok.
That's good for now. As you can tell...I love it.
