The V7 Report: AVENGERS
Cross off Task 98 - it is DONE.
The Review... This would be a 10/10 movie, but for one thing...
***MAJOR SPOILER*** R.I.P. Phil... ***END SPOILER***
AVENGERS has punch-the-air moments, laugh yourself silly moments, "Whoa!" moments, and a round of applause from the audience in a packed house tonight. The movie wastes no time, setting up the threat and protagonists in their own cameos... with one exception - but he shows up all on his own, and doesn't need much of an introduction (***SPOILER*** - that would be Thor. ***END SPOILER***)
Ah, what the heck - JUST GO AND SEE THE DAMN THING. It's Joss Whedon, ferfecksache. There's no need to stay to the VERY end, as usual, but hang about for a couple of minutes for something of a revelation...
Technical Issues... 3D? We don' need no steenkin' 3D. Everything just overawed you too much to notice, but was the print we got not quite the right height for the screen?
In Closing... I don't know what else to say - once I stop bouncing off the walls, I may have more coherent thoughts to share. The critics will probably go more for Prometheus, but what the hell - this kicked all kindsa ass. I LOVED IT. 9.5/10
