The Avengers.. wow.

Now THAT was a good movie. Very underappreciated.

THANK YOU. I loved that movie. And I thought the casting was perfect. Although, I can't wait to see my boyfriend Henry as Superman.

I just watched this film two nights ago. Unfortunately, I have to agree with DDD that this was not a good movie. Totally unbelievable (Shield can scan every video monitor in the world looking for loki, but cannot realize that hawkeye is in a rogue plane shooting exploding arrows at them ) and the dialogue didn't come close to that of Ironman. I was bored and could't wait for the show to end.

Here is what was posted by a fb friend (relative, actually) today:

Finally broke down and saw the Avengers yesterday...AWESOME. Great plot, character developments, special effects...etc! The rest of the day was great too! Love patriotic celebrations!

I chuckled to myself at the plot and character development comments (and I haven't even seen it). I just can't imagine a comic book movie successfully doing either of those things, let alone doing them to a point of greatness. (And no, unlike others, I don't think Ironman was awesome. It was the best of a bad genre. The threshold is so low, however, i think it causes people to overrate that show.)

Watched this again on a plane flight bAck to sfo tonight. In enjoyed it again. Sure, it's ludicrous, but it still made me smile.
