If
you read my things I enjoy blog you will know that I went to see the Avengers but actually never gave you
a halfway decent story to tell you what happened. I won the chance to go
see the Avengers through an in-house competition at work, which was best
training buddy in the area for the quarter. This gave me the chance to walk
down the red carpet and see the Avengers before anyone else (talking to one of
the film buyers for our company the premiere was the 4th time he had actually
watched it).
To
do a decent review of this movie I feel like I should try to critique it in
some way, no matter how small or insignificant that critique is, but I may
struggle as from start to finish it was one of the best films that has come out
this year, and one of the best films that has been adapted from a comic book
that I had ever seen. The movie was action packed from start to finish so there
was no chance to get bored through the movie as there was always something
going on that would grab my attention. I also liked the way that the film
wasn't just focused on one main character as they each had their own movie,
apart from the Hulk, even though you should count Edward Norton’s Hulk as part
of the Avengers franchise. I enjoyed the way the characters connected with each
other and bounced off each other to create some great on-screen chemistry
between them without trying to pull focus from each other. I never felt as if
one of them was trying to steal the show which can often happen when you get a
lot of big actors in one film. I ended up watching the film three times
in the cinema, and I laughed in all the same places and jumped in all the same
places. I would love to tell you at what point in the film I jumped, because
there was only one point, and if you've seen it you can probably guess, and if
you haven't seen it, seriously... why not? I don't think you even need to be
that into comic books to enjoy the films. This will probably upset my uncle
(comic book writer) Dan Abnett, but I've never read any of the Avengers comics,
and I only know the backgrounds from the individual films in the series that
proceeded this film. I wish I had, though, because then I could maybe comment
on how the film keeps to the comics. I can't wait till the second film comes
out... and Iron Man 3.
Still jealous you got to go to the premiere! I do think Ed Norton's Hulk is actually officially part of the Avengers movies anyway, as there's a post-credit scene where Tony Stark invites him to join the initiative. (:
