The Avengers

When it comes to comic-book movies, I'm like those people who see the movie but never read the book. I didn't read comic books growing up except for Archie. But I usually like comic-book movies. It has nothing to do with DC vs Marvel, or how well they stay true to the original story (because I have no clue). Either I like the movie or I don't. Usually, I want to see them when they come out. Sometimes they disappoint (cough, Green Lantern, cough) and sometimes they're so awesome that I'm surprised.

Like, The Avengers. I wanted to see it but I was afraid it wouldn't live up to all the hype.


But it did. Oh it did. I mean, is there someone in this universe who didn't love The Avengers? Really, I'd like to meet this person so I could slap the silly out of them. Avengers had everything. Great action, a few tender moments, the best one-liners- mostly delivered by Iron Man ("Better clench up, Legolas"), and the best Hulk-Smash scene ever. And let's not forget about all the eye-candy (how could we forget that???).

I don't think I need to say anymore. Except to profess my love for The Avengers. And to wonder why I've only seen it twice?! Excuse me while I go watch it again.

P.S. I read in an article that everyone has signed on to do the sequel except Jeremy Renner. What's the deal, Jer? We're counting on you. Please give us some more Hawkeye.

Warning: Spoilers. But um, really? If you haven't seen this movie yet, what have you been doing?

    I feel the same way! I bought it on Blu-Ray right when it came out and I've only watched it twice! I should watch it again this weekend. :)

    Such a great movie! And as for GREEN LANTERN--the only good thing to come from it is the protag marrying the love interest in real life. The end. :)

    What? Jeremy seriously needs to sign; Hawkeye is my favorite character. Darn.

    I love it too! Eye candy, one-liners, and awesomeness. :)

    I've seen Avengers five times and plan on seeing it many more. My kids are totally obsessed. And Hawkeye better get his act together and sign up for the next one!
