The Avengers

Man o man I cannot wait for the summer blockbusters to be in full swing, but easily the first thing that will set the stage for this summer is The Avengers! Seems like we cant get enough of Joss Weedon this summer, Cabin in the Woods is already one of the best reviewed movies of the year, and early reviews of The Avengers seems that he could have struck gold twice. The Avengers is Marvel Studios culmination of well received Comic Book Movies. In my opinion the first Iron Man took the title of best Comic Book Movie away from SpiderMan 2, but quickly lost it to The Dark Night. It doesn’t matter because Robert Downey Jr.’s portrale of the billionaire Tony Stark is fantastic. Iron Man 2 may not have been as good as the first it still set up perfectly for this movie. Captain America, the first avenger, was probably my second favorite, I loved the movie, because who doesn’t like seeing a wimp go to supersoldier and beat up Nazis. The Avengers of course is rounded out by the Hulk, whom I expect to be wowed by because I have never been that big of fan, Thor who I kind of feel the same way about, Black Widow, and Jerimey Renner playing Hawk Eye, which I honestly cant wait for, as I am a huge Renner fan. The movies leading up to this have sort of made it an event, and I am totally okay with it. After Iron Man came out and Samuel L Jackson showed up after the credits talking about the Avengers Initiative, every film since had a reference to the next movie, and placed these heros into eachothers movie, creating one solid universe. I really hope that this movie does well because I would love to see an intricate movie universe that goes as deep as the comic universe. Hey a kid can dream cant I.
