I saw the Avengers yesterday and one word comes to mind... Awesome! I have seen all of the films leading up to this one and must say that they handled this film really well. There is very little recap and the story just starts assuming that you know what is happening. This is one of the movies strengths to me. I totally geeked out at the large scale comic book action fight sequence toward the end that really capped off the movie well. It was a sight to behold and definitely the best comic book movie I have ever seen. This is saying a lot when compared to The Dark Knight, which is one of the best movies ever made.
If you haven't see the movies leading up to The Avengers, rent them first on DVD to catch up. The movies are:
- Iron Man
- Iron Man 2
- Thor
- Captain America
- The Avengers
This is the order they were released in and I left out the good movie The Incredible Hulk because they recast him with a different actor. If you want to see that one too, it came out between Iron Man and Iron Man 2.
If you're not a comic book fan, I still recommend giving the series a try. The intertwining of the plots is something not seen before in action movies and is really enjoyable. If you're a geek like me, then you've probably already seen it and trying to decide if you're going to see it again.
