Ok, for starters, I'm not a HUGE fan of comics like some of my guy friends who are walking encyclopedias of the Marvel universe and own every issue in pristine condition and multiple copies.!
Yes...there are fanboys who surpass even fangirls in terms of obsession and mania where these superheroes are concerned. (And they have the gall to ridicule us for our Twilight love...*grrrr*)
It would be pretty difficult, though, to remain oblivious to the knowledge and appeal of these characters, when the movie studios have been doing film versions ad nauseum from time immemorial, sometimes with less-than-satisfactory results.
But rest assured, the latest silver screen adaptation of Marvel's The Avengers is anything BUT.
It was action-packed but with a very well-written script which managed to convey the essence of the characters in a humorous yet meaningful manner. There was adequate screen time for every Avenger ( all six of them!) AND Loki, their deliciously cool and handsome nemesis. Haha...I think he's one of the best villains ever and contributed greatly to my enjoyment of this movie.
I was on the edge of my seat, and jaw-droppingly so at that!
The fight scenes and stunts were excellent and the special effects did not overwhelm the senses.
And need I say more about the HUNK swoonfest which was the entire ensemble??
Omg...Robert Downey Jr, Chris Hemsworth, Chris Evans, Jeremy Renner and even Mark Ruffalo....le sigh...*faints*
And Tom Hiddleston is AMAZING....all cheekbones and perfect enunciation...!!!
A quick word about the only female Avenger:
Scarlett Johannsson's Black Widow KICKS ASS...literally.
And nope, Superheroines do not scream....thank goodness!
This is definitely the Mother of all Superhero movies!!
Kudos to Marvel Studios and I MUST once again, give LOADS of credit to Joss Whedon for his brilliant script...without which the movie would have fallen totally flat or been absolutely laughable.
I want a sequel!!!!
