Avengers are Awesome!

Okay, I don't want anyone to get mad at me, so I'm just going to say right away: this post is just going to be me kind-of, sort-of reviewing The Avengers. And I know that it hasn't come out in the States yet, which is where most of my friends and family are right now, so you've been warned!

The Avengers came out in theaters on April 26 here in Scotland, and a bunch of my FYSAE friends and I wanted to go see it, so we got our tickets to the 12:30 showing, and headed into town, so psyched. We'd all seen the previous movies about the individual Avengers (Iron Man, Captain America, and Thor for me), so of course we all had our favorite superheroes, and I for one was really, really excited to see what the movie would be like with all the heroes brought together...and some new ones introduced. After what felt like a half an hour of commercials and previews, the movie finally started.

And it was totally freakin' awesome! Bringing all those superheroes together made for an incredible movie. Obviously, each of the heroes has their own, rather large ego (except for Captain America, who is still very much the good soldier). Putting the heroes in the same room made for a great clashing of their egos, and in the scenes where they fought with each other, it was really, really cool, and also pretty entertaining. When they figured out what S.H.I.E.L.D. had designed them for and actually started working together as a team, it was even more awesome. My only problem with the movie came when I couldn't figure out which hero was my favorite! I had like Thor the best by far before seeing The Avengers, but in the midst of the epic fight scene, I had no clue which of the heroes I liked best.

Overall, The Avengers was such a great movie. I've always had a soft spot for superhero movies, so that aspect of the movie was obviously amazing. There was also some humor (there were a few parts where my friends and I were laughing like we were watching a comedy). They even brought Pepper Potts back, so there was more of the funny/romantic back and forth between her and Iron Man. But The Avengers was such an amazing movie, I left the movie wishing that I could stay for the next showing. It's a really, really good movie, so when it comes out in the States, go see it! It's super awesome!

A tout a l'heure!
