Avengers!

So I'm a little bit behind the times, but I just saw The Avengers tonight! Wow, that was a really good movie!

Now I have to go and rent Iron Man.

Oh, yes. RDJ's Tony Stark is the king of snark ;) He's very snarky in Iron Man too, so that's alright! But I think he played off really well with the rest of the Avengers, something that doesn't exist in the Iron Man films - for example, I normally can't really stand Captain America, but when he was interacting with Tony Stark he was actually bearable and even amusing at times.

And yes, definitely about the script. I don't much mind explosions and fight scenes - hey, when you're doing my work for a while, you see all the various ways in which films can be bad, explosions or not. But it is a very good and humoristic script that made for a very entertaining film. :D I liked that it didn't try too much to be heavy and meaningful - I mean, it is an explosions-superhero film, it's not going to be profound. So it went for the clever laughs instead and did so brilliantly.

Yes! I think Whedon knew exactly what type of movie he wanted to make, and then nailed it.
