OK, so I know The Avengers has only been out for two days, but I have seen it twice by now and if you haven't seen it yet, you definitely should. The Avengers is one of the best movies I have ever seen. Everything is so perfectly balanced. Joss Whedon's writing shines bright and the fight scenes are visual spectacles that are well thought out and easy to follow. The characters play off each other realistically, and have to work through their differences to save the day. All of the actors give great performances, but The Hulk absolutely steals every scene he is in. I've seen the movie twice already, a 2D showing at the midnight premier and a 3D showing later in the day. The 3D looks great and if you're a fan of 3D, that's probably the way to go, but I personally had an easier time following the action in the fight scenes in 2D. If you're a comic book fan, you owe it to yourself to go see this movie. Oh and when you go, stick around through the credits as there are two extra scenes, the second of which is easily the best after-credits Easter egg Marvel has ever put into one of its movies.
Before the movie, Sony pictures premiered this new trailer for The Amazing Spider-Man, which hits theaters July 3rd. I'm really looking forward to this movie as Spider-Man is my favorite comic book character, particularly the Ultimate Peter Parker, and this movie seems to draw inspiration from that. Also, this Peter Parker makes jokes that are actually funny.
And finally the trailer for the movie that is most-anticipated this year and most likely to topple Earth's Mightiest Heroes, Christopher Nolan's The Dark Knight Rises. I have to say that my excitement for this movie was starting to fade, but not anymore after seeing this marvelous trailer that showcases just how epic this film will be. As a Marvel fan, it pains me to say that I think this will be the best movie of the year and may even trump Nolan's previous Batman efforts. The film arrives July 20, 2012 so be sure to mark your calendars and buy your tickets early.
