Deb's Take:
I am not a super fan of the Super Hero movies. Yet, after seeing this film that brings a team of super heroes together I realized I had seen almost every movie about each individual character that preceded The Avengers. I think it might have something to do with my husband really liking these kinds of films.
As far as Super Heroes go, this movie was good. Sometimes the Sci-Fi stuff ends up being so ridiculous that I just can't get into the movie. This movie...not to shabby in the Sci-Fi area. I will say, see "Thor" before you see this movie, there are some pivotal points that may be lost otherwise. This movie gives you good action, decent acting, a lot more comedy than I would have expected, and some Sci-Fi thrills. Although it wasn't my type of movie, it really was a good movie and I have to say if this type of movie is your thing, you will love it.
Deb's Rate: Opening night for all you Super Hero Fans, personally I could have taken it as a Matinee
Tiff's Take:
Last year when all these Marvel movies were coming out I thought it was weird. Why all the super heroes? It wasn't until this movie came out that I realized it was on purpose and leading up to this one final movie. I know, I'm pretty quick. Good idea. It seems right up my alley even though I'm not a big super hero fanatic.
Going to this movie made me feel a little bit like I did when I went to see Moneyball. I felt like I was doing the movie a disservice by not knowing all there is to know about these super hero characters. I mean, there were some of the movies that I didn't even see like The Hulk and the first Iron Man. I sorta wish I had now. Even though I hadn't seen them all I felt like I still knew what was going on mainly from seeing Thor since the main bad guy is from that movie. So, like Deb said, you might want to see Thor first if you haven't.
As far as liking the movie...I'll be honest. The first part was a little slow. I felt like they could have reintroduced all the characters a little better. It seemed like a hodge podge of activity at first. It didn't start getting really good until about halfway through. I did love the characters/actors in this movie though. I love almost anything Robert Downey Jr. plays and I love Chris Hemsworth's Thor character. He's probably my favorite. Ruffalo's Hulk character was surprisingly funny too.
So what I'm saying here is if you're into this stuff you'll probably love the movie. If you're not, you'll probably like it okay but maybe not think it's worth the hype.
